State Kidnaps Kids Over Vaccine Status
Why every state needs to go to the mats in the fight for health freedom
This is nuts…
Massachusetts tore five children from a homeschooling family’s arms for one reason:
Because they refused to vaccinate their infant.
This isn’t "overreach."
It’s a ruthless assault on parental rights and personal freedom. Snitched on by a pediatrician and harassed by police and the Department of Children and Families, the family fled to Texas to escape persecution.
This type of tyranny is why, in my first term as an Idaho state legislator in 2023, I poured my heart into S1029 (my very first bill). And in just six weeks, I pushed it through and got it signed into law.
Enter the critics:
“There’s no need for this.”
"This is a solution looking for a problem."
"Idaho doesn't need this bill!"
Yet I still got it pushed through and signed into law.
So now, in Idaho, because of S1029, no Idahoan faces discrimination based on their child's vaccine status.
CPS cannot initiate an investigation or determine parental rights based on your child's vaccine status.
Your health choices are your business, not the government's.
No government should ever steal children over private medical choices.
The scene unfolding in MA proves that we should continue to stand for liberty, protect families, and lock out overzealous bureaucrats who want our kids.
Idaho’s leading the charge (especially with the wins from the 2025 session).
Let's keep our foot on the gas.
People don't take medical freedom seriously enough -- even in Idaho. The "we don't need it" attitude is pervasive among many legislators and even citizens who take such freedom for granted...until THEIR freedom or their kids' freedom is threatened.

This scenario repeats over and over again throughout our “child protective” country. Vaxxed / Unvaxxed (even if unstated) is a common reason for medical kidnapping. So are home schooling, angry exes, and good parents’ failure to bow to mainstream edicts regarding their lifestyle.
Here are just two examples of what happens when a powerful CPS, police state, hospital, and “legal system” are out of control. These are NOT isolated cases.
Compassionate people should be angry and heartbroken — children ripped from loving parents, families destroyed — often following unwarranted accusations and rush to judgment, as below.

We MUST NOT let such abuse continue in the name of “protecting children.”
We certainly cannot stop it by expanding CPS power and personnel (see SA comment here https://brianlenney.substack.com/p/state-kidnaps-kids-over-vaccine-status/comment/108713001).
We can and must do better as a state and as a nation.
