    To avoid Covid vaccine, woman “kidnaps” her own sons; ex-husband files complaint

    Digital Desk : A woman who had earlier accused her ex-husband of kidnapping their two sons to prevent them from being vaccinated, has now turned herself into the authorities.





    The 46-year-old woman was wanted for “kidnapping” her two sons after her ex-husband had lodged a complaint against her in mid-December accusing her of taking away their kids aged 14 and 12 without authorization.





    The man found his sons missing since November 4 last year when he received a letter from his former wife saying that she removed their sons from their school, days after a court ruled he had the right to decide whether the children should be vaccinated.
