Mother Flees With 13 Year Old Son
| Wed, 05-20-2009 - 6:57pm |
This was just on ABC Evening News. Apparently the parents of a 13 year old boy with Hodgkins Lymphoma were under a court order to have their son treated with chemotherapy for his tumor. The mother, fearing authorities would take their son, is "on the run" with him. The boy, after one chemo treatment, said he thought chemo might kill him.

I saw that story also tonight.
I'm certain the father knows where the mom took the son. They're just trying to cover it up because they don't want people infringing on them.
It angers me that people are so irresponsible to their children's health. Do faith healing for yourself, not your offspring.

Faith, medicine at odds in chemo refusal
The case of a missing Minnesota mother and her cancer-stricken son has rekindled the debate over parents who reject conventional medical treatments for their sick children because of religious beliefs.

The father of the sick boy was on the TV, urging his wife to come home.
It's a shame that she fled because the chemo can make the cancer go in remission.
