‘American Idol’ Contestant Has Second Child Taken From Her By Authorities
The Manatee County Sheriff’s Office said hospital staff offered to give the toddler a B-12 intramuscular shot, however, Mercado rejected it. The couple, however, said that’s not true.
The singer said it was challenging transitioning her son from breastfeeding to eating solid foods, causing him to struggle to gain weight.
“Instead of educating myself and my family and providing us with resources, I was met with a lot of judgment and accusations that literally started to spiral out of control,” she said.
