Mother arrested with gun, after denying child to have innoculations

A mother was arrested after a 10 hour standoff with police in Detroit, after she said she was just trying to protect her 13 year old daughter from unnecessary medication. Last Week, Child Protective Services got involved in the case of 56 year old Maryanne Godboldo, after she barricaded both her and her daughter, inside the home, with a gun, as the workers from DHS tried to serve a warrant to remove the girl because the Godboldo had withheld her medication.

Godboldo faces charges of firing a weapon in a dwelling, felonious assault, resisting and obstructing an officer, and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. Godboldo’s family and supporters say she has the right to make medical decisions for her daughter and that child welfare workers exceeded their authority. The daughter was originally home schooled, but wanted to attend a middle school, but her vaccinations weren’t up to date.

“We believe she had an adverse reaction to her immunizations,” Maryanne’s sister Penny Godboldo said.

So Godboldo seeked help from The Children’s Center, an organization that helps families with at-risk children, where a medical and mental health treatment plan was prescribed. Godboldo told relatives medications ordered by a doctor worsened symptoms, including behavioral problems.

“Maryanne’s decision to wean her from that was making a difference, making her better, helping her to be a happy kid again,” Mubuarak Hakim, the girl’s father, said.

A preliminary hearing has been set for April 8. Remember when we as kids had what, maybe 8 shots at most? Now look at what they shove off on parents. Is it any wonder there are so many reactions now? If a child has a reaction, since when does anyone have the right to override a parent anyway? The name of the game is money – these drug companies pocket it all, no matter what the risk to our kids. The basic shots, yes, but not push off all of these others. And good for parents who now question the validity and needance them all. Over vaccination, has been documented, but no one seems to care or even listen anymore.
