The Issue

Reunite Baby Mahad with His Parents

Baby Mahad, the child of Somali American parents, is in critical condition and needs the comfort and support of his family during this difficult time. Although a juvenile court has ruled that his mother did not harm him, her access to her child remains limited.

We respectfully call on Governor Mike DeWine, Franklin County Children Services, the Franklin County Prosecutor’s Office, and Ohio elected officials to review and investigate this case thoroughly to ensure that Baby Mahad’s best interests are at the center of all decisions.

Every child deserves the presence of their parents when facing serious medical challenges.

Sign this petition to urge leaders to take timely, compassionate action so Baby Mahad can receive the care and love of his family.
