A judge granted Child Protective Services permission Thursday to temporarily remove a newborn from her mother's care because CPS said she is an unfit mother.
Four of Sylvia Cardenas' nine children have died in the past 20 years, including two killed in a fire in April. The fire is under investigation.
"I am going to keep having children until (Child Protective Services) lets me keep one to raise," Cardenas is quoted in the affidavit as having told her physician, the San Angelo Standard-Times reported in its Friday editions.
The circumstances of the fire and a refusal to seek treatment for depression make Cardenas a potential danger to her child, CPS caseworker Lynn McFadden wrote in the affidavit.
"Ms. Cardenas has a pattern of children dying in her care," McFadden wrote. "The only children of Ms. Cardenas that are still living," the affidavit states, "are those who are not in her care."
