Supreme Court Rejects Intervention in Custody Case of Sick Newborn
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The Supreme Court, led by Justice Elena Kagan, declined to intervene in a custody battle involving a newborn with a serious heart condition. McKenna West, the surrogate mother, argued that California violated her due process rights by granting custody to the biological parents, Omar Ahmed and Nausheen Gilkar. West contended that the baby, named Gabriel, may not receive necessary medical care under their custody. A Texas judge previously dismissed her claims, and the Texas Supreme Court allowed the baby to be moved to California for medical treatment. West claims the custody decision should be overturned due to lack of due process and concerns over the baby's health.
