Armed police officers tore down the door.<\/a> by Antonia Noori Farzan:<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The scene looks like something from a middle-of-the-night drug raid. Guns drawn, police officers in tactical vests surround a beige ranch house in a subdivision. With a single decisive kick, one busts down the door. \u201cCome out with your hands up!\u201d an officer yells, as a flashlight\u2019s blinding beams begin sweeping the room.<\/p>\n<p>But police in Chandler, Ariz., weren\u2019t seeking out a trove of illegal narcotics when they showed up at the modest home in the Phoenix suburbs on Feb. 25. Instead, they were searching for a 2-year-old who had come down with a dangerously high fever. The boy\u2019s mother, Sarah Beck, had allegedly ignored doctors\u2019 orders and refused to take him to the emergency room, fearing that she would get in trouble because he wasn\u2019t vaccinated. When officials showed up to do a welfare check hours later, the child\u2019s father refused to let them in, saying that everything was fine and the fever had passed. Eventually, police decided to take matters into their own hands.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey treated us like criminals, busting in our door,\u201d Brooks Bryce, the toddler\u2019s father, told KPNX last month. \u201cI mean, I don\u2019t know what kind of trauma that did to my kids.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WaPo: A mom refused to take her unvaccinated toddler to the hospital for a fever.
