NYC Judge Separates 6-Year-Old From Mother Because She Didn’t Mask While Dropping Her Off at School

A New York City judge has separated a 6-year-old girl from her mother because she wasn’t wearing a mask while dropping her off at school.

Dr. Micheline Epstein had dropped off her daughter at the Birch Wathen Lenox School on the Upper East Side last week, when school officials tried forcing her to put on a mask on the sidewalk.

From The Gateway Pundit:

The tearful mother explained in a phone call that her daughter was already inside the building and wearing a mask when the school nurse and school security attempted to force Dr. Epstein to wear a mask on the public street in front of the building where drop off takes place, Dr. Epstein refused.

“No one got physical or anything, she just refused to wear the mask. They were outside on the public sidewalk,” Dr. Epstein’s boyfriend Jeff Guttenplan explained, adding that the daughter was wearing a mask because they are required to go inside.

The mother explained that the school nurse had came out and was aggressively demanding that she put on a mask, but she was already leaving and did not accept it. “The next thing I know, my daughter is taken away from me,” she cried.

If that wasn’t already bad enough, the father used the notice about the mask situation to request an emergency hearing for full custody — which Justice Matthew F. Cooper granted after berating the already emotionally devastated mother.

After Dr. Epstein left the school grounds, she and her estranged husband and lawyers also received a letter from the expensive school declaring Ms. Epstein was no longer permitted to drop her daughter off at school.

Additionally, the court decided that the mother is not permitted to remove her daughter from the expensive school — and told her that she does not have a choice in the matter. She is currently working three jobs to pay for not only her daughters expenses, but the six lawyers she hired to fight what she is referring to as the kidnapping of her child.

On Tuesday, Dr. Epstein was not permitted to see, or even speak to, her daughter — even though it was her sixth birthday.

To get two supervised visits with her daughter per week, she will need to wear a mask inside her own home.

“The only thing I want is for people to stand up already and stop with this nonsense,” Dr. Epstein told Gateway Pundit.
