A judge has just taken away a Chicago mother’s right to visit her child because she is unvaccinated, in yet another absurd example of COVID authoritarianism.
On Aug. 10, Cook County Judge James Shapiro enquired about Rebecca Firlit’s vaccination status during a child support hearing via video call with her ex-husband of seven years to determine the terms of shared custody of their 11-year-old son. After Firlit informed the judge she didn’t get the vaccine because she’d had bad responses to prior immunizations, he ordered her parental rights to visit her son be taken away until she was inoculated.
“I believe it is incorrect. I believe it is causing family strife. And I don’t believe it’s in my son’s best interests to be separated from his mother,” Firlit told WFLD, a local Fox affiliate.
Firlit hasn’t seen her son in person in over two weeks, despite talking to him on the phone and through video conversations, as per the judge’s order.
Her immunization status, she added, had “nothing to do with what we were talking about.” “He was imposing his beliefs on me and separating my son from me.”

I believe this judge reversed the decision.
This has been overturned , I understand.
He reversed his order.
Welcome to Mengleville.
This is an old story and has been reversed. Where are you getting your news?
Judge has already reversed his ruling.
Old news.
enVolve is the worst of the new news sites. It’s like one person gets home from work and tries to be impressive.
Giving all this power to failed lawyers who are in positions of power because they bribed a politician was a mistake.
Reconsidered by the same judge. Came to one conclusion "following the law," then came to the opposite conclusion "following the law."
The reversed position has been appealed, and a different judge may reverse the reconsidered opinion, also "following the law."
Don’t care what has happened the judge needs to be removed.
People need justice. Real justice. And if the powers that be won’t provide it they will get it themselves. This judge needs some justice.
