Michigan mom says she could face jail time for not vaccinating her son
By ABC NEWS Sep 29, 2017, 9:48 AM ET

Rebecca Bredow, of the Detroit area, told ABC News that she would "absolutely" rather go to jail than vaccinate her son.

“I would rather go to jail for standing up for what I believe in than vaccinating my child,” Bredow said, adding she believes the decision to vaccinate your child is a “personal choice.”

"God forbid if he were to be injured by a vaccine," Bredow said. "I would have to take care of him."

"It is our position that this case is not truly about vaccinations," Richardson said. "It is a case about Ms. Bredow refusing to comport with any number of the court's orders and actively seeking to frustrate Mr. Horne's joint legal custody rights."

1. More of a custody battle

But still vaccinate your damn kids

[sharedvalues]

2. Send her these

Even Walmart sells them.

3. Anti-vaxxers are pathetic!

I don't think they should be jailed but, in this case, I would not recommend that she continue to disobey a court order.

4. Mom says she could face jail time for NOT feeding son. n/t

[BadgerKid]

5. Oh the irony

Guess she would rather attend to his bedside when he catches a potentially fatal childhood disease.

7. This 'loving mom' is a threat to her poor kids life

[Voltaire2]

6. good.

It is a joint custody issue. The sane parent wants to have the kid vaccinated and the court agrees.

[Aristus]

8. I've kicked anti-vaxxers out of my clinic.

Get 'em vaccinated, or get out.

The Admins weren't too happy about that, but I have a sterling record of positive clinical outcomes, so they had to deal.

9. They are a public health menace

What can you do but try to protect yourself?

[MineralMan]

10. Sounds like an unfit mother to me. Give 100% custody of the child

to the father. Custody decisions should always be in the best interests of the child in question. Period.

[workinclasszero]

12. Totally agree

No question that the court has to act in best interests of the child.

[mythology]

11. Excellent. Being a scientifically illiterate idiot should be painful

[WhiskeyGrinder]

13. "I would have to take care of him."

Yeah? And?

[Vinca]

14. If that's what it takes to stop her unvaccinated kid from infecting other kids . . .
