“There was an immediate removal order from DCFS (Department of Children and Family Services) when the suspect left the hospital with the child prior to the removal,” according to a news release from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
“This is considered a parental abduction by [the infant’s] mother, Alexus Simpson,” the news release states.
The infant boy was identified as Jack Evans. Sheriff’s officials said he was last seen at 1:20 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 3, at Antelope Valley Hospital, in the 1600 block of West Avenue J in Lancaster. Jack was three days old at the time of his disappearance, sheriff’s officials said.
His mother, 25-year-old Alexus Simpson, was described as 5-feet tall and 125 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.
Anyone with information that might help detectives locate Alexus Simpson or the infant is encouraged to contact the Lancaster Sheriff’s Station at 661-948-8466. Anonymous tips can be reported to Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477, or at http://lacrimestoppers.org.

HOW ABOUT NEVER TAKING KIDS FROM PARENTS EXCEPT WHEN THE KID’S LIVES ARE IMMEDIATELY ENDANGERED..?
NOT JUST BECAUSE DRUGS ARE INVOLVED..!
AND THEN HAVE IT DONE BY OUR POLICE IN REAL COURTS WITH OUR CONSTITUTIONAL DUE PROCESS RIGHTS..?
***
LET’S TAKE THE MOM AND THE KID AND PLACE THEM TOGETHER IN A RE-HAB INSTITUTION…
THAT WAY INFANTS CAN STILL NURSE AND CUDDLE…
AND THE POOR MOTHER WON’T LVE ON IN INCREDIBLE PAIN OR KILL HERSELF…
***
MORE HUMANE TO JUST HAVE THE DCFS GOONS SIMPLY SHOOT THE BAD MOTHERS THAN TO TAKE AWAY THEIR KIDS…
***
– DESTROYING FAMILIES IS EVIL –

One if she reads this I wish her the best with her baby you go mama take care of that beautiful baby, don’t you let nobody snatch your kids away , if for any reason you do have a drug problem I pray that you get the help that you need for you and your baby will be good his child protective services cannot be trusted with anyone’s children and I know it for a fact look what happened to Gabriel took them away from the only family who loved him and gave him to demons look what happened with the Cal City boys there are so many out there that should not have their children or anybody’s children and they do.

DCFS workers need BODY CAMS we need to know what made them make the decision that that woman is not safe with her child. That’s the only thing they assess for. I’m a nurse and I’ve seen people test positive for drugs and they still get to go home with their child as long as they comply and and show that they can handle their stuff safely. I have even heard of a social worker giving a parent a lockbox for their marijuana. It’s just about safety for the children. Usually if you just comply and show reasonable comprehension and communication and understanding you can take take your classes or if you’re already completely safe you should be fine. But there are some vindictive workers and they are just regular people like the police and every other person in any profession where some people lies some people steal some people cheat and they need BODY CAMS! And a lot of them are young and incompetent and remember they are only social workers they don’t have to get any sort of license or pass any sort of real test state board exam nothing. As i call them ( cashiers with too much power) . And then on the other side you got the old ones who don’t care they’re tired they’ve been working as social workers for 20-30 years they’re lazy. So yeah BODY CAM!

My guess is that she tested positive for drugs. All mothers are routinely drug tested at birth.
Source: Social worker when I was a foster parent. As a mother that had previously given birth to three children, it was a shock to me to find this out. I had been drug tested and was never notified.
Stinger says
DCFS has an abysmal record when it comes to their judgement and methods and, a is typical for DCFS, there is no mention as to why DCFS personnel would be taking the child at all, let alone on an urgent basis.
If you want the public’s assistance, they must trust your agency. DCFS lost that public trust a long time ago.

I wouldn’t turn her in if I did see her! There isn’t enough facts being reported about the situation! And everyone knows we cannot always trust the DCFS or, the other powers that be!

Alex Villanueva got hired to enforce the law, not you and not me. In my opinion anyone who is not getting paid to enforce the law should never volunteer. The only word I ever say to a cop is “lawyer.”
