When Christina takes her daughter to school every single day, she had no idea she was putting her little girl, Emily, in horrible danger.
That's because she's always been taking Emily to school this way for as long as she can remember. Since she was born with spina bifida, a birth defect where some of the spine forms outside of the body, Christina has lived her whole life in a wheelchair.
She even had her wheelchair upgraded with a specially made foldout chair that had a seatbelt attached, simply so her little girl could be safe.
Family services doesn't seem to care, and with the urging of the girl's father, they're continuing to press the issue.
Christina is devastated and continues to explain how important her child is. "That child is my absolute life," she told news cameras. "I would never let anything happen to her at all."
It also seems that her daughter Emily isn't even allowed to walk beside her mother's wheelchair. Family services says that's even more dangerous for the young girl.
While the government continues to tell Christina how much danger she's putting her daughter in, maybe that money could be better spent somewhere else? What do you think?
Do you think that Christina seems to be able to take care of Emily, or do you think that government agencies would make better parents for this "endangered" girl? Let us know in the comments below!
And please SHARE this story if you think Christina should fight back!
