Despite federal investigations on fraudulently generating scientific reports to support "illegally and wrongfully" marketing these psychotropic drugs to kids, Michigan is willing to go for termination of parental rights to cover up the Medicaid fraud, and other violations of law.

Charges dropped against Detroit mom in police standoff

Detroit— A judge Monday dismissed criminal charges against Maryanne Godboldo, the Detroit mother involved in a March confrontation with police and Child Protective Services over her refusal to give her daughter a prescribed anti-psychotic medication.

The Wayne County Prosecutor's office will determine if an appeal will be taken to the Circuit Court regarding today's dismissal by 36th District Judge Ronald Giles, said Maria Miller, assistant prosecuting attorney.

Godboldo, 56, had been charged with discharge of a weapon, three counts of felonious assault, resisting and obstructing an officer, and a felony firearm count.

Godboldo was involved in a standoff March 24 when Child Protective Services authorities and Detroit Police came to remove the 13-year-old girl from the home. Authorities said she fired a handgun when police tried to kick open a door into the kitchen of the home on Blaine.

A Wayne County juvenile court jury heard about two weeks of testimony this month and found Godboldo was guilty of one count of neglect. The neglect charges stemmed from Godboldo's decision to stop giving her daughter the prescribed drug Risperdal, a controversial medication used to treat schizophrenia.

A judge is expected Sept. 29 to examine the custody issue and the child's medical treatment. The girl continues to live with an aunt; Godboldo has visitation rights.
