Video: Arizona Police Take Custody of Unvaccinated 2-Year-Old with Fever
Arizona law allows officials to take custody of a child for his or her safety and gives police the ability to "use reasonable force to enter any building" to do so.

According to Fox News, CPD officers entered the home of Sarah Beck and Brooks Bryce to take custody of their unvaccinated son in order to ensure that the boy would not be put in further peril of worsening illness or even death.

Earlier, the boy's parents had taken him to an emergency room for evaluation and were told to take him to a nearby children's hospital for further examination. The mother was hesitant because the boy was not vaccinated, but agreed to the doctor's recommendations.
Later that day, the doctor learned that the family had not in fact gotten to the children's hospital and called the Arizona Department of Child Safety.
