Question presented
Whether removal of a child from parent's custody without a judicial order or a warrant, and in the absence of exigent circumstances, violate Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights guaranteed by the constitution? Whether the Rooker Feldman doctrine was improperly applied to due process claims when the petitioner alleges fraud by the defendans, leading to violations of constitutional magnitude that affected liberty rights of the Petitioner.
