Sarah Beck and Brooks Bryce from Chandler, Arizona, refused to take their child to hospital when his fever went up to 105 degrees.

The kid had not been fine all this time. The parents took him to a naturopathic health clinic, where they recommended them to go to the hospital. The parents decided to pay no heed to the suggestion, so, the doctor at the clinic reported to the Arizona Department of Child Safety.

They called out to police as they were concerned about the child.

The mother talked about the incident and said, “They examined him and then they left for a few minutes, so then they came back in again and they said his fever was 105 and that we need to take him to the ER.”

The mother claimed that she went back home and checked the temperature and it was no more than 102. She then called back to the clinic. She said, “Hey, I’m not sure how you got this 105 reading, my son’s acting fine. This doesn’t really seem like a medical emergency.”

The doctor still asked her to take to the hospital but the mother never thought of visiting the hospital.

The police came to inspect but the parents didn’t even come to the door. At this moment the police took the court order obtained by DCS to perform a ‘forced entry into the home’. They tried to take temporary custody of the child due to a “possible life-threatening illness”.

When the police entered the premises, they could see that the kid had vomited several times in the bed, they even found a shotgun in the couple’s room and it wasn’t even locked.

The parents of three were not arrested and the custody of the three kids was given to the grandparents.

The prosecution of the parents believes that this isn’t a way to treat someone just because of a fever. Such treatment is for the criminals. It is no way to deal with parents who don’t want to take their toddler to the hospital.

Hence, there are no criminal charges against the parents but the case is still going on.
