Reintegration was started, but later stopped for no apparent reason. This mom lost her parental rights but is trying to get them back. Even her parents were denied custody of the children.  This mom appeared at the Joint Committee on Children’s Issue at the Kansas Capitol on Nov 30, 2009.

She said she was happy to see her child and took 30 minutes to be  a mom during that chance encounter.

Arnold said she tried intentionally the next day to see her child again but she was not allowed to.  She said it is her understanding there are now two warrants out because of the chance visit with her child.   The Sedgwick County Sheriff  issued an arrest warrant for her, Arnold said.
