Katherine (Katie)-Jackson Indiana

Katherine (Katie) Jackson, an Indiana mother, refuses to back down to the Department of Child Services after she claims they falsely framed her as negligent, denying her child’s legitimate medical diagnoses and doctor’s orders that resulted in her children being removed from her care for almost three years in 2022, portraying her as unfit and a danger to her children. Her child, being born severely premature at 23 weeks, retains significant illnesses and a multitude of developmental delays. Because she’s not a medical professional, doctors dismissed Katherine’s pleas and actively interfered with her advocacy for her daughter’s incredibly rare disease. The diagnosis of this genetic condition, known as Pilarowski Bjornsson Syndrome (PBS) was shared by only 10 individuals worldwide at the time, and is now recognized in 46 individuals. In addition, the child suffers from alopecia, a more common and visually identifiable condition, which presents as hair loss.

“Throughout this nightmare, I have been trying to advocate for my child in a world where mothers are consistently dismissed by medical professionals who think they know best,” said Katherine Jackson. “I refuse for my children to believe I have done anything but protect and love them, and I want nothing more than to have them back with me where they belong. I will continue to fight on behalf of my children, myself, and mothers everywhere who have suffered the same fate. You are not alone, and I will not back down.”

So far, this case has racked up three million dollars in court fees, legal expenses and associated costs. Katherine (Katie) is also fighting criminal charges against her with a possible sentence up to ten years in jail. As we see it the only ‘crime’ she is guilty of is loving her children.
