@Mike_Hixenbaugh It’s even more clear that @childrenswi, @WisDCF and @DAJohnChisholm are out of control. Half of America would have their child removed if this is what they define as abuse! Who voluntarily brings their child to the hospital they work at if they are an abuser? #bringherhome
The country is focused on @childrenswi and @WisDCF right now although it’s happening in other states. Let’s start by listening to the medical professionals who say John did not abuse the baby so this family can be reunited and WI families can regain hope in these institutions.
@DAJohnChisholm Please use your power and position to help families who are afraid to take their child to the hospital for fear of abuse accusations. #bringherhome

@ericdinger@DAJohnChisholm@DAJohnChisholm please use your position to do what’s right for this family as there is a much bigger problem that needs dealt with. Medical kidnapping has families scared to take their child to a hospital. Too much power given to one person/dept can be destructive. #bringherhome
My prayers remain with the family of Dr. John Cox, a Luverne native and son of Mike & Cheryl. A series of missteps by WI authorities and hospital staff led to an unimaginable outcome. Please join me in calling for the wrongs to be corrected! #BringHerHome https://t.co/tbFZrJyrQe
An external audit of Child Advocacy is the only fair & just way to handle this. It’s going to uncover things that an internal audit would cover up and it’s not going to be pretty. If you truly care about child safety, it’s the only way. @childrenswi#bringherhome
After backlash from medical staff, Children's Wisconsin is now pledging an outside investigation of child abuse cases. But documents reviewed by @NBCNews show that hospital execs were made aware of serious problems months ago but repeatedly refused to act. https://t.co/DglYgLNcZM
Exonerate John Cox, reunite the family, protect other families falsely accused. This baby girl needs her family. We won’t stop fighting for her. @childrenswi@WisDCF@Mike_Hixenbaugh#bringherhome
Exonerate Dr Cox, reunite the family, and protect other families. This family deserves to be together. Baby girl needs her mom and dad. @childrenswi@WisDCF#bringherhome
.@WisDOJ on DCF cease and desist letter sent to reporter: "Our Department of Children and Families does really important work protecting kids ... and I know that making sure that they maintain the privacy of minors is very important to them ..."
There have been 100’s of letters written. More than 20 families have shared their story with me since this report. Many people, including dr’s of @childrenswi, won’t take their child there now. It’s time for a transparent multi-disciplinary review of child advocacy.#bringherhome
After our reporting this week, @childrenswi officials have been bombarded with angry letters. Here’s one to a hospital board member:
“I am horrified, as I know you must be, to know that this criminal complaint is based on falsehoods and deliberate ‘stretching’ of the truth.”
