🚨 HEARTBREAKING: Massachusetts just kidnapped 5 children from parents who refused to vaccinate their 9-month-old baby.

When the parents fled the state to protect their family, they were ARRESTED.

This is one of the darkest stories of the year.

THREAD 🧵

1/ Isael Rivera and Ruth Encarnacion are homeschooling parents of five.

They told their pediatrician they were skipping vaccines for their baby.

They cited religious reasons.

Days later, DCF showed up at their door.

Their crime? 👇

2/ Medical autonomy.

After a pushy confrontation with their pediatrician, Dr. Behzad Goharfar, the parents decided to switch to a new family doctor.

Unfortunately, that didn’t go over well.

3/ On their final visit, Goharfar, who trained in Iran, allegedly threatened them:

Vaccinate the baby immediately, or he would report them to DCF with a 51A.

4/ After initial contact with DCF, the Riveras made the choice to leave Massachusetts for Texas, fearing for their children’s safety.

Why?

They knew what was coming, and they didn’t trust a system that treats religious objections like crimes.

5/ Unfortunately, instead of protection, they were met with a manhunt.

An Amber Alert was issued, alongside charges of kidnapping and media smear campaigns.

6/ The real shocker? The Riveras were completely denied due process.

The judge rubber-stamped a Care and Protection Order without a hearing, without evidence, and without even notifying the parents.

7/ The couple was “caught” in Texas last month for daring to protect their children.

They were dragged back to Massachusetts in handcuffs.

8/ Ruth now faces jail time, and the baby remains under supervised visitation.

Meanwhile, Dr. Goharfar continues practicing medicine without facing any consequences for his role in this state-sponsored trauma.

9/ The situation has turned into a complete nightmare scenario for these loving parents:

Disagree with the vaccine?
Lose your kids.

Refuse on religious grounds?
Go to jail.

Try to escape?
Get hunted down.

10/ If you think this ends in Massachusetts, you’re not paying attention.

This is a warning shot.
A test case.

And it’s just the beginning 👇

11/ There’s a reason Big Pharma lobbies DCF.

There’s a reason “public health” has become a weapon.

And there’s a reason more parents are afraid to speak out.

Because the state is no longer asking:

It’s taking.

12/ The Riveras’ case is gaining national attention, and we are about to set a major precedent for parental rights - or lack thereof.

Will we allow the government to steal our kids?

13/ You don’t have to be a parent to care.

You just have to be awake.

In 2025, Authoritarianism is allowed.

As long as it’s dressed in a lab coat.

HELP the Rivera family gain national awareness.
