Marissa Anderson is a doula and mom of three, including twin babies. After a smooth pregnancy and birth at a birth center, her family's story made national news.

Marissa sought appropriate medical care for baby Cyrus when he was 10 months old, and in a wild turn of events, he was unjustly and without evidence taken into custody by the state of Idaho. Multiple members of Marissa's family were arrested, and the incident was live-streamed on Facebook. Support from the public and morally convicted insiders at both the hospital and CPS eventually led to all charges being dropped and baby Cyrus being returned to Marissa and her family.

In part one of this gripping conversation, Marissa shares her harrowing experience with the police, Child Protective Services (CPS), and the overwhelming fear and emotional turmoil she faced during this traumatic ordeal. Marissa's determination to fight for her child's well-being, coupled with the support of her community, showcases the resilience of a mother navigating a corrupt and broken system.

Stay tuned for part 2 - Marissa's redeeming twin birth story!
