No, that's what she claims
Seven armed officers arrived at her home two months after she gave birth. Did her offence really require the presence of that many officers descending on her home, and all of them armed?
She experienced the psychological stress of that [including the fear it generated among her other children] and all this took place only a few weeks [two months] after she had given birth [itself a stressful event - re hormone level adjustments, sore breasts etc, weepy moments, exhaustion, and so forth].
Further stress was caused to her by being charged with prescription fraud because she took painkillers to help her cope with the final weeks of her pregnancy, and presumably with caring for her other children.
All of which, given that the state child child agency found no wrongdoing, was unnecessary and excessive."It ain't necessarily so

Just doesn't pass the smell test.
Want me to change the deceptive thread title?

I have already said there appears to have been an overreaction.

Commissioned police officers in the US are armed. Almost without exception. On duty and off. If they go to a burger joint for lunch, they're armed. If they make a presentation at a public school, they are armed.
Kvetching over the fact that "all of them were armed" is just dramaqueenery on your part.
Want I should change the dishonest thread title for you?

And, once again, I already said it sounded like overreaction.

All I know is that you deal a whole lot more in hysterical speculation than you do solid fact.

I am simply commenting on what the op-ed piece stated. You seem to be questioning its veracity.
The charge was prescription fraud.
