Dwight Mitchell, a management consultant whose family once lived in Apple Valley, saw his role as father abruptly shift to a desperate mission to get his children back when child protective services took custody following a 2014 incident. The subsequent ordeal convinced him to file a lawsuit, and that drew calls for help from other parents in similar straits.
Mitchell’s encounter with the state came about when a family babysitter reported to officials that Mitchell had spanked his 11-year-old son. The babysitter reported the incident to Dakota County MN child protection workers who, Mitchell’s suit alleges, removed his children from the family home. Mitchell said he intended for the spanking to give his son guidance for stealing, disobeying his parents and failing to do assigned school work. He called it an act of love.
