Chemo boy returns home

A 13 year old boy and his mother are home today after fleeing from authorities in order to prevent the boy from getting life saving chemo for a highly curable cancer. The family does not believe in conventional medicine, only alternative treatments.

They are now back home after a federal search warrant went out and national search efforts began. While the aurhorities are promising no prosecution, I think Children and Family Services needs to keep a close eye on this family. What mother in her right mind would enable her child to refuse treatment to save his life? It’s neglectful. It’s abusive. It’s stupid.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A sheriff’s office in Minnesota says a 13-year-old cancer patient and his mother who fled the state to avoid chemotherapy have returned.

The Brown County sheriff’s office did not provide any details Monday but said a news conference would be held at the county seat of New Ulm.
