A mother is currently fighting for the return of her daughter after authorities removed the child from her care. The matter came about because the mother gave the child a homemade concoction that included marijuana in an effort to soothe the child's symptoms of a seizure. The matter has caused a great deal of outrage within the community, with people deeply divided over how the child custody case should be handled.
