An Idaho mother accused of killing her twin sons will remain in jail after a judge revoked her bond.

Prosecutors believe Andrea Shaw, 23, suffocated her children, who were found dead in their cribs in May 2025.

Shaw, who has not yet pleaded guilty in the case, has blamed vaccines for their deaths.

Her lawyer had asked that Shaw’s $2 million (£1.48 million) bail be reduced to $100,000 so she could be released and be with her youngest son, who was born just days before her arrest.

However, the judge ordered his bail to be revoked entirely, saying he viewed Shaw as a threat to his new son.

Shaw’s lawyer, Joseph Filicetti, who was contacted by the BBC for comment, told US media that Shaw is a loving mother who should be released to breastfeed her newborn and recover after a C-section.

Prosecutors in Payette County, Idaho, however, said Shaw “should not be allowed to be around any children, much less his own children.”

“This is not a vaccine case,” a prosecutor said. “This is a case where, unfortunately, a mother killed her two children.”

Last year, following the death of her twins, Shaw gave an interview to Children’s Health Defense, an anti-vaccine group founded by Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, during which she and her husband told their stories about the twins’ deaths.

Shaw said they had found the 18-month-old boys, Dallas and Tyson, dead and face down in their cribs eight days after they had been given vaccines for hepatitis A, diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough and flu.

He said they later felt unwell and that he had taken them to the hospital days later, where he was told the children might be having a reaction to the injections. They were given painkillers but died two days later.

Shaw said that when police questioned her about the children’s deaths, they suggested he was “not a doctor” and that she was to blame.

Medical autopsies related to the investigation have not yet been released. The Payette Police Department said Shaw’s arrest was the result of a “long and thorough investigation.”

Shaw is also a plaintiff in a lawsuit brought by Children’s Health Defense and others against the American Academy of Pediatrics over its childhood vaccine recommendations.

Doctors and public health experts continue to emphasize the safety of vaccines, which help prevent a number of diseases. While side effects from vaccines are possible, serious harm is much rarer.
