- Tiffany Langwell delivered her baby at 2:30 am. The baby was well, and she checked out that afternoon against medical advice. Hospital staff called CPS, describing her behaviour as 'hostile' and 'consistent with someone with substance abuse issues'. A Riverside County CPS worker took the baby the day after she was born. Drug tests then confirmed she had not used drugs in the past month, and the baby was returned a week later.
