Military Couple Takes Twins to E.R. for Injury. Over 500 Days Later, They're Still Fighting to Get Them Back (Exclusive)


Alicia and Matt Jackson were shocked when they took their infant son to the hospital with concerns about an injury and ended up fighting for custody of their twins.

The family said that they would meet with CPS the next day, but they were awoken during the night and asked to return to the hospital immediately after discovering what they believed to be healing injuries in Wyatt's x-rays. My dad works for the state of Connecticut and my mom's a school bus driver for special needs, so we knew for sure that they would both be qualified to take the kids. "To hear from another highly qualified expert that this indeed was not abuse, that this was that my children had a genetic disorder, that they had Ehlers-Danlos, was a relief," Alicia says, noting she was also "concerned that they were being neglected in ways, because people weren’t looking at the medical diagnosis."
