The Detroit area mother did not push it. She said that it is against her religious beliefs. In the court hearing, Bredow said that "I'm a passionate mother who cares deeply about my children. Their health and their well-being. . . . If my child was forced to be vaccinated, I couldn't bring myself to do it.
As follows, the jail sentence it is just the latest of Bredow appearance in court. She also has an ongoing battle for custody against her ex-husband, James Horne. The father wanted their son to be vaccinated and currently shares a joint custody of their child.
