More than a month later, Sarah Beck and Brooks Bryce are still fighting to retrieve their 2-year-old boy and two other children, 4 and 6, from foster care
Guns drawn, police officers in tactical vests surround a beige ranch house in an anonymous subdivision. With a single decisive kick, one busts down the door. “Come out with your hands up!” an officer yells, as a flashlight’s blinding beams begin sweeping the room.
On Thursday, authorities released body-camera footage from the incident and explained that they decided to “force entry” because the 2-year-old child’s health and well-being were in danger, and he needed immediate medical attention. But critics contend that the parents were well within their rights to determine that a costly hospital visit was unnecessary, and that the dramatic late-night raid may have done irreparable damage to their three young children.
Patheos Instead, at around 6:30 p.m., Beck called the clinic again and said that she had bought a thermometer on the way home, and that it was showing that her son’s temperature had dropped, according to the police report. She later told KPHO that her son has been “acting normal” and “dancing with his sisters in his car seat” after they left the clinic, and that his temperature had fallen to 102. When they got home, it dropped even more, Beck said.
After about an hour, DCS obtained a court order allowing them to temporarily take custody of the 2-year-old child for emergency medical treatment. Shortly before midnight, the officers once again asked Bryce to talk to them outside. He reportedly told them that he wasn’t going to be forced to take his child to the hospital and wind up with a “three grand” bill. Police gave one more warning, then busted down the door just before 1:30 a.m.
From his client’s perspective, Boca added, there was never a need for emergency medical treatment. He pointed out that hours had gone by before the doctor got in touch with DCS. “If this was such an immediate emergency, why didn’t the doctor put the child in an ice bath?” he asked. “Why didn’t the doctor have the child directly transported to the emergency room?”
“Many said that unvaccinated children are highly in demand because they are incredibly healthy. Several discussed an Arizona ‘kidnapping cartel.’”
