My daughter was bit by a raccoon with rabies. My wife does not want to give our daughter the rabies series because its a vaccine. I am taking her tonight to a hospital against my wifes wishes in secret.
My daughter was playing with a wild raccoon last night and got bit. I killed a raccoon in the area foaming at the mouth. Not sure if its the same one but refuse to take the chance.
My wife vehemently refused the rabies series because its a vaccine. I am in panic mode and I am taking her to a hospital over 50 miles away near Dallas.
Can I kidnap my own daughter? There is not a custody agreement in place because we are married and not separated. Probably will be soon though.
I need to know what to watch out for here and what to say to police if I get stopped. Rabies is fatal so I am not playing with this one.
I am leaving here in 10 minutes so just need to know a few things.
Is it kidnapping in this case?
What do I do if she calls in an amber alert?

I'd be worried that wife kidnaps the kid or something so she doesn't get the follow up treatment.

You will eat your rabies and you will LIKE IT.
Rabies transmission to humans may be extremely rare in the US these days, but holy cow you don't want to muck about with those odds. I wonder how loudly he would have to shout the words INVARIABLY FATAL to overcome that anti-vax noise? It is 2018, right? Polio etc still eradicated for the most part? Mumps, measles no longer a huge killer of children? Untreated rabies still INVARIABLY FATAL? Just asking. For a friend.

I wonder if this could be used against the wife in court when it comes to custody. Clearly the wife is making some very poor decisions that are not in the daughters best interest.
