Larry Birkhead files Paternity Suit against Anna Nicole

[Kelly]

If Anna was taking prescribed methadone and no illegal drugs (or abusing scripts), Larry Birkhead could not get custody based on just that. I also highly doubt that the baby was released from the hospital four days after her birth, if she was born addicted to methadone. The baby would have to be detoxed and monitered for withdrawal symptoms which might not even appear for 24/48 hours or so after her birth. (depending on when/if Anna took a prescribed dose the day Dannie Lynn was born) I have some experience with methadone addicted babies and I have never seen one be released from the hospital at three or four days old. Even if the baby has mild symptoms, they are usually observed for longer than a few days. They must meet certain criteria for a period of at least 24 hours before they are considered for discharge. (in the US) I highly doubt the pediatrician would discharge DannieLynn if she was withdrawling and required meds to ease her symptoms.....nor do I think Anna or her hired help could handle her at home.

I am a bit suspicious of the way HK Stern went on Larry and declared his paternity and if LB is indeed the birth father, he should fight for his rights.
