- A sobbing 6-year-old girl was pulled from the arms of her foster parents and bundled off to extended relatives because she is 1.5 percent Native American. The child was removed in accordance with a federal law designed to protect Native American children. Lexi will be sent to live with extended Choctaw family members in Utah, authorities said. Foster parents Rusty and Summer Page vowed to get the girl back, saying they love their daughter and have been caring for her since she was a toddler. #InsideEdition

If she had relatives that wanted to take care of her and could, WHY WOULD THE PUT HER ON ADOPTION!?!?!?
Child was never available for adoption. That is what they were arguing about, for the court to order the state to forcably make her available for adoption and solely to them. There is a reason every court and judge that heard this case found that they had failed in their duties and obligations to the child as foster parents snd why CA2DCOA envoked SCOTUS ruling on estoppel in custody proceeding; you cannot create a ground and then claim that ground as the basis of your argument.
Pat Na literally no one cares about ur 6 story paragraph
She wasn't put up for adoption. Just because she was adored by her foster parents that doesn't mean her family didn't fight tooth and nail trying to get her back. Cps is notorious for taking kids for no reason.
They didn't. She was *_temporarily_* put in foster care and was NOT available for adoption except by family. *The foster parents withheld her for four years. They have political motives to overturn ICWA laws that protect native families* from being torn apart. This is their second child that they tried to do this with. Darn adoptoraptors! Predatory adopters who kidnap kids for their own gain. 🙄
Exactly
If she had relatives willing to raise her, why did they not raise her in the first place?
She was put in foster care temporarily for legal reasons. Then these adoptive parents, knowing she was NOT available to them, withheld her for four years from her loving family. They inflicted a lot of trauma on an innocent child for their own selfish reasons.
susanne anique Calling your bluff. Foster parents have no say if the state wants to remove a foster child from their care. LITERALLY NO SAY WHATSOEVER.
susanne anique this is Not True! They can’t even withheld her because the government would then forcefully take her as soon as they would Withheld so stop spreading misinformation
Michael Meroborn FR tho
@@questionmarkoverload I found this and I hope it's true. It says she's with her biological sisters and paternal family members who she knew through Skype etc. No less traumatic for all concerned however. www.adoptionbirthmothers.com/the-drama-and-facts-in-the-battle-over-little-lexi/
What matters most isn't the heritage or race, it's whether that child will be put in a safe, happy and healthy home. The foster care system fails allot of children, many get raped, abused, neglected, used for their checks, etc. This foster family is very caring I hope this doesn't happen again.
@Pottsville Fire Department Indeed.
@Pottsville Fire Department Amen
Foster care is like a big asylum
The thing is that in this case, the foster family is in the wrong
The goal of foster care is always reunification, she’s being successfully reunified with bio family
Child services when the child is actually being abused: *”M e h”*
Child services when litteraly nothing is happening: “CALL THE NATIONAL GUARD DAMIT!”
that's everything in life
Ikr so true
Lies again? Bad Parents
Modern Racism
Girl is going to grow up hating native americans now. Shes only 1% and she is gunna be very confused why natives took her
why would they take her away
crybxby I can agree with that
Super man fly into rings
Uhhhh, ok
Me too
Ikr period
If she had family willing to raise her then why did they allow her to join a foster family in the first place?
Mimileaks2 they probably thought she didn’t have any other .
Mimileaks2 she should still be with her foster family regardless . They love her and she loves them and wanted to stay with them
The family probably didn't know about her until after she got adopted.
@@liamileson8567 She should and at the end they said they knew she had family willing to raise her yet waited 4 years too late, the poor girl was devastated...I feel so bad for her.
They probably didn’t know or weren’t allowed until later to take their child back to her family
Damn it's so sad even her step sibling were crying. Just goes to show how close this family was.
The whole town was in tears, I've never seen this before.
I hope Lexi got back with her *real* family.

I agree. If the child is safe to stay it should be the childs choice not the government.
I never stopped thinking about Lexi and I still look for updates. This story had such an impact on so many lives.
have you found any updates? i would love to see some. this poor girl💔
This is why ppl should always hear the other side of the story. Apparently Lexi bio mom gave her up but the bio Dad, her paternal grandparents, and aunt wanted her. The courts placed her in foster care until they got the family issues resolved. Then when the court came to a conclusion the foster parents wanted to adopt her. KNOWING very well that this day was coming and that they never prepared her for this. Now I see those parents as kidnappers more than a loving family.
Exactly, any good foster parent would've prepared her for that reality, and not have scared her. They obviously made this as traumatic as possible, they knew full well this was a reality when they decided to be foster parents
How when the father and his family wanted her?
The screams of the other siblings made me tear up. 😖😭
Yes me to it so deviating Tha the they would even think about something like this It is so cruel those people who thought about doing that should go to hell

I personally think that if she DID NOT want to go back to her relatives they shouldn't have forced her to be with somebody she doesn't want to be with!
Exactly
+Sierrah Sommer How do YOU know she DIDN'T want to go back? Did she say that in the video?

It’s been 8 years! I wonder how Lexi is doing now!
It made me heartbroken when the children were screaming and crying and the mother yelled,
“I love you lexi!”
wow this neighborhood sticks together, like when the child was taken away, it was a loss for everyone
I know! 😭
wow it's buitiful how this neighborhood sticks together...
1.5 what that cruel the parents who loved her for four years then bam have new parents if that was my child I was l peeled give them money so I can keep my child
child services step in when things are perfectly fine
IKR
So fucking true.
perfectly said
Exactly
I know
I wish there was an update for all involved. I've never forgotten this horrible situation.
Same! I hope Lexi is doing alright after what has happened to her😭
This exact thing happened to a high school friend of mine, they had 3 children taken away and sent up north (North island of NZ) to family they'd never met because cyfs decided Māori children should be placed with their extended whanau (family). This isn't about what's best for the child, it about the adults being selfish, I have a step sister who has been in foster care since she was born and it'd be cruel to take her away from the only family she's ever known.
The fact that not only the family was there, but the whole ass neighborhood and more were too??? That shows how good of a family and home she was in, how happy she was...
She's lucky to live in a neighborhood like that. I think that neighborhood should pitch in and hire few lawyers against the state to have Lexi back.
@@okamijubei Right.
In what way is a whole neighbourhood going outside shoving cameras In her face, blocking the streets, screaming and chasing the car a good thing? All they did was make things worst and scare the child.
She was in foster care temporarily and was always going back to her family that's how foster care works and the couple knew that
@@jonghun8468 She was with them for over 4 years. Since she was 2. It's still sad and traumatizing for the entire family. The children will all suffer from this trauma into adulthood.
@@missld6856 And she was supposed to go back long before that, but the foster parents kept delaying things and trying to adopt her.
The foster placement was only meant to be for a short time whilst her family members were dealing with the paperwork and going through the proper checks before they were allowed have custody and were having regular contact whilst they were waiting (which is standard an usually a very quick process) but once they did all that the foster parents made things very difficult which delayed what should have been a quick transition and caused her to be away from her family for 4yrs.
The foster family knew from day one she wasn't up for adoption and was meant to go back and were warned repeatedly when they started making things difficult. The whole her being 0.1% had nothing to do with it. That's just the excuse the foster family gave and they were very manipulative and kept a child from her family (a family lexi had said many times she wanted to live with) for 4yrs because of it.
And if you want an update. Lexi is happy and back with her REAL family and REAL siblings and settled in straight away and despite what the foster family did. Her REAL family still offered to let them visit her privately and away from the media, but they refused unless they could bring the news crew.
Lexi in a careing family that loves her

Hard to feel bad for a family who knew the baby's family was trying to get custody years ago. Shame it took the courts so long. But they should've explained to the child her family was waiting for her from the moment she could talk. Their selfishness caused that little girl a while lot of unnecessary drama.
I feel so bad for the family that had to go through that 💔
Who’s here in 2018 wishing for an update?
Neyah Nation I've seen a lot of comments saying that she was emotionally abused into wanting to stay with the family I believe, and they were delaying her adoption for four years to keep her as long at they could but I'm not sure 🤔
Neyah Nation right
WHAT KIND OF COMMENT IS THAT!?
Neyah Nation MEEEE
ҡale Yeah that person who keeps saying that is lying, the foster parents weren’t able to keep Lexi but Lexi is adjusting with her biological sister because her biological mom was a drug addict while biological dad made a mistake in stealing. Here’s the article www.dailynews.com/2016/06/10/court-hears-case-of-lexi-foster-child-removed-from-santa-clarita-due-to-choctaw-indian-heritage/
This is racism in a way.
Amber Z I don't understand why it would take years to make this decision just because of her race that's not a good excuse if there was family willing to raise her why would they not be the first people contacted for adoption you can't let somebody move into a family's house get comfortable start calling the mom and dad and then show up and take them because they're different race
Amber Z
No it's discrimination.
+Big Ol Internet Troll I think South Africa has them beat
Amber Z 500th like
Amber Z I agree
This family knew that Lexi was not adoptable by them. They sure made sure that they got the media there and made her departure an absolute circus and traumatized her. I am so happy that she is in Utah with immediate family and her two sisters and is living very happily.
Inside Edition needs to do better background checking before reporting false info.
that was horrific, that was her family for most of her life, no matter what is given to her in the future she will never forget this
When the Dad said “I’m Lexi’s Superman. Superman is going to get her back.”

XxxYandereXxx Girl One, the law they mentioned is incredibly old. Two, this occurred when Obama was president. Three, the relatives followed the law and had rights to Lexi. The foster parents were the ones who were in the wrong.

I pray for that little girl, may she be returned to her family. How shameful, if her relatives were "willing to raise her why didn't they right away. Shame on them for shattering that little girls life.
Bless Lexi and the whole freaking neighbour hood. She deserves better❤️❤️❤️❤️
These people aren’t hurting the girl, she was happy, and you basically took her away. THAT IS JUST WRONG DUDE, NOT COOL.

What most people don't know is native Americans get a certain amount of money from the government per native child. She is nothing more then an extra paycheck for them.
tslmiami that same thing could be said for all families that foster children.
i don't want to be that person but this is what fostering is. it's temporary until they can find their bio family. if anything, the whole neighborhood made this more traumatizing for lexi to remember. yes, i can understand if lexi herself doesn't want to go and it's understandable if she's scared to go like the dad claims, but he should be the "hero" and explain to her that she'll be with her REAL relatives and they will always love her

At least Lexi’s birth sisters get to be with her now. It’s just too bad the foster family delayed it for four years.
Hun Ta she comments but she never gives the source. Dont trust her
Zen Villa Omg... How many times have I given the source on this video? Five times now? My information comes from court documents online. It’s not that hard to fact check me or ask me to provide a source, which I have done every single time someone has asked. I just cannot actually get the link to let me copy paste it, but you can look and find the court documents yourself quite easily. How about you look at other comments and conversations I’ve had with people before saying I ‘don’t give a source’?
I know it was sad 😢 😔
don't worry
One percent native American!? COME ON!!!!
They just want attention. If they really loved this child, they wouldn't put her through all these drama and even inviting the whole neighborhood!! They knew the CPS was coming and acted like they were caught off guard.
I don’t get it. You could clearly tell that they love her and she loves them. They shouldn’t take her away just because she is 1.5% Native American ☹️
It was a foster care case and they were never in the clear to adopt her "the relatives were the plan from the start and the foster parents only delayed it
She was safe in that house, too and that is all that matters
SHe knew the relatives and had visitation with them, the relatives were supposed to have gotten her years ago when she only been there for a short time but the fosters dragged it out. the courts can't change the custody plan just because one of the sides managed to play legal keep away in courts for a extended period of time
So if some one kidnapped a child because they wanted to be a parent and managed to keep the child in the house safe and bonded to them as the only parents she knows you would say that is the only thing that matters?
Okay I know this is a terribly sad moment but I love your pfp
That was horrible!!!! I hope they get their foster daughter back and can officially adopt her.
yes!
Yup
yesss
that's racist
Mason Sebastian how?
Imagine being a foster parent and not preparing your foster child for a transition or doing your best to make it easier and less painful for them and also for your birth children too.
Nevermind what Lexi wants. Nevermind about her safety with people that love her. People that barely know her will decide her fate because her race dictates where she belongs. That's crazy the lines we draw up because they sound good on paper but don't look so go when applied in the real world. I feel sorry for this family and Lexi.
At the part when the dad started talking I started crying
Wanderlust Concepts This was actually not the true story. The law didn’t really apply in this case. The foster family illegally held Lexi against her will for four years then tried to play victim. She knew the relatives very well and wanted to be with them. They also had her birth sisters.

I think what’s messed up is they knew this girl had family and said “no, we wanna keep her”. And now years later this truama happened when they should have given her to her family in the first place
And they say all that matters is the child's health, safety, mental and emotional health ,of that child the mind boggles 🥺😡
IT DOES NOT MATTER IF LEXI IS DIFFERENT AS LONG AS SHE IS WITH A FAMILY, SHE IS ONE OF THEM😣😣
Reunification with the relatives was the plan from the start, The foster family were just delaying the move as long as possible in hopes the courts would use the time they had with her as an excuse to change the plan and allow her to be up for adoption by them
...
The pages knew from the beginning that ICWA and the Utah Relatives applied in the case and the relatives would be the next step if reuniting her with the father was not possible, The reason the Pages were offered to foster her in the first place is because the second foster parents before them backed out of taking care of her after realizing that adoption was not on the table and they didn't want to foster and bond with her just to have her leave the home.

This family seems like an excellent family. They seem to love her very much, and she's got a whole community to have her back there. The reason she was taken away is a joke. This is why the foster system is regarded with such vitriol.
If she had relatives then why was she in foster care?
That's my question.

It was wrong but they might be even better for her now that she is with family

This child was supposed to be placed temporarily while bio family was assessed for placement. Foster family thought they got a cute lil baby without having to pay an adoption fee, so they dragged their feet and withheld this child from her family for 4 years. This was the 2nd time they had pulled this stunt, and they told this poor baby that "bad people" were coming to steal her from them so they could get the most agony and tears out of her for the cameras. Their foster care license was revoked (thankfully). The drama and fanfare in this video was 100% for the adults. Their GoFundMe raised $60,000 even though they had a pro bono attorney. Absolutely shameful.

Lillian Sebalt Native American laws, or laws to protect native Americans. American government messed with Native Americans, so in an attempt to "fix" American government relationship with native Americans, not right this had to happen though
Lillian Sebalt Foster parents, clearly these people should have their foster licences revoked. This child was never up for adoption, they were her foster parents not her adopted parents. Or do you not know the difference. The child is not going to people who complete strangers, her blood family has been attempting to get the child back since she was a toddler and the Paige have played keep away ever since, they haven't known her since she was an infant they didn't have her for that long when her blood family wanted her, they did not have the right to keep her after the blood relatives were already granted rights when Lexi was younger, the family was than force to visit since the Paiges refused to give Lexi to them. They don't deserve to ever foster a child after this. The fact that they were allowed to keep her even after the first time they were told to give her back is amazing. Now that she's older she's gotten attached to these jerks and probably hates her bio family with how they were acting as they had their whole neighborhood bashing the social workers for doing what they should have done years ago, crying and screaming scaring the already confused child.
The fact that they tried to adopt her several times.
He cried no tears? I don't know, I feel like the foster parents were going to far. Like a scene out of a lifetime movie.
agreed
I thought fostering was about finding a loving home, not finding people with the EXACT SAME GENETICS...
Edit:
I'm glad a lot of people agree with me. I want point out, also, that it isn't racist, or even *near* racist, to have a foster child with, say, Indian blood in a family who is white. The whole point of foster care and adoption is to find a loving home for the child in question, not finding someone who has the same DNA or skin color.
I also want to point out that the family members who caused the child to be taken from her loving foster family didn't come out and say they wanted her *before* she was taken into foster care, which is kind of weird if you ask me.
I feel like CPS shouldn't have just whisked her away without question. That's how you'll end up with the child being abused or just mistreated because they're thrown into a random family member's home who ends up not *wanting* to keep the child, and it just dissolves into an endless cycle of the child being bumped from different homes, or suffering.
Even though this case is pretty old, this stuff still happens, and we need to focus on the *child* who is being shifted around like an object rather than a human being who wants a happy family and home.
I know but native Americans fought for this right in 1978. They wanted nothing to do with americans
@@Hecena14 Nice point. Do you also agree every person with a drop of relations to a slave should get a bundle of cash...?
@@thelonelydragon8768 look. All I'm saying is they just wanted to regrow ther population back since the genocide almost succeeded. And I know taking the kid was wrong since she had one percent blood in her but she is with her family now and she is doing fine. But we can't really mess with natives ever since those laws were enforced all those years ago.
I think Lexi should’ve picked
That's what I thought too; damn, were we misinformed.
