A family who took their 3-month-old son to an emergency room in Waltham, Massachusetts last year at the advice of their pediatrician because the infant had a 103 degree fever, is now suing Waltham police and social workers who came to their home unannounced at 1 a.m. in the morning and forced their way into their home to remove both their 3-month-old baby and his 3-year-old brother, with no warrant, simply because an x-ray taken of the baby a couple of days earlier showed a healed fractured rib in the baby.

That was all it took for local authorities to medically kidnap their children, by forcing their way into the family’s home in the middle of the night and terrorizing the young children by kidnapping them and taking them away from their parents.

The parents were eventually cleared of all charges and their children were returned to them, but now the parents are suing to try and stop this from happening to other families.

This story has received national media attention, and The Pacific Legal Foundation has taken up their case and filed a federal lawsuit.

Alarmed by her three-month-old son’s 103-degree temperature and at the family pediatrician’s urging, graduate student Sarah Perkins brought baby Cal to a hospital emergency room just a few miles from their home in Waltham, Massachusetts. Sarah’s husband Josh Sabey, a documentary filmmaker, stayed home with the couple’s toddler, Clarence.

Doctors at the hospital ordered an X-ray to check the ailing baby for pneumonia. To Sarah’s surprise, the scan revealed a roughly two-week-old, healed fracture on one of Cal’s ribs. That’s when a new nightmare began.

Hospital staff notified the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF), who immediately opened a child abuse investigation. A social worker aggressively interrogated Sarah, who had no idea how her son’s injury happened. After Sarah called home, Josh brought Clarence to the hospital and they too faced DCF’s questions.

Finally, after Sarah and Cal were kept overnight at the hospital, the family was allowed to return home. Although they would be required to check in with DCF in a couple of days, the couple believed the stressful episode was largely behind them.

But the next night around 1 a.m., DCF workers knocked on the family’s door. They were accompanied by Waltham police officers. Although they had no warrant or court order of any kind, DCF had decided to remove the children from the home. Sarah and Josh protested, but when police threatened to break down the door, the couple got their children out of bed. Baby Cal was still nursing, so Sarah got stored breast milk out of the refrigerator for DCF to take. The couple tried to keep three-year-old Clarence calm by telling him he was going on an adventure; but the boy, desperate to stay with his parents, soon began screaming. Undeterred, DCF took both children away into the night and placed them with a foster mother. (Source.)

Here is a video report from CBS Boston with actual video footage from the night the police broke into their home:

Sadly, this is a common story in the U.S. and not rare at all. We have covered dozens of these stories over the past several years.

Another story that received national media attention in 2019 happened in Arizona where a military SWAT-like operation with Arizona police broke down the door of a family at 1 AM because the parents did not take one of their children who had a fever to an emergency room at the request of a doctor.

The child was reportedly sleeping soundly and only had a fever of 100 degrees when the police and social workers arrived in the early morning hours. The family’s security camera captured the break-in which is why the story went viral and received national attention.

In our investigation of the story, we determined that the family may have been targeted by the medical mafia because they chose not to vaccinate their children.

As we have reported over the years, taking your child to an emergency room is one of the most dangerous things parents can do these days, as there is a huge industry devoted to “medical child abuse” and “child abuse pediatricians” along with their “child abuse” teams which can only be funded and their salaries justified by finding “child abuse” in pediatric patients brought to the hospital.

Unsuspecting parents bring their child to the emergency room and often end up having x-rays taken of their child, and based solely on an x-ray these “child abuse” pediatric doctors will order a child be seized from their parents, even before an investigation can be conducted.

It is a horrific violation of constitutional rights, as even terrorists, rapists, murderers, etc. are afforded due process of law in the criminal justice system, but parents are not given those same rights in Family Court.

After a medical doctor suggests “child abuse”, the children are often ripped away from the parents without any charges even filed, and then they have to prove their innocence, which can take months or even years, to get their children back.

Here are some previous cases we have covered.

In 2015 North Carolina mother Marty Peele contacted us after being arrested for “child abuse” because x-rays of her baby showed ribs that were broken and then healed. Local media were publishing stories about her and portraying her as an abusive, criminal mother.

We investigated her story and interviewed friends and family members, and then published her side of the story in December of 2015. The story got a lot of traffic, and about 3 months later producers of the Dr. Phil show contacted us seeking permission to use our article in a show they were preparing on Marty’s story.

Here is the Dr. Phil segment.

There are many reasons why young children can have brittle bones that cause them to break easily, often without their parents even aware of it, and are only found later via x-rays.

We have found that one of the most common factors for brittle bones in children is “vaccine-induced scurvy.”

Vaccine Induced Scurvy and Shaken Baby Syndrome

What a sad state of affairs it is that in the United States today, young, unsuspecting parents are so trusting of medical doctors, and when they trust what they say about childhood vaccines, not only might they have a child that is injured and crippled for the rest of their lives, but often the parents will be blamed for the vaccine-induced injuries and end up having their children medically kidnapped.

Lyme/MSIDS patients and parents should be on high alert after reading this due to the polarity in the medical community on how to diagnose and treat tick-borne illness, as well as the fact it is so misunderstood.  Patients have been gaslit for decades and told “it’s all in their head.” Parents of children with tick-borne illness have already been accused of child abuse.

A few years ago Wisconsin Watch did a story on how a University of Wisconsin child abuse doctor Dr. Barbara Knox, who was considered a national expert on child abuse, was put on paid leave after colleagues inside and outside of the hospital accused her of intimidation or retaliation, and parents accused her of misdiagnosing abuse.  A settlement agreement signed by Knox and UW shielded the reasons behind Knox’s leave from future employers and credentialing boards.

Despite this damning history Knox then took a job as the medical director of Alaska CARES, a child abuse response and evaluation program based at the Children’s Hospital at Providence in Anchorage where further allegations erupted and current and former co-workers complained for months about Knox’s medical judgment and bullying behavior.

Former President and current chair of the nonprofit Academy on Violence and Abuse, she also has worked with the FBI.  According to this update she has reportedly been placed on leave and is now a professor at the University of Florida’s medical school and child abuse program in Jacksonville where she is earning $280,000.  She is also a member of the state child protection team for Northeast Florida, which means she may again be involved in the abuse determination.

What better place for a child abuse doctor who leaves a wake of devastation everywhere she goes than a professorship at a university!

Meanwhile, in another reality altogether, doctors who are saving lives by using cheap, safe, effective medications that have literally kept people from dying, are being censored, suspended, and fired, for defying corrupt public health’s narrative.
