The Department of Justice recently found that the Massachusetts Department of Children and Family (DCF) violated a mother's civil rights under the ADA by discriminating against her based upon a disability. DCF had removed a 2 day old baby from the mother because they had determined she was unable to parent due to a developmental disability even though she had support from her parents.
