令人心碎💔突发新闻！五名菲奇堡儿童的父母因保护婴儿不接种疫苗而被捕。

马萨诸塞州又一个家庭被政府的铁腕拆散。这一次，是来自菲奇堡的一个七口之家，他们被赶出家门，越过州界来到德克萨斯州，被儿童和家庭部 (DCF) 和当地警察像罪犯一样追捕。他们犯了什么罪？他们坚守上帝赋予的父母权利，拒绝给健康的九个月大婴儿接种疫苗，理由是他们根深蒂固的宗教信仰。

父母伊萨埃尔·“伊兹”·里维拉和他的妻子露丝·恩卡纳西翁向儿科医生明确表示，给他们茁壮成长的婴儿接种疫苗违背了他们的信仰——这是马萨诸塞州法律通过宗教豁免赋予的权利。但医生不但没有尊重他们的选择，反而受到该州强制报告的约束，威胁要让儿童家庭服务部来对付他们。事情果然发生了。

据报道，伊兹·里维拉告诉一位帮助该家庭在德克萨斯州避难的倡导者：“医生说如果我们不接种疫苗，他就得举报我们。”即使有一个吃得好、照顾得好的婴儿，儿童家庭服务部也不在乎事实——他们在这家人的门上贴了一张通知，要求进入。里维拉一家知道自己的权利，拒绝了。这时，州政府开始展示其力量。

菲奇堡警察和儿童家庭服务部蜂拥而至，敲门搜查了房子半个小时。“她和五个孩子躲在壁橱里，”这位勇敢的人回忆道，他在社交媒体上了解到他们的困境后挺身而出，帮助这个家庭度过了痛苦的三周磨难。这家人告诉她，第二天，当他们大批人回来时，里维拉躲了起来，而他的妻子和孩子则逃离了波士顿西北一小时车程的小城市。

随后，他们绝望地逃往德克萨斯州，历时三天，在支持者的鼓励下，她用自己的钱租了 Airbnb 民宿，买了食物和生活用品，以维持这个家庭的完整。“他们感觉自己像罪犯一样被追捕，”她说。“医生告诉医生，接种疫苗违反他们的宗教信仰，但这并不重要。”

这位好心人把这个七口之家安置在一辆房车里，看着他们身上散发出爱和奉献的光芒。“他是个好人，不暴力，也不虐待，”她宣称，驳斥了州政府对里维拉的家庭暴力指控。“他所做的一切都是为了他的孩子。”

但马萨诸塞州官僚机构的长臂并不局限于州界。3 月 8 日，德克萨斯州当局在海湾州领主的通报下，突袭了该家庭的藏身处。根据 Airbnb 房东的描述，“警察到处喊着‘举起手来’”。父母被戴上手铐，被指控“家庭绑架”，他们的五个孩子被儿童保护服务机构 (CPS) 带走。他们是在德克萨斯州寄养吗？还是被送回马萨诸塞州的 DCF？目前还没有人说。

“这是对多个层面基本权利的公然侵犯，” http://t.cn/A6rxAfeh的宪法策略师 Ron Bouchard 怒斥道。“什么是家庭绑架？一个家庭有权带着他们的孩子旅行。他们是如何、为何被报告失踪的，谁报告的？他们违反了什么法律，存在什么迫在眉睫的危险，以证明儿童家庭服务部和菲奇堡警察局采取激烈行动是正当的？”

愤怒还不止于此。布沙尔指出，马萨诸塞州宪法（1780 年）第一部分第二条规定：“任何人不得因以最符合其良心的方式和时间崇拜上帝而在其人身、自由或财产上受到伤害、骚扰或限制。”告诉里维拉一家，他们现在因州政府的愤怒而四分五裂。

HEARTBREAKING 💔 BREAKING NEWS! The parents of five Fitchburg children have been arrested for protecting their infant from being vaccinated.

Yet another Massachusetts family has been torn apart by the iron fist of the state. This time, it’s a homeschooling family of seven from Fitchburg, driven out of their home and across state lines to Texas, hunted like criminals by the Department of Children and Families (DCF) and local police. Their supposed crime? Standing firm on their God-given parental rights and refusing to vaccinate their healthy nine-month-old baby, citing deeply held religious beliefs.

The parents, Isael “Izzy” Rivera and his wife, Ruth Encarnacion, made it clear to their pediatrician that jabbing their thriving infant with vaccines went against their faith—a right enshrined in Massachusetts law through religious exemptions. But instead of respecting their choice, the doctor, bound by the state’s mandatory reporting leash, threatened to sic DCF on them. And that’s exactly what happened.

“The doctor said if we didn’t vaccinate, he’d have to report us,” Izzy Rivera reportedly told an advocate who helped shelter the family in Texas. Even with a well-fed, well-cared-for baby, DCF didn’t care about facts—they slapped a notice on the family’s door, demanding entry. The Riveras, knowing their rights, said no. That’s when the state flexed its muscle.

Fitchburg police and DCF swarmed their apartment, pounding on doors and prowling the property for half an hour. “She hid in the closet with her five children,” recounted the brave soul who stepped up to help the family through a harrowing three-week ordeal after learning about their plight on social media. The family told her that the next day when they returned in greater numbers, Rivera hid while his wife and kids bolted from the small city an hour northwest of Boston.

What followed was a desperate, three-day exodus to Texas, fueled by their advocate’s grit—and her own money for an Airbnb, food, and supplies to keep this family intact. “They felt like they were being pursued like criminals,” she said. “He told the doctor it was against their religion to vaccinate, but it didn’t matter.”

The good samaritan bunked the family of seven in an RV, watching their love and dedication shine through. “He’s a good man, not violent or abusive,” she declared, dismissing the state’s domestic violence accusations against Rivera. “He’s doing what he believes is best for his children.”

But the long arm of Massachusetts bureaucracy doesn’t stop at state lines. On March 8th, Texas authorities, tipped off by their Bay State overlords, descended on the family’s hideout. “Police were everywhere, yelling ‘come out with your hands up,’” according to the Airbnb host’s account. The parents were cuffed, slapped with “familial kidnapping” charges, and their five kids were ripped away by Child Protective Services (CPS). Are they in Texas foster care? Shipped back to DCF in Massachusetts? No one’s saying—yet.

“This is a blatant violation of fundamental rights on multiple levels,” thundered Ron Bouchard, Constitutional Law Strategist with http://t.cn/A6rxAfgs “What is familial kidnapping? A family has the right to travel with their children. How and why have they been reported missing, and by whom? What laws have they broken and what imminent danger exists to justify the drastic action of DCF and the Fitchburg Police Department?”

The outrage doesn’t stop there. Bouchard pointed to the Massachusetts Constitution (1780), Part the First, Article II, which declares: “No subject shall be hurt, molested or restrained in his person, liberty or estate for worshipping GOD in the manner and season most agreeable to his own conscience.” Tell that to the Rivera family, now scattered and broken by the state’s wrath.
