A Tale of Two Children

[BellyBelly]

Um, the children were in foster care when they suffered abuse... and the AMA etc DOESNT spread propaganda? You're very one sided yourself there.

Anyway, the head of scan team who initially made the accusation and got this family charged with GBH, stated that the baby had multiple fractures and broken ribs. It was only upon cross-examination that it was discovered that no x-rays had ever been taken of this baby so the accusations of fractures had no basis in fact.

There you go! Thats the 'other side'.

this really bugs me - these parents have been CLEARED, after 2.5 years, of abusing the child. DoCS are now saying that if they don't vaccinate their child, they will not have it returned.

what happened to the parents right to choose??? irrespective of what FACTS might be publicly available, obviously a LOT of information has been provided to the courts that cleared the parents, and now they're trying to force medical treatment that the parents deem to be potentially harmful onto their child! yes, vaccines might work, but this child had complications FOLLOWING an immunisation. whether there was a direct link to that immunisation, or whether it was related to the child being premature, the parents believe it was linked, and have EVERY RIGHT to sign a bloody conscientious objection form so that their child is not immunised

i can't believe how much DoCS are fixating on this case given the parents have been EXONERATED !! yeah, it's fundraising - and if i could afford to, i'd help. NO ONE should be FORCED to immunise their child - screw DoCS - they need to go and focus on the cases that ARE slipping through the cracks, and BACK OFF on immunisation! it's a choice, simple.



i would like to add - i have NOT made a decision as to whether our children will be immunised - but I don't believe ANY parent should be forced to do something that they are obviously very uncomfortable with.

Just quickly because I'm running out.......Lucy, if you've been following it, could you email me some info?

I was talking about the original abuse where they said the baby was shaken. Sad that the foster system has abusers in it, but that's not what I was talking about.

Actually, google vaccination and it's mainly anti-vac sites. I was just wanting some further info on the case as a whole.

I'm not one sided, I like fairness. K hasn't had the MMR, I do this out of an informed choice, I just hate propaganda no matter which way it goes.
