Gsnaps Radio is back like we never left!!!! Coming with Banger after Banger 

DONT MISS THIS SHOW! WITH ALL THATS GOING ON IN THE WORLD THIS STROY IS A MUST HEAR!!!

For twenty-five years America has known the case of “Baby Byron”.  Byron’s biological mother,
a woman with a history of drug use and prostitution, left him at the hospital just a few hours after
he was born. He was placed into the temporary care of a white suburban couple named Karen
and Michael Derzack. Over a year later, according to the Derzack’s, police came into home, took
Byron, and returned him to his biological mother because the agency said, “We put black babies
with black families”. But after a few months, Byron was returned to the Derzack’s because his
mother was arrested again for drug use.

This series of events received national attention from the NAACP, the ACLU, the state Supreme
Court, and the federal court system. The case created countless newspaper articles, a book, and a
new Pennsylvania bill about abandoned babies. Byron and his family made guest appearances on
CNN, The Montel Williams Show, Ricki Lake, and it is believed the movie Losing Isaiah starring
Halle Berry, Samuel L. Jackson, and Cuba Gooding Jr. was inspired by Baby Byron’s case. After
this media frenzy, Byron was taken from the Derzack’s again and permanently placed with black
foster parents.
