Kansas medical marijuana activist loses custody of son [View all]

"At this time, no charges have been filed against Shona Banda. Nonetheless, her son has been taken from her house. Garden City Police Captain Randy Ralston defended police actions:
“The most important thing here is the child’s well-being,” Ralston said. “That is why it is a priority for us, just because of the danger to the child.”
The Department of Child and Family Services also made a brief statement:
The Kansas Department of Children and Families also declined to talk about the case, citing confidentiality reasons. But its spokeswoman, Theresa Freed, said that generally the agency’s goal ultimately is to “keep families together when it is safe to do so.”
