I really think I'd go in there with a machine gun to get my baby back. I know that doesn't sound logical but all logic would be lost on me. I would literally go crazy from the despair. Breastfeeding and those first months - years really - are SO important and I don't think I would be able to be kept away from my baby.
They accuse you of false crimes and threaten you with contempt of court (imprisonment) and if you fuss, they lock you up. And they take the kids anyway.
I would literally go nuts. There would be no reasoning with me. Newborns and their mothers falling in love - it's just so crucial. I'm strict with my kids and not a warm and fuzzy person, but with newborns it's a whole nother ballgame. It's a thing of nature that you just don't mess with.
frankly, if you have something they want, they will arrest you whether you have guns or not. And also, you can't go in with guns. There are metal detectors in Courthouses for that reason. So, keep your kids safe, stay healthy, and dispense with anyone who threatens you in your own home. It will be your word against a dead guy who threatened you physically.
Yeh. I'm not a confrontational person. I cry and fall to pieces when I get pulled over for a speeding ticket.
We have 6 children so I'm hoping that there won't be any more little bundles in my future. So I don't expect anyone to try and steal my babies. I am watching my younger 3 like a hawk right now though. I worry so much
I would recommend taking practical steps to keep them safe, like get a dog or security system etc and try to worry less. you'll make yourself crazy and your kids won't take your concerns seriously.
We have an alarm system and a shotgun, but I'll never stop worrying. I try not to nag them, and I want them to grow up with some real sense and some independence, so I don't helicopter. I don't want them to turn out like the snowflakes!
They ride their bikes etc around our neighborhood without me - the older 3. I worry when they are out, but I know it's important for their development so I just pray to their guardian angels.

they would not care if you killed yourself in despair

I know. They'd arrest me or kill me as I went in with guns a blazing.
