Btw today his mother vaccinated my almost 6 month old son with all the harmful vaccines we previously said we weren't going to give him or at the least break them up into smaller shots...All at once, without my permission, without my knowledge til just now!

Vaccines are NOT harmful. If you want to know how vaccines cause autism (for example), click here:

Vaccinate your kids for their sake as well as for the sake of all the other people your children will come into contact with.

The list is here:

What do all those acronyms mean?

NCM -- non-custodial mom.....yes, we exist too.  It was this site that actually helped me the mostest because I could identify with 99% of the crapola a non-custodial father also goes through with one exception.

Child will need all shots if they go to daycare/pre-K and def by age 5 for Kindergarten. Most children get shots before they even leave the hospital at birth.

There are ways around shots if the parents object.

I think this father's point was that when they were together -- both mom and dad agreed to "no shot" approach to life.

Now that they are apart, Mom went ahead and did it without informing the father.

I agree that a child should get shots, but I also respect a parent's decision if that's not the way they want to go for their child (though I really disagree and will say that again).

It's not about the shots -- it's about not getting told when he thought they were in agreement on a subject.

Very hard to get out of it for public schools. You need a religious reason to why and back it up from their church and prove they have been practicing this religion for a while. My district is very strict in last 5 years about it as children are coming in without shots and infecting other children (mostly chicken pox) so they came down hard on it.

I agree that they should do this together but really, whoever brings child to dr, you usually follow what the dr recommends and shots are given at that visit. Poster should call dr and ask when appointments are and request a remember visit phone call be place when child is coming in on a scheduled appt.

What mixed bags said!
And I was against any of the shots just don't think that he needed them all at one time and again I wasn't informed. Also they bundle shots like dtp and mmr were my main concern as I've heard that there are bad batches occasionally with mercury, that a child that ends up autistic already has the autistic genes but those bad batches set it off...
So I and I thought, we..had agreed to find a facility that would spread the shots out and do the ones from the bundles one at a time...further, an infant doesn't need a tetanus shot I think that can wait til he's a little more mobile

In Kansas you can get a religious waiver and it's not to hard to get from what I hear..I'm not religious

This simply isn't true. Please take a little time and educate yourself with regards to vaccines. The CDC, NIH, WHO, and other organizations have investigated this in depth and the study results are consistent: vaccines do NOT cause autism.

This kind of harmful misinformation has been spread by empty-headed know-nothings like Pamela Anderson, who, needless to say, has never done a shred of research on autism.

Who would you trust for accurate information- an actress from the 90's TV show Baywatch (which featured mainly breasts and butts on display), or scientists who spend their lives studying brain functions and pathology?

The people who support vaccines the most are doctors..and that a money thing and you know it... If you can prove that they don't cause it then I would be more than happy to listen..but all I hear is your opinion sir.
Btw..are you a doctor???
