A Michigan mother who spent five days in jail for refusing to vaccinate her son says she’s outraged and devastated to find out the boy has been fully immunized now.
Rebecca Bredow of Ferndale was ordered by the Oakland County Circuit Court to vaccinate her 9-year-old son at the request of the boy’s biological father, James Horne. When Bredow did not have the child receive the proper shots as she reportedly agreed to do as part of a November 2016 court case, Judge Karen McDonald found the 40-year-old in contempt of court and sentenced her to a week in the Oakland County Jail.
Michigan is one of 17 states that allows for medical, religious, and philosophical exemptions from vaccines.
Rebecca Bredow told reporters that her decision to not vaccinate her child was part of her religious beliefs and she believes it was within her rights as the boy’s mother to choose what kind of care he should have. “I still stand by my choices because I stand up for what I believe in,” Bredow added.
Mom changed her mind after she first agreed to vaccinate. Too bad a signature on a custody order is binding.
I guess the bio dad's opinion trumps mom's in this matter.
Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
Not quite the same situation. Did you sign a legal agreement? A contract?
If I am having consensual sex with a woman, and she tell me to stop, I have to do so.

I personally think that she just had really bad legal advice. There were ways around this that simply were not employed.

The story didn't go into a rape scenario.
Something doesn't add up if she can still say no to a court order but still was found in contempt. Plus it sounds like the 50/50 custody was a change from her having 100% custody. Bad day for her. Wonder if we will be hearing an appeal?

Does nobody find it ironic that a woman may terminate a pregnancy without her husband's consent, but an ex-husband may force a child to be vaccinated without his mother's consent?
Second line.
