Well you can get charged if your kids are in public school with no vaccination record, or exemption form on file.
What city is this? I would love to look that up for myself. It may be b/c of an animal.
So true! You need the record or the exemption for all school aged children in public school.

I am thinking that it is probably about an animal. The woman is probably owner of a dog that potentially bit, and was arrested because the lady failed to have the dog properly vaccinated or proof of.
I doubt it is in any relation to children.

I would say it's probably pet related... since it's against the law to not have proof of current shots. A child wouldn't even be allowed in public school without proof of shots or exemption forms... however, question for anyone who may know, what about homeschooled children?
nothing needed. vaccines are "manditory" only for public schools/gov't funded daycares, and private schools etc. exemptions aren't necessary if you aren't going into any of those places.

Actually, a court in Maryland threatened parents with jail time for not vaccinating their children. It wouldn't surprise me at all actually.

it wasn't for not vaccinating, it was for failing to have the paperwork filled out. you can't get arrested for not vaccinating, but with no exemption forms you can
