WAXAHACHIE, Texas — A former paramedic who lost custody of her kids because of allegations of medical child abuse was hired by a Waxahachie hospital in April.

A year ago this month, an Ellis County jury terminated Susan Hyde’s parental rights for her three daughters. The girls, now ages 9, 7 and 5, had more than 150 emergency room visits in four years and were treated for afflictions including cerebral palsy, seizures and cystic fibrosis.

A pediatrician testified in the monthlong Child Protective Services civil trial that the girls weren’t sick at all.
