贝克在田纳西司法系统完全失败后，把案子打到了联邦法院。以下是田纳西司法部长2007年6月在美国联邦法院递交的文件，得到联邦法院的肯定。
“The Supreme Court merely emphasized that any threat of harm emanated not from the Hes but from the system that unlawfully maintained A.M.H. in the Bakers’ custody some six years after she should have been returned to her parents.”
Respectfully submitted, ROBERT E. COOPER, JR. Attorney General and Reporter

在此之前，贝克在田纳西最高法院要求重新听证的时候，我就评论道（2007年2月）：
“Bakers completely miscontrued the TN Supreme Court ruling. From the TN Supreme Court ruling, the only substantial harm AMH would suffer would be caused by Bakers' holding AMH for years while they knew they had no legal right to do so since 2001. Bakers would be responsible for any harm suffered by AMH during the transition. It was the Bakers who prevented AMH's birth parents to maintain a relationship with AMH, while the birth parents were fighting to visit their daughter over the years. The High Court's ruling is clear. Any trauma AMH will suffer will not be caused by her birth parents, but by the Bakers. This distinction is important.” http://www.parentalrightsandjustice.com/index.cgi?ctype=Page;site_id=1;objid=56;curloc=Site:1;ct=1286562757 |
