A judge ruled that Daniel Hauser must get medical treatment for his cancer.
Hauser, 13, has refused chemotherapy, against the advice of doctors, in his fight against Hodgkin's lymphoma. Hauser and his family have instead opted for "alternative medicines" as his treatment.
District Judge John Rodenberg issued a 60-page ruling saying Hauser has been "medically neglected" and is in need of child protection services.
Colleen and Anthony Hauser will maintain custody of their son, but have until May 19 to get an updated chest x-ray for Daniel and select an oncologist.

The Hauser’s believe that the injection of Chemotherapy into Danny Hauser amounts to an assault upon his body, and torture when it occurs over a long period of time. They believe that it is against the spiritual law to invade the consciousness of another person without their permission.
Forced Chemo - Hauser Family Statement on Ruling
A court-appointed attorney for Daniel, Philip Elbert, called the decision unfortunate. "I feel it's a blow to families. It marginalizes the decisions that parents face every day in regard to their children's medical care. It really affirms the role that big government is better at making our decisions for us."

I just read an article that said Daniel Hauser's family would comply while undergong an appeal.
ReplyDeleteOf course we know the outcome there -- the court of appeals will delay decision until the chemotherapy is done.
I am sorry for what the Daniel Hauser family is going through.
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope Judge John Rodenberg never sleeps soundly again.
