www.thegoldreport.com Two Massachusetts parents who refused to vaccinate their children were reported to the state and have now been charged with kidnapping their own children.
Isael Rivera and his girlfriend, Ruth Encarnacion, are religious parents who homeschool their five children and oppose vaccinations, both for religious reasons and over health concerns. When they refused to vaccinate their nine-month-old baby, their pediatrician, Dr. Behzad Goharfar, reported them to the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF) for neglect.
The DCF launched an investigation into the family. After being contacted by DCF agents, Rivera and his wife decided to flee to Texas with their children, the oldest of whom is 10, before DCF operatives could seize them. They were located days later in Whitney, Texas, and sent back to Fitchburg, Massachusetts, where they were charged with kidnapping. The judge entered a not-guilty plea for Rivera, who is being held on $25,000 bail. According to a GiveSendGo fundraiser set up by Isaac Rivera, Encarnacion is being held on $7,500 bail.
