ANSWERED PRAYER Our top-read story of the year in Health Impact News was about the Rengo family in Bellingham, Washington who had all three of their children taken away by CPS after giving birth to twins at home. The story caused such a national outcry, that the Governor of Washington reportedly received over 6000 phone calls. The story had 1.5 million pageviews within 48 hours, even though it was published just before the Thanksgiving holiday. State Representative Jason Overstreet, representing the 42nd district in Washington where the family resides, took an interest in the case and stepped forward to help the parents. He reportedly contacted Constitutional Attorney Stephen Pidgeon who agreed to represent the family in court. The result was a long 3-day custody hearing which was highly publicized in local media, and the RETURN of the children to the family. There will likely be updates to this story and the situation in Washington State in 2015.
