“Omg Omg Omg! Arizona Chandler police department just broke in Sarah Becks door WITHOUT a warrant!!! Unvaxxed kids are being stolen!” The frantic post shared on Facebook went viral earlier this week. Anti-vax conspiracy theorists swarmed and shared the update all over social media. However, the story provided in the update wasn’t true. Arizona police say the children were in immediate medical danger and they had a warrant to remove the children from home. When the post was shared earlier this week by a friend of Sarah Beck, anti-vaxxers shared the information in groups and on pages. Individuals expressed outrage, anger, and paranoia that police were removing children from anti-vaccine parents. Almost immediately discussions broke out that Arizona DCS was kidnapping unvaccinated children to sell them into foster care. Many said that unvaccinated children are highly in demand because they are incredibly healthy. Several discussed an Arizona ‘kidnapping cartel.” While many believed the post at face value, others that knew the family personally attempted to stop the misinformation from spreading. One woman, a former friend of Sarah’s, said the post left out critical details about the case. For instance, she said DCS had been involved with the family multiple times. Additionally, she said the police took the children because a doctor feared one of the children had meningitis. According to the woman, Sarah had taken her 2-year-old son to see their naturopath earlier in the day. At the clinic, the boy, Heder, had a fever of 105 degrees. The naturopath told Sarah that she needed to take Heder to the hospital. Sarah didn’t agree with the provider and left the clinic. Later in the day, Sarah called the naturopath to tell them she would not be taking her son to the hospital. Sarah expressed to the doctor that his fever had gone down and she wasn’t concerned anymore. When the naturopath learned the boy was still at home, they called the Department of Child Safety and filed a report. Based on the information provided by the former friend, the children’s vaccination status did not play a role in the case. As the rumors spread online, Sarah and her partner Brooks Bryce reached out to local media to cover the story. Multiple news outlets in Arizona picked up the story. AZ Family interviewed the couple outside of their home. They said that police broke down their door and took their three children. Sarah said that police came to the house after a naturopath reported her to DCS for failing to bring her son to the hospital. In the interview, Sarah confirmed everything her former friend shared online earlier in the week. At the clinic, her son Heder had a fever of 105. Sarah said she retook his temperature in the car on the way home. According to Sarah, the Heder’s temperature was 102. She noted that Heder acted normal in the car and danced with his siblings. She admitted that she called the naturopath and told them that she wasn’t concerned about Heder’s fever. However, the naturopath believed that Heder had meningitis and needed life-saving medical help. Fearful for the boy’s life, the naturopath called DCS to file a report. After receiving the report from the doctor, DCS reached out to the parents to investigate. Brooks said that he spoke with a social worker and refused to take his son to the hospital. Brooks told AZ Family, “They said ‘Brooks, you have to come out of your house right now… we have to check on them [kids],’ and I said, ‘I have Heber in my arms, he’s doing fine, his temperature is 100 degrees. He’s safe he’s asleep, could you please just leave us alone,’” Brooks Bryce, the boy’s dad, said. Unable to convince the couple to take Heder to the hospital, DCS requested a temporary custody order from a judge. Police showed up at the couples home with the custody order and knocked on the door multiple times. Brooks refused to open the door and comply with their requests. The police report indicated that the home had clutter all over the floor which made it difficult to walk. In one of the children’s bedroom, authorities found vomit all over the beds. The couple admitted the children had vomited several times and they had not cleaned up the mess. Details from the police report: -“there was a present danger [to the child] that required immediate medical attention” -“Brooks and Sarah refused to come outside and refused to let DCS check on the welfare of [the child].” -“There was a court order signed by the judge giving DCS temporary custody of [the child] in order to get him medical treatment.” In the couple’s bedroom, police found a shotgun that was not locked or secured. Brooks disputed the claim about the gun and insisted the weapon doesn’t work. After completing a search of the home, the police called for an ambulance. Two of the children were taken by ambulance to the hospital. A DCS worker took the third child to the hospital by car. The naturopath’s concerns were not unfounded. Doctors admitted Heder into the hospital to treat his symptoms. Since the DCS removed the children from home, the couple has not seen their children. They were supposed to meet with social workers, but the couple said DCS canceled the appointment. Police say that there have been no criminal charges filed in the case. However, the investigation is still on-going. Sarah and Brooks told multiple agencies that their children are not vaccinated, but they do not believe their vaccination status has anything to do with this case. This story highlights the fact that misinformation spreads quickly on Facebook. People took a status update at face value. They shared the status all over social media and created a frenzy based on unsubstantiated claims. Anti-vaxxers used the story to further their narrative that DCS medically kidnaps children. Additionally, they fed into conspiracy theorists that believe social service workers capture and sell children into foster care. Absolutely all of their fears were completely unfounded. DCS was forced to remove the child because the parents failed to take the child to the hospital. Heder’s fever was extraordinarily high and indicative of a bacterial infection. Instead of following the doctor’s orders, the parents decided not to treat their son. Anti-vaxxers consistently use stories like this to tarnish the reputations of doctors, government agencies, and hospitals. They never consider the fact that the parents in the case might be at fault. This is an important reminder to be cautious of what you see online. Just because someone cries “medical kidnapping” doesn’t mean it’s real.

#59. To: GrandIsland (#57)
This means I must pull a Hermann Wilhelm Göring? Oh, well. No doubt the best choice anyway.
It sounded...off...to me. So I checked it via search engine. It appears that it is lovethecock.com (singular). Fortunately, none of us appear to have remembered it accurately.
Are you addressing me? I thought you announced you were too busy to post to me about 5-6 posts ago.
Any facts yet? I found the first definition was: Then I found the second definition was: I looked and there were no further definitions. After carefully considering all of that, I will answer your question. No. I am not “addressing” you. What I am doing is responding to the post you made to me. And in my response to the post you made to me, I asked you: Yes, I did definitely announce that I was too busy to post to you. But never did I announce that I was too busy to read the facts you post TO me. Did I? I will answer my own question, thank you. No, I did not. So, I will ask again:
That makes me feel a little better.
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Because you followed the link, gayblade!
Does anyone know what happened to yukon? His revelation about the wrong link, quickly lead to the demise of LP.
No, I did not. I hope you two will be very happy together.
Funny you should ask. A lot of people, including GoldiLox, thought you were using HideMyAss VPN to masquerade under yukon's handle and then posted that very same infamous link under his handle over at LP. I'm sure you recall the accusations against you.
I don't need to use "HideMyAss" for anything. Salley knew that same perspective just as AKA Stone knows it.
No, I did not. I hope you two will be very happy together. Thank you for you best wishes. And I can assure more happy that we would ever be together with some asshole Paultard libertarian.
I’m glad you brought that up. That’s my guess as to what happened. BuckerGoo is the most disruptive poster I’ve ever seen, on any forum.
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Of course, we note that you still do not offer any vehement denial.
Yep, a lot of people did think that buckeroo posted that infamous link under [yukon's] handle at LP. Some, at least one person I know of, still firmly holds that belief today. Edit: Make that two people. I just read another post.
I think it's about 50-50. Either yukon was gay and posted a lurid link and left out of embarrassment or buckeroo did hack his account and posted a naughty link as part of an article(!). I guess I think it's actually 60%-70% likely it was just yukon flying his true colors by accident. Otherwise, why did he flee, apparently in shame? You wouldn't do that if you got hacked and someone posted an article with a lurid link as an "accident", would you? I don't think you would. You'd keep going on the forum, guns blazing, insisting that you wuz hacked. But yukon didn't. And we know he did otherwise have a very thick hide and endless appetite for online baiting/posting. Instead, he disappeared like some Rumpelstiltskin.
Oh "WE" do? One more time, I do not subscribe to third party capabilities.
A review of the posts at LP will show that harrowup firmly believed that liberator was a coconspirator. OMG….I just realized I am posting to you. Oh well, I did find a little spare time.
Oh "WE" do? Tooconservative + Gatlin = "WE" So TC is numerically correct. Not many times have I ever found him wrong. Cantankerous sometimes, maybe. But wrong ????
I am convinced that your meaningless post was archaic at best.
A few posters over at 4um seemed to suspect bucky as well, having reviewed the IP address history that Goldi provided. You recall my posts at LP about this at the time. Damn...I wonder if I've still got a bookmark for it? Why, yes, I do. LP: LP FUNDRAISER You can find Goldi, yukon, Gatlin, me nad others there. You can see where I posted via the public HideMyAss VPN server and then Goldi checked her IP logs to see that I was posting from the same IP address range as the original yukon gay-porn post was made (post #979). Glancing at a few other old LP threads, I realized that LP was just never the same once yukon was no longer there 24/7, calling some poor soul a "dishonorable asshole" a half-dozen times on every thread. LOL
(((( PING )))) The cowardly fag tater didn't have the guts to ping you.
Damn, I am surprise. I am astonished. I am truly amazed, And you have impressed me greatly. Why and how? You knew the word “archaic” and you knew how to property construct a sentence using the word. I have strong hopes you will continue to work on your vocabulary.
I recall that 22Rifle was devastated when yukon posted that he was glad that he was finally out of the closet, and didn't have to hide it anymore. Best post evah on LP.
Ah yes, I forgot about that. I chatted with Yukon on back channel all the time. I was getting the story from him from the first moment of the incident and even when he could not sign in until Goldi and Stone gave him a new password since his old one had been changed. I of course never believe it was him and strongly suspected it was Bucky all the time that had compromised his password. Goldi said, as you may well remember that she guessed Yukon’s password on LP. You may also remember that I said I guessed yukon’s password on LF on the first try.
I’m not buying it. He was an Alaskan dude, talked about 4x4’s, guns, conservative values and so on. We had one self proclaimed fag posting, that was Meguro. If you remember, Meguro was a flaming LIBERAL. IMHO, most filthy fags are liberal minded. I guarantee if Yukon was posting today, he’d be supporting Trump. No faggot on this planet likes Trump. Think about it. Yukon was hated like a devil by the cop hating drug loving paultard cult. They NEVER allowed another ideology without pushback. It’s how they indoctrinate. Yukon abused them at every turn. The only way they could keep LP an indoctrinated anti government sounding board, was to remove or discredit Yukon.
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Didn’t Goldi finally ban him?
That paranoid bitch banned me, for no other reason than Obama won a second term. Out of the blue, the C U Next Thursday banned me about 15 minutes after his second term was announced. She didn’t like cops... I’m sure the cops didn’t care for her smell, after finding her melted into her hardwood floor.
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Yes, And he lived out in the wilderness far from town and used a phone line to connect to the Internet.
That's true.
He knows we want to hear a denial. So he refuses to give it. I'm still not sure he has technical skills adequate to break into yucko's account. Not impossible. But a dictionary attack would likely have done the trick. Most people reuse the same common passwords over and over. Left to their own devices, most people will use 'password' or '1234' as their password. It's pathetic.
Woah, no one broke into his account. Goldi figured out someone guessed his password. Her posts sill on fill will show that she immediately guessed his password. I forget what it was. But I remember I guessed his password on LF and he confirmed it. It was the first word of his screen name.
I quizzed yukon directly and he kept denying using a common or easy-to-guess password.
A good perspective.
I quizzed yukon directly and he kept denying using a common or easy-to-guess password. I don’t know why he said that. Goldi’s post is still out there somewhere. And my post is still here on LF somewhere. Where we both said we guessed his password.
... perspective ... OMG ... You know a second big word. I am amazed.
I don’t remember if it was made public but he was a 24/7 caregiver and everyone wondered why he was on the forum so much and so many odd hours. It was because he had to take care of his wife even at odd times and would post while he was up. His wife passed away during that fiasco he was going through. That made it doubly bad for him. He, harrowup and I exchanged emails for a long time after he was no longer on LP. He never expressed anger, just disappointment that someone would do such a thing to him. I was also made aware of harrowup recurring cancer. I really didn’t know the details except he had an arm amputated and he had to give up flying his own airplane from WI to the Texas panhandle to visit friends and relatives. I could go on but I will stop here. I just got started down memory lane and kept keying in words.
Hey, I enjoyed the exchanges. Later ...
Yukon was probably the biggest asshole I ever met on the internet. He had an ibluafartsky account here too. He didn't use it to say he was hacked. He got real quiet on it.

Are you addressing me?
I took time to look up the definition of “addressing.” 1. write the name and address of the intended recipient on (an envelope, letter, or package).
So, I decided I wasn’t doing that to you. 2. speak to (a person or an assembly), typically in a formal way.
I definitely decided I wasn’t doing that either. Any facts yet?
So since you maybe didn’t understand the question, I will ask you again: Any facts yet?
I patiently await your reply….where you include FACTS of course. I thought you announced you were too busy to post to me about 5-6 posts ago.
