A clinic doctor ordered parents to bring a boy with a high fever to a hospital. They didn’t. The doctor alerted the Dept. of Child Safety. Officers responded and used forced entry, citing a present danger to a child.
Police officers, who said they had a warrant from DCS, broke down the door of a home and busted in after reports that a child inside had a fever.Get breaking news alerts and special reports. The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.Elisha Fieldstadt
The doctor believed the child could be suffering from a"life-threatening" illness that could not be tested for at the clinic, so she told Beck to take the toddler to the hospital, a police report said. The mother was reluctant because the boy wasn't vaccinated, and she feared"possible repercussions," the report said.
A lawyer for Beck said in a statement to NBC News on Thursday that the way in which the children were removed"was clearly unnecessary and well beyond 'reasonable force.'" "The children advised us they had vomited several times in their beds, and had stains around their mouths," the report said. State Rep. Kelly Townsend, who has worked on legislation requiring the DCS to get a search warrant before removing a child from a home, called the incident a"miscarriage of justice and a shame to the state of Arizona."
The Department of Child Safety said it could not comment on specific cases, but described the incident as standard practice.
