A 4-year-old girl who went through two years of cancer treatments isn't being allowed to go on a Make-A-Wish trip to Disney World because her father said she's in remission and the trips should go to children who are sicker than his daughter.
The young girl, McKenna May of Haskins, had the trip postponed twice while was undergoing treatment for leukemia and finally was set to go in August when the father refused to sign off on the trip, the girl's mother and grandmother said Thursday.
The family said Make-A-Wish requires signatures from both parents if either have visitation rights or is listed on the birth certificate. McKenna's parents never married or lived together. Her grandmother said the father only recently received visitation privileges.

Why are some parents so selfish? Can't he think of his daughter first? She may be in remission, but what if it returns? will it be ok then? wow! some people shouldn't be parents. I don't believe he was concerned about the other children sicker needing to go, I think he is one of those dads that want to show the ex that he still has some control. What an A$$!!!
This guy is a complete arse.
I would ask what the daughter wants to do. Then that is what my ex and I would do.map
So she worked with the doctors, did everything she was told, beat CANCER, and gets her Disney trip pulled. There is no word for this man....
The dad is not being selfish. He's being an altruist and sacrificing his daughter's happiness.
I think he was trying to do the right thing and let a child go who was going to die and not have a chance to go some other time, such as his daughter will.
