Lawyer wants judge to order measles shots for 4 children in case
PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) — A Michigan judge is being asked to order four children to get the measles vaccine against their parents’ wishes amid an ongoing child neglect case.
Attorney H. Elliot Parnes, who was appointed by the court to represent the children, says he filed the motion Wednesday.
The Detroit Free Press reports that child protective services workers were trying to terminate the parental rights of Brian and Amy Kenny when they learned that the children, aged 10 and younger, hadn’t been vaccinated.
Brian Kenny’s attorney says the father is adamantly opposed to inoculations.
The children have been repeatedly removed from their parents’ home. Court records show the Kennys were arrested in 2007, after being found — with their children — in a car with marijuana, a crack pipe and drug paraphernalia.
