Fwd:Intro from Tina

[Guest guest]

>Hi,

>

>My name is Tina & my children are iel 9, Olivia 7 & Madeleine 5.

Nate

>has the most vaccines, Olivia less & Madeleine even less. It has taken

me

>this long to make the decision to not vaccinate my children.

>

>When Nate was 5 yrs. old we took him to the local hospital because he

was

>having a difficult time breathing. They asked what was wrong & we

explained.

>Then they asked if he was current on his vaccinations? Being the

person I was

>then I said that we had chosen not to vaccinate our son any further &

that he

>was current for kindergarden. They then told us to go to the waiting

area &

>they would call us when ready. They called our name & the nurse said

that she

>had called DCFS (Department of Children & Family Services - Chicago).

I asked

>why & she said that it was a requirement due to the fact that I wasn't

going

>to vaccinate our child any further. I asked what that would do & she

said

>they would call me tomorrow & make a report. I went back to the

waiting room

>MAD AS HELL. We waited because we were deeply concerned for our son.

We were

>finally called & they wanted to do tests & x-rays & we decided to sign

him out

>AMA (Against Medical Advice).

>

>The next day he was still sick & was home from school, my daughter

Olivia was

>taken to pre-school by my mother Madeleine was finally sleeping. I was

just

>settling down on the couch. With the laudry piled high, dishes in the

sink &

>a book on the table titled Taming the Monster in Your Child. I noticed

a car

>pull up & a man get out - very official looking - I knew immediately

that it

>was someone from DCFS. I went & locked the back door & I went & met

him on

>the front porch. Niceities were exchanged & he wondered if I knew why

he was

>here & I said yes that the hospital told us that someone would contact

us. He

>then asked if he could come in my home & observe my child. I said no.

He

>asked me why & then I aksed him if he was a doctor. He replied no. He

said I

>can call the police & they will let me in. Back & forth back & forth.

He

>also asked me if I was planning on having anymore children, he asked if

I was

>under phyciatric evaluation. I absolutely refused him entry to my

home. He

>did call the police I called my husband, we let the police officer in.

He

>told us he was going to get my child from school. They would be placed

in

>foster care & be vaccinated. We did produce the exemption from I used

for

>scool & did agree to look this up & get back with us. He contacted our

>doctors. He did not get our daughter from school. We had to hire an

attorney

>to expunge our DCFS record. I was ready to leave the country.

>

>That is my story. I am not a big advocate of not vaccinating your

children

>and sorry I ever did. Information is the key.
