Bagel-Eating Mom Fails Drug Test Because Of Poppy Seeds, Loses Child To Authorities
Elizabeth Mort, a mother of a baby taken away all because of a bagel , has received a $143,500 settlement. The bizarre but not unheard-of situation occurred when a poppy seed bagel that the mother ate resulted in a false positive for opiates.
Her last meal before giving birth was a poppy seed bagel which contained minute traces of opiates. The troublesome high-carb foodstuff led authorities to remove little Isabella from her care. She was, thankfully, returned five days later and Mort, with assistance from the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania, has successfully sued the Jameson Hospital and Lawrence County's child welfare agency for $143,500. According to the suit, the hospital's threshold for drug screening was ridiculously low. [ Source ]
