Judge orders cancer victim to stop alternative treatments and to report to hospital for medically approved treatments

Posted Image

A judge ruled Friday that a 16-year-old boy fighting to use alternative treatment for his cancer must report to a hospital by Tuesday and accept treatment that doctors deem necessary, the family’s attorney said.
The judge also found that Starchild Abraham Cherrix’s parents were neglectful for allowing him to pursue alternative treatment of a sugar-free, organic diet and herbal supplements supervised by a clinic in Mexico, lawyer John Stepanovich said.

Jay and Rose Cherrix of Chincoteague on Virginia's Eastern Shore must continue to share custody of their son with the Accomack County Department of Social Services, as the judge had previously ordered, Stepanovich said.
The parents were devastated by the new order and planned to appeal, the lawyer said.

Stepanovich said he will ask a higher court on Monday to stay enforcement of the order, which requires the parents to take Abraham to Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters in Norfolk, Virginia, and to give the oncologist their written legal consent to treat their son for Hodgkin's disease.

"I want to caution all parents of Virginia: Look out, because Social Services may be pounding on your door next when they disagree with the decision you've made about the health care of your child," Stepanovich said.
Phone calls to the Cherrix home went unanswered.

The lawyer declined to release the ruling, saying juvenile court Judge Jesse E. Demps has sealed much of the case.
Social Services officials have declined to comment, citing privacy laws.
After three months of chemotherapy last year made him nauseated and weak, Abraham rejected doctors' recommendations to go through a second round when he learned early this year that his Hodgkin's disease, a cancer of the lymph nodes, was active again.

A social worker then asked a judge to require the teen to continue conventional treatment. In May, the judge issued a temporary order finding Abraham's parents neglectful and awarding partial custody to the county, with Abraham continuing to live at home with his four siblings.

This is almost as bad as those fucked up Jehova's Witnesses that refuse to have blood transfusions that will save their lives coz they somehow were brainwashed into believing that the bible says it is wong.
Bunch of fucking arseholes the lot of them, and what fucking parent calls their fucking kid 'starchild' and expects him to grow up and be well adjusted and normal?!
Sure, by stopping their kid getting the appropriate treatment they do also reduce the chances that he'll pass on the stupidity gene he/she may have inhereted from the parents, but its still a totally shitty thing to do.
The parents should be locked up and the kids taken away and placed with foster parents who will bash some sense into their fucked up heads and force them to eat rare steaks till they snap the hell out of whatever brainwashing they were put under by their screwed up parents!

So, if I kill a kid walking home from school its NOT the same as if I had a kid and prevented him from getting the appropriate medical treatment for a potentially terminal illness that would kill them if stupid shit like changing the diet to exclude any yellow foods with greed dots was followed at the expense of mainstream (proven) cures?
