LANSING, Mich. — Baby Bree is back home.
In a case that galvanized Michigan supporters of medical marijuana, custody of an infant seized by Child Protective Services workers last month was awarded to the child’s parents Friday in a Lansing courtroom.
“I’m ecstatic,” said Bree’s mother, Maria Green, standing outside the courtroom with a dozen medical marijuana activists wearing green ribbons.
“Bree will be in her own bed tonight. We’re going to hug her and read to her and love her,” said Maria’s husband, Steve Green.
On Sept. 13, Steve and Maria Green, each a state-approved marijuana user, stood in their Lansing home in shock as employees from the county’s Child Protective Services unit said the Greens might be exposing their infant daughter Bree to marijuana. As police looked on outside the Greens’ two-story gray house, Bree was taken from her mother’s arms and driven away.
