Nowhere to Run: The State Accused This Homeschool Dad of "Kidnapping" His Own Kids.

What happened next is a nightmare, and a somber warning to all parents who dare take on the medical mainstream.

“If this is my last day, please protect me and my children.”

Israel Rivera, speaking from jail about the armed raid on his family’s home, describes how he dropped to his knees and prayed.

This isn’t a story from China or Venezuela.
This happened in Massachusetts.
To a father of five.
Because he didn’t want to vaccinate his baby.

And now, Israel Rivera is sitting behind bars—while his wife is in hiding, and their children have been seized by the state.

This is the horrific story they don’t want getting out:

What happened?

Israel Rivera and Ruth Encarnacion are a homeschooling couple from Worcester County, MA. They live a quiet, faith-based life with their five children—until one pediatric visit upended their entire world.

They took their 9-month-old in for a routine check-up with Dr. Behzad Goharfar, who allegedly pressured them to administer multiple vaccines on the spot.

That didn’t go over well.

When they declined—citing religious objections—the doctor threatened to file a 51A report with the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF).

Goharfar has been known to report families to DCF; this wasn’t the first time. But this time, the consequences were far more severe.

What came next was every father’s worst fear - and a dramatic escalation straight out of a dystopian film.
