What state are you in? Family law is different in all 50. It's a little fuzzy from the facts, but I take it that you were initially awarded custody post a divorce? Did the dad sue to get the custody changed or did the state take it 100% on itself to do this? It makes a big difference. State can "factor" in all sorts of crap under a "best interest of the child" standard when awarding custody to one parent or another that wouldn't pass muster a "unfit parent" standard used to take a child and put him in foster care.
I'm not up on the particulars of vaccine law, but the "You can't get an exemption unless you belong to one of two religions" doesn't pass the smell test. Personal faith is an individual right, not a right that you "earn" by being part of some particular "group".
Emailing Alex Jones is a waste of time. He simply gets too many emails. If you want on the show you need to call in. Some days it's easy to get in, other days it's not so easy.
Last point. Check your local law school. Most have legal clinics that can help with this sort of thing.
Hello, jmdrake and welcome to the thread. I'm in Missouri.
My son is nine years old and has been with me since birth, the dad and I were never married.
The ONLY reason a guardian was appointed was because my son is not vaccinated. I was accused and found guilty of medical neglect for not vaccinating. While I understand the "best interest of the child" theory, for the court to claim it is contrary to my son's best interest to refuse vaccinations, then everyone who opposes vaccinations is at risk for a court to take their children from them. Why would the Supreme Court rule that the parents have a Constitutional right if the Supreme Court thought that it was in violation of a child's best interest?
For those who might think that the father might have a right to vaccinate, he had a legal right at any time to take my son and vaccinate him and he had NINE years to do it. He did not need a court order.
The court could have also ruled that my son be vaccinated without taking him away from me. For those who think that I am a bad mother and there were other reasons I am not disclosing, you are wrong. I have two older sons who both graduated high school (one with a 4.0 GPA) and went on to college which I alone paid for.
Again, if the court was looking out for the best interest of the child, would they take him away from a mother with no criminal record or history of alcohol and/or drug abuse and give him to a father that is a documented alcohlic?
Dad has been in in-patient alcohol rehab at least three times, he was evicted from a half way house for alcohlics, he pled guilty to assault on a Police officer and served jail time and also violated his probation.
He also was charged with vandalizing my exhusband's car (the father of my two oldest children). My exhusband had his car finger printed and guess whose prints the found? How did they know whose prints they were? Because of his criminal record. I didn't date for eight years after the birth of my son, but low and behold the second guy I dated had his car vandalized on his property by someone who didn't know him well enough to know what a gun fanatic he was. (The first guy I dated had a four car garage so I guess he wasn't an accessible target).
So the "best interest of the child" scenario does not ring true. My attorney said that I was railroaded.
