Under new law, state can’t take kids away solely for parental cannabis use

A single mother of six, Ms. B worked hard to change the circumstances that cost her the custody of her children. Her kids desperately wanted to return to their mom, her attorney Natasha Khalfani testified in the Maryland General Assembly in 2022, not revealing her client’s name. Three of the children were being cared for by their father, while the oldest three were placed in foster care. The case stalled for years in court, long after Ms. B was deemed fit to regain custody.
