Please Take Action For Maryanne Godboldo

•  By: Heather Catallo

DETROIT (WXYZ) - The Detroit mother accused of firing a gun and holding police at bay after they came to take her daughter was in court Thursday.

The judge postponed the preliminary hearing for Maryanne Godboldo – but Action News Investigator Heather Catallo is digging into a key claim that arose today in court: was the order used to take the child valid?

The Investigators have been taking a close look at how child protective services workers take children away from the parents. The attorney in the Godboldo case is now claiming the signature on this order was rubber stamped – and she’s not sure it was the judge who actually stamped it.

Maryanne Godboldo’s attorney says when a CPS caseworker came to take her 13 year old daughter in March – Godboldo demanded to see the court order authorizing the child’s removal from her home. Allison Folmar says her client never got a good look at the order before the situation spiraled out of control, with allegations that Godboldo fired a shot, followed by a lengthy police standoff.

Now Folmar is saying the order isn’t valid.  read the rest.

In support of Maryanne Godboldo's Constitutional Rights as a parent to make decisions about her child's medical care people are being asked to call the Judge and protest, please be respectful when you call:

Please begin calling Judge Lynn Pierce on Monday July 18th and continue through NOON on August 1st. Issue formal complaints against CPS, their ability to force children on medications, take children from their parents without substantiated evidence or official court orders from judges and the ridiculousness of this trial.
