Heartbreaking Story Of Five-Year-Old Child Who Developed ‘Severe Regressive Autism’ After Receiving Vaccinations During Custody Battle
The Defender shared a heartbreaking story of a five-year-old who developed “severe regressive autism” after being ordered to receive childhood vaccinations as part of a custody battle.
“In 2016, David Ihben moved his wife and three children from Chicago to Jamestown, in rural Tennessee, with high hopes for a new and calmer life. But the dream turned into a nightmare for David and his children in December 2019, when divorce proceedings and a subsequent custody battle resulted in the forced vaccination of the children — and changed the family’s fortunes forever,” Children’s Health Defense wrote.
According to the outlet, Ihben said his ex-wife decided “this wasn’t the life she wanted.”
“So they were attempting to develop a parenting plan in family court — when Tennessee judge Todd Burnett ‘pulled up the vaccine issue’ after discovering the couple’s children were unvaccinated — and forced the parents to vaccinate their children,” Children’s Health Defense continued.
“Ihben’s two oldest children — daughter Hannah and son Joseph — were spared significant adverse events following their vaccination. But his youngest son, Isaac, wasn’t so fortunate. After receiving 18 vaccines in one day, Isaac developed severe regressive autism. Today, he requires around-the-clock care,” the outlet continued.
“The children’s mother soon abandoned the children, leaving Ihben to raise them as a single parent — even though he is still obliged to pay child support,” it added.
“This hasn’t just got me learning. My kids are learning. Hannah and Joseph are learning about their government and their food and their environment. They’re teaching their friends about this,” Ihben said.

More from The Defender:
Ihben told The Defender his entire family was unvaccinated. “I’ve never had any. My dad was drafted by the Army in 1961, and he didn’t get any either. We’ve never vaccinated,” he said. “Our children had to sign religious exemptions for school.”
During divorce proceedings though, his wife’s attorney used the vaccination issue to drive a wedge between the parents.
“When we went to court, I guess her attorney knew that [Burnett] was a pro-vaccine judge and that’s something that they could get me on,” Ihben said.
According to Ihben, Burnett told the couple that it was his “personal opinion that not vaccinating your children is child abuse.” He then told the couple that whichever parent would be willing to vaccinate the children that same day would leave the courthouse with custody.
“I said, ‘Your Honor, we have rights. It’s between the mom and their father,’” Ihben recalled. “Her attorney whispered to her, and she goes, ‘I’ll take them down and vaccinate them today.’”
“I was so surprised, because me and my ex-wife didn’t agree on much, but we did agree on that,” Ihben said, referring to their views on vaccination.
After the hearing, Ihben and his wife were granted joint custody of the children, with their mother as their primary guardian. Later that day, the children received their childhood vaccines — and Isaac immediately became sick.
As part of a custody battle, a Tennessee judge ordered a family to vaccinate all three of their children, all of whom had never been vaccinated. Five-year-old Isaac immediately became ill and was eventually diagnosed with severe regressive autism.

Ihben said his daughter had previous allergies, so the doctor refused to give her all the vaccinations in one day.
Joseph, his other son, was in the ICU for a “couple of days but seems to be okay.”
However, Isaac spent 12 days in the ICU.
He had a 106-degree fever for eight days.
Ihben told The Defender Isaac was “just a normal happy kid” before the vaccinations.
“He doesn’t talk. He wears a diaper. He eats out of a baby bottle 20-30 times a day, he has speech therapy and will require 24-hour care and supervision for the rest of his life,” Ihben told the outlet.
“I haven’t had a full night’s sleep in four years. He has to be changed every two hours, or he will have an accident. If you have a child with regressive autism or know someone, you will understand what our days are like,” he added.

Ihben explained the court had slapped him with a six-month restraining order, so he didn’t learn about Isaac’s injuries right away.
“My youngest comes walking out and I’m like, ‘What’s going on?’” he said.
“My children told me everything that’s going on. Basically, nobody’s given me information. I had to go off what 10- and 11-year-olds were telling me,” he continued.
He said the judge sealed the hospital records and he couldn’t find out what happened to Isaac.
“It wasn’t until he enrolled his daughter in high school that, while obtaining her records from the local health department, he had a chance to view Isaac’s records. That’s when he saw that Isaac had received 18 vaccines in one day,” The Defender wrote.
“How can a judge force medical care without a doctor’s input?” Ihben asked.
“I don’t think judges should be dictating medical treatment from the bench,” he added.
“It breaks my heart to hear this. That poor child has a very difficult life ahead. The mother, her attorney, the judge, and the physician should all be in prison for what they did to that child, but we’re sadly the kind of society that punishes people like David Ihben instead,” one X user commented.

The Defender noted that doctors at Vanderbilt University said Isaac’s injuries “are a direct result from forced vaccination.”
