A young disabled boy who was last month snatched from hospital by his anti-vaxxer mother has been taken into the care of authorities after being deemed “at risk”.
In a now-deleted video posted to Facebook on Friday night, a number of NSW police and child protection workers appear to enact an order for the removal of the 4-year-old boy, while his distressed mother watches on.
The young boy, who suffers cerebral palsy, was last month the subject of a cross-border Amber Alert after his 26-year-old mother removed him from Brisbane's Lady Cilento Hospital before doctors could administer treatment.
The boy's mother has claimed she believes her son's condition is a result of vaccination and has built a loyal social media following through her aversion to Western science-based medicine. She claims instead to be healing her son through medicinal cannabis and organic food.
In a video posted to social media in January, she claimed Queensland child safety authorities ordered her to take the boy to hospital to be fed “this formula synthetic s**t”.

I worked in childcare for over 8yrs in a high migrant area. I witnessed children from many underprivileged countries lining up to be vaccinated mainly because of deaths that had affected those families. When a child is sick and has been in care generally it goes right through a centre. Yes an immunized child can still contract measles or chicken pox but its not to the same degree as not being immunized. I get angry mainly because the parents were immunized themselves and clearly suffered no issues from having been so.
I know how difficult it is to remove a child from a parent. Police just cannot waltz in and grab a kid. There must be a reason. This woman was giving her child cannabis. Is she a qualified medical practitioner to do so, ie a doctor or qualified nurse who has full knowledge of correct dosages. Also where this mother lives is in a State whereby use of cannabis is illegal. She broke the law. All mothers endeavor to provide fresh vegetables and fruits to their families. Thats a good thing but she is no different and cannot use this as an excuse. Personally i feel she was putting her child at risk. Had this child died from her actions would people say it was right what she had done or would she be viewed as being neglectful? Would people question why the child had not been removed? Of course the answers would be a resounding yes.
The boy was clearly striving after she fed him proper food and helped his seizures with cannabis oil which is well known to treat and heal such conditions. I pray for Chase to be home soon with his loving parents. ♡♡♡
Had he been thriving his blood test results would've reflected that. They didn't and she broke the law.
