a woman named mi minut named mindy, set for a psychological evaluation and at that point they took the child away from her. later on things settled down she was found to be fine, no issues, judges, evaluators found she could take care of the kids, but the daughter was never returned to her, in fact she will never get the daughter back now, a theory called predictive neglect. >> that's right. about 30 states have laws on the books that say that if a parent is deemed to be mentally disabled to the point that they are unlikely to be able to safely take care of their ced, the state can severe parental rights -- sever parental rights between the parent and the kids. that makes sense, if the parent can't take care of themselves they probably can't take care of a child. but i found in the course of my reporting, that in many cases children are being removed from parents and then parental rights are being terminated, not on the basis that a child has been actually harmed but on a prediction what that mental illness might mean in the future. >> and in mindy's case, she had another child and was

meanwhile the state of missouri says it won't returned mindy's daughter to her, her daughter has now been adopted, this is all on the basis of this prediction that because of an old mental health diagnosis she poses some sort of danger. >> there is some correlation between the higher risk of abuse of children from people who have mental health diagnosis and people who don't. >> certainly, mental health issues, child neglect and abuse certainly correlate at times. there are many things that correlate with higher rates of abuse and neglect. the question is, does that mean that that person is going to pose a danger to their child? the way that's valuated, the process under which the courts are making that determination, tends to be rather flawed and shallow process. >> in mindy's case, one of the judges said, she made some odd faces in his courtroom and that was enough for him to confirm the bad things about her. >> things seen all the time, that judges and child welfare agencies look at anything the person does strange. that is the sign they are crazy, too crazy to be parenting a child
