The kids will probably be fine. I worry more for other people's kids, or the elderly or sick within their sphere - the ones for whom catching one of these diseases could mean death. The kids will get the measles, get over them, and be back on their feet in two weeks. Grandma would get complications that would land her in hospital, and heaven help the little kid at Sunday School who finds himself in hospital around the same time he contracts one of these diseases.
The problem is not for their healthy kids - it's for the unhealthy people around them, whose chance of exposure rises with every kid who doesn't get their shots.
