Articles labeled: protective custody chemo

A father in Canada is battling the Children’s Aid Society there who took his son into protective custody in order to give the child chemotherapy for his leukemia. The problem? Neither the boy or his family want the treatment.

A judge earlier ruled the boy is not capable of understanding the implications of refusing chemotherapy.

Two of Canada’s top pediatric oncologists have said he will die without the aggressive treatment.

The deeply spiritual youngster, who likes dancing, singing and writing stories, is to be released from hospital tomorrow after his treatment is finished, his father said. It is unclear if the CAS intends to place him in foster care or release him to his family.
