Parents- Levi & Marissa
Anderson (Baby Cyrus) Protesting [Photo
from Vaccine Impact]
I am still a bit confused why and how an Idaho
pediatrician (Aaron Dykstra) could claim child endangerment to trigger a
Medical Kidnapping of a child that only days before was
released from a clinic with a full bill of health.
When I first read this story a MSM outlet vilified Ammon
Bundy for protesting the Medical Kidnapping which went on to report the 10
month old kid’s weight loss and queasy stomach to justify Medical Tyranny
against some Christian parents. I chalked the story up to a local issue and
moved on.
THEN I discovered some left-out details should stoke the flames
of Parental Rights over abusive government tyranny. Here are those details the
local and MSM news selectively left out courtesy of America’s Frontline Doctors.

Medical Kidnapping? Breast milk-dependent infant
deteriorates in state custody
By Rafael King
Mar 15, 2022 05:08 AM
Unable to eat solid foods, 10-month-old removed from mother
after she didn’t feel well and canceled clinic appointment
An Idaho couple is accusing the Idaho Department of Health
and Welfare of kidnapping their son, Cyrus, and depriving him of his only source
of nutrition, his mother’s milk.
Show of force
Cyrus was taken into custody Saturday morning in a dramatic
scene described by the baby’s grandfather, Diego Rodriguez, in a post
entitled, Baby
Cyrus Was Kidnapped!!! The baby’s parents, Marissa and Levi
Anderson, were followed to a gas station and surrounded by
“well over a dozen
officers and squad cars. They acted like they were arresting Al Capone. The
officers violated multiple rights, did not follow the constitution or other
laws and statutes and arrested both of my daughters, handcuffed Levi, and then
forcefully stripped Baby Cyrus away from his crying mother (my daughter), for
alleged “child endangerment” because they canceled a pediatric appointment and
the doctor called CPS [Child Protective Services] claiming that Cyrus was
‘underweight.’”
For his health?
The Andersons were allowed to see their son Sunday night in
the hospital in which the Child and Family Services and Foster Care agency
placed him, in the presence of a police officer and social worker. After less
than two days in state custody, they reported that their infant son had become
“unresponsive and lethargic and
his spirit has completely changed. He is unrecognizable from the child he was
when they stole him away from us."
Rodriguez’s post includes video showing an alert and happy,
though thin, baby just prior to the seizure compared to pictures taken during
the parent’s hospital visit in which Cyrus is seen sleeping with red skin
blotches on his face.
Parental neglect?
Rodriguez says his grandson’s low weight is due to his
inability to fully digest proteins at this point, causing him to vomit each
time he eats anything other than his mother’s milk, even goat’s milk powder:
“Baby Cyrus had begun vomiting a
month or so ago when Marissa started to introduce solid foods to him. Her and
Levi spent countless hours researching every possible cause—going to doctors,
naturopaths, specialists, and more—and all at great out-of-pocket expense.
Cyrus would get better and then relapse. This happened a few times.
"As part of their continued
research and care for Cyrus, they decided (reluctantly) to take Cyrus to St. Luke's
so he could get an IV to help re-hydrate him after vomiting so much. The
plan/idea was for him to be well so they could try different foods, formulas,
or whatever—to see what Cyrus could take and what he could not.”
Not cooperating?
Ironically, just days before the state seized Cyrus on March
12, 2022, and hospitalized him, the Andersons themselves had their son admitted
to the very same hospital voluntarily for 4 days after they brought him to the
hospital’s emergency room on March 1, 2022, to treat his weakness and
dehydration resulting from his difficulty eating, with Marissa staying at the
hospital to nurse Cyrus.
Red Voice Media summarizes what happened next:
“Other than the digestive
issues, Cyrus was sent home with a ‘clean bill of health’ … Still, the
Andersons were taking Cyrus in for daily weigh-ins to Dr. Aaron Dykstra at
Functional Medicine of Idaho.
“Marissa called the office on
Friday (March 11) to let them know she wasn’t feeling well and wouldn’t be
bringing Cyrus in that day (as per just about every hospital protocol in the
world right now). The doctor called her back later but she didn’t answer (she
was sleeping). Marissa then found out via text message from social worker Nice
Loufoua that CPS was contacted for alleged child endangerment of Cyrus.”
Presumably, during COVID, the clinic would not have allowed
Marissa to enter while showing cold symptoms. Additionally, Mr. Dykstra is
actually not a medical doctor. He is a nurse with a Doctor of
Nursing Practice degree. Nonetheless, the social worker relied on
his report and, instead of checking with the baby’s parents whether they would
be bringing Cyrus for his daily weigh-in the next day, Saturday, at the same
clinic, the social worker demanded that they immediately bring Cyrus to the Faces of Hope
Victim Center’s Triage and Support Center for victims of
domestic and sexual violence and other forms of child abuse.
“Levi did contact Nice
Loufoua, the social worker who had texted Marissa, and asked her what was going
on? She refused to give any answers to him. He asked what they thought was
wrong with Baby Cyrus since they were given a clean bill of health and
discharged from the hospital.
Nice refused to give Levi,
Cyrus's father, any information and just demanded that he go immediately to a
clinic because it is a "medical emergency." But she refused to tell
him what the ‘medical emergency' was. She then texted him the address for
"Faces of Hope Victim Center."
Rodriguez asks rhetorically,
“Would you take your child to a
place called the Faces of Hope Victim Center after being
verbally harassed by a social worker?”
Even up to the last moment, the Andersons offered to
cooperate with daily weighings. According to an interview on the One America News Network, Marissa
offered to go with the police to have the baby weighed at the hospital, only to
be arrested and forcibly removed from the ambulance in which the baby was
placed.
Protests
Ammon Bundy, a current candidate for Governor of
Idaho, has led protests against the seizure of Cyrus, tweeting,
“Today hundreds of people gathered with us at St. Luke’s in Boise to demand an
end to medical tyranny and a prompt return of Baby Cyrus to his loving
parents.” In fact, Bundy is the interviewee in the above referenced One America
story.

Fake News
KTVB7 published an article relying entirely on
the government’s version of this story and including several verifiably false
statements. For example, they stated that the baby had, “been admitted to the
hospital on March 1 ‘after medical personnel determined the child was suffering
from severe malnourishment.’"
Without mentioning that it was the parents who brought the
child to the hospital or that the child suffered from a digestive disorder
making it impossible to hold down food or that the parents made huge efforts to
find a food or drink that he could hold down, they gave the impression that the
parents were doing the very opposite - trying to starve their child.
As pointed out by Rodriguez, the article claimed that the
father agreed to a doctor’s appointment for the baby but then “failed to show
up,” when in reality the father never agreed because it wasn’t an appointment
at their doctor but rather an appointment with the above described victim
center. In fact, the news article makes it sound like there was some kind of
long-term refusal to cooperate with health care workers when, in reality, it
all happened in one day - a canceled Friday morning weigh-in and arrests and a
seizure just after midnight (early Saturday morning).
The article even falsely stated that Bundy refused to leave
the hospital property after being requested to do so, and was therefore
arrested, when video posted by Rodrigues clearly shows that no such request was
made and the police simply grabbed Bundy suddenly and arrested him. Bundy tweeted that,
“this was an ambush arrest with no legal grounds.”

Local articles like these are picked up by national outlets
and repeated without fact checking, creating the false appearance of a
consensus on the (incorrect) facts.
Targeted?
Interestingly, both the father and the grandfather of the seized infant
are active in Freedom Man Press, an organization that works to
“advance the cause of Freedom, Liberty, and the founding principles of the
United States of America.””
Levi Anderson serves as the organization’s Executive
Director while Diego Rodriguez is the Communications and Marketing Director.
Diego is described as a professional speaker and the marketing director for
Freedom Man Press. He is also a known political activist and a frequent speaker
at Freedom-related events.
The family has also been vocal in their opposition to mask
and vaccine mandates and, during their son’s hospitalization, the Andersons
made clear that they want the freedom to choose whether or not to vaccinate
their child. They even link to AFLDS COVID treatment protocols. While all this may
be a mere coincidence, it is worth noting that these views happen to be
anathema to public health officials.
Source of heavy-handed approach to parents
Why does the government act so aggressively with parents on
scant evidence of abuse (weight loss in a child where the parents are trying
every possible diet to help) but so lax about, say, locating stolen property?
In Marx, Engels, and the Abolition of the Family, Richard
Weikart described the socialist approach to children.
“Marx's first significant
exposure to the concept of the abolition of the family probably came during his
stay in Paris in 1843-1844, when he first imbibed communist ideas and held long
discussions with numerous socialists … Charles Fourier's ideas played a
significant role in the socialist movement in France in the 1830s and 1840s …
Fourier advocated the replacement of monogamous marriage … He also proposed
that children be raised communally …
“In another passage in The
German Ideology Marx and Engels asserted that both French and
English socialists were pressing for the dissolution of the family. This
implies some knowledge, however cursory it may have been, of Robert Owen's
disdain for the family as an institution, since he was the foremost English
socialist to attack the family. There is no doubt that Engels' understanding of
family relationships was strongly influenced by Fourier and Owen. In Anti-Duhring,
which was Engels' most influential work, he lavished praise on both socialists
for their views on the family. He considered Owen's writings on marriage among
his most important works.
…
"Engels in his draft
for The Communist Manifesto articulated more
clearly his vision for children in communist society:
‘"The raising (Erziehung)
of children together in national institutions and at national expense, from
that moment on, in which they can dispense with the first motherly care.’ The
child-rearing principles that Marx and Engels espoused were not original.
Fourier and especially Owen had already vigorously touted the superiority of
the communal education of children and the removal of children from parental
control and influence."
Similarly, in Communism and the Family, Alexandra
Kollontai wrote,
“The state is responsible for
the upbringing of children … There is no escaping the fact: the old type
of family has had its day.”

Tyranny

Dear John,
We are watching tyranny spread across the world.
Many are rightly outraged over the use of brute military
force against innocent people.
Here in America, tyranny doesn’t need tanks, and coercion
doesn’t require a powerful army.
Two years ago we were told to wash our hands frequently and
stay safe. Now thousands of bank accounts are being frozen because people
voiced opposition to extreme and unconstitutional abuses of emergency powers.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did not need tanks to
strangle and conquer his enemies because he decided to control their wallets.
And you can be sure the United States government took notes.
Our enemies have done the same to America’s Frontline
Doctors—from PayPal’s decision to cut off your ability to donate to us; to
Amazon’s decision to shut our website down as it was hosted on their servers. And
this week we received a notice from Google—they too are committed to
censoring AFLDS. (More about that in an upcoming email).
In spite of it all, America’s Frontline Doctors is committed
to fighting the battle to keep Americans free, and with western democracies now
turning on their citizens, we need your support more than ever.
