Imagine yourself as the homeschool parent of a young son who is diagnosed with cancer. Your emotions run a rollercoaster ride of highs and lows. Your son undergoes treatment and your heart is nearly wrenched out of you as you watch him react to the treatments.
Eventually your son appears to be cancer free. Scans are made that reveal no trace of the cancer that had once threatened him. Over the course of the next year, he has had three scans and none of them detect any cancer. At age nine, your son is cancer free and you rejoice and thank God for healing him.
Then suddenly, your world is dashed to pieces when the state health officials demand that you start another aggressive round of chemotherapy. You become exasperated trying to convince them that he is cancer free and does not need the additional chemo. The state does not relent and tells you that if you do not comply that they will bring medical neglect charges against you. You look up the drugs they insist be pumped into your now healthy child and find out that the FDA says their safety and effectiveness in children has not been proven and that one of them may cause additional cancer and delayed cardiotoxicity.

That's what happens when you let the government have control of anything, they screw it up.wait til obamacare takes hold.
Oh my God, how horrible.
I feel sorry for the parents.
God Bless Them.
Now's the time for all those bone-headed goose-stepping yes men (and women) who say "if you aren't doing anything wrong, the don't worry about governmental power (and their exercise of it)" to come and post a reason why THIS isn't wrong either. They probably, no- strike that- WON'T because they CAN'T. But they will still try to make up some whack reason why the government SHOULD jail the parents, take custody, and force the child to take drugs that may easily GIVE him cancer. And refuse to let the parent fo to the funeral because they brought it all upon themselves. Start posting, you bootlicking apologists.
You can actually look this up yourself. This isn't the first or last time this has happened.
Obamacare has nothing to do with stories like this.
This is the kind of stuff that happens when liberal Democrats take over. They took over the last two years of G W Bush's presidency and now blame him for their own bigger messes. Allowing this to happen should outrage every true patriot at heart!
I agree that obamacare has nothing to do with this story.Government control has to do with this story.The health industry is 12% of our economy,that's why the government wants control.The more government controls our health care the worse off we will be.
