For the first time in modern history, an association of Minnesota parents brought a civil rights lawsuit against state and county agencies enforcing Minnesota’s child protection laws on April 24, 2018. Dwight Mitchell and the group Stop Child Protection Services from Legally Kidnapping Children, a 501(c)(3) association of 4,800+ parents, allege that Minnesota’s child protection laws are unconstitutionally vague and overbroad, triggering unnecessary investigations and putting children at risk for being removed from their homes unnecessarily based solely on allegations and social worker discretion. This is the first civil rights lawsuit to challenge the statues and definition of a Child in Need of Protection or Services (CHIPS). 200 Parents with matching t-shirts and signs will gather at the federal building from 8:00 am to Noon to show support during the oral arguments.
