Mother might be imprisoned for failing to vaccinate kid

Bredow has been given a week by the County judge to get her son vaccinated and could face jail time if she does not comply. However, the mother of two is firm on her decision to not immunize her child.

"I would rather sit behind bars standing up for what I believe in, than giving in to something I strongly don't believe in," says Bredow.

Before any of the legal battles began, Bredow and Horne had decided to simply space out and delay some of their son's vaccines. However, after educating herself on the studies regarding the dangers of vaccinations, Bredow decided to forgo vaccines altogether. Horne still wanted the immunizations.

In 2016, the court sided with Horne to have the child vaccinated. Because of the court order, Bredow is speaking out about her stand, stating that she feels as though her rights as a parent have been taken away. There is no word on whether Bredow has sought for a waiver, or on how long the jail time could be for Bredow should she refuse to comply.
