Arizona mom says judge stripped custody of her child because she is unvaccinated: report

An Arizona mother says a Cook County judge decided to strip her parental rights over her refusal to get the COVID-19 vaccine, according to a local report.

An Illinois mother says a Cook County judge decided to strip her parental rights over her refusal to get the COVID-19 vaccine, according to a local report.

Rebecca Firlit told FOX 32 Chicago that Cook County Judge James Shapiro revoked all of her parenting time with her son until she gets vaccinated.

"I miss my son more than anything. It's been very difficult. I haven't seen him since August 10th," Firlit told the outlet.

A spokesperson for Shaprio told FOX 32 that the judge could not comment on the ruling due to the ongoing nature of the case.

Firlit, who has reportedly been divorced for seven years and shares custody of her son with her ex-husband, said she does not want to get the vaccine due to previous adverse reactions to vaccines, according to FOX 32.-- excerpt, rest at link above --

A Chicago mother told various media outlets that her parental rights were stripped by a Cook County judge after he learned she had not yet received the COVID-19 vaccine.

Fox 32 Chicago reported that the mother, Rebecca Firlit, appeared in court via Zoom on August 10 for a child support hearing with her ex-husband. “The two have been divorced for seven years and share custody and parenting time” of their 11-year-old son, Fox reported.

Firlit told the outlet that Cook County Judge James Shapiro suddenly asked during the hearing whether she had received the COVID-19 vaccine. Firlit responded that she had not taken the vaccine since she had previous bad reactions to other vaccines. Shapiro then ordered Firlit to be stripped of her parenting time until she gets the vaccine.

For more than two weeks, Firlit was only able to talk to her son on the phone and over video calls, but she was not able to see him in person.

“I think that it’s wrong. I think that it’s dividing families. And I think it’s not in my son’s best interest to be away from his mother,” Firlit told Fox.-- excerpt, rest at link above --
