Not wanting chemo treatment for son- parents charged with kidnapping- Edit

Edit: This is the story:

UTAH

(Rick Egan/The Salt Lake Tribune
Front Page Sept. 2, 2003)
12-year-old Parker Jensen was diagnosed with terminal cancer in April 2003. The Jensens do not want to use the recommended chemotherapy to treat the illness. They have took their child from the hospital and fled from the State's control. The state of Utah, through their Division of Child and Family Services (DCFS) then charged the parents with kidnapping. The mother, Barbara, was in hiding with Parker; and the father, Daren Jensen, after posting $50,000 bail, is working through legal and political channels. The agreement as of Sept. 2 is that Parker will be evaluated by an Oncologist of the Jensen's choice. If the diagnosis is confirmed, Parker must begin chemotherapy immediately. The state will get legal custody of Parker, but the Jensen's will maintain physical custody. And the Jensen's must surrender Parker's passport


We get Utah news, which was why I knew about this one. There was a report about him not long ago, and there's no sign of the disease they were trying to force the parents to make him have the chemo for. He never had the chemo. The family has gone through quite an ordeal. The site gives a run down of the case through the past 5 years as they've gone through court etc.
