Sorry if there's already a thread. But what is going on here, normally as a fairly level headed person i can see both sides, and can sympathize with the police who have a tough job to do.
But I really don't see the police angle on this one. I can see they would have an interest but, arrest?
the grand mother was on the radio this morning, understandably upset and little biased. But she has accused the hospital of lieing to the police. which makes no sense to me, however they have said he can only be fed via the battery operated tube, yet the parents seem to have a plug in system for the car and the mains?
I don't understand how taking your child out of hospital breaks any law's no matter how ill. it has to be your choice who cares for your kid's?
Whats PH's thoughts. have any laws been broken?

on a quick flick through it seem to have degenerated into a pros and cons of Proton therapy thread.
one of the posters was suggesting that the kid's doctors had sort or are seeking a legal injunction against the parents to prevent them seeking alternative treatments.
is there ant fact in that? again seems like a ridiculous situation. especially as Proton therapy seems to be a good solution (In my very limited understanding) but not available through the NHS, or very difficult to obtain through the NHS?

I have to say I totally despise the way the media has handled this story, they've rally tried to make hay out of it. On a personal level it's a tragedy for the boy and his parents, but somehow it's ended up the headline story almost everywhere.
Yesterday evening on the BBC website it was the top story, below it was a story 'Ukraine crisis: US senators urge arms 'to fight Russia', something that sent a chill down my spine.
The news agenda really is arse about face.
Couldn't agree more the press are really backward at the moment. Yesterday evening on the BBC website it was the top story, below it was a story 'Ukraine crisis: US senators urge arms 'to fight Russia', something that sent a chill down my spine.

The Ukraine situation is very concerning. you got to love the US though, its only 'counterproductive' when the Israel's decide to take more land in the west bank. but hell lets arm the Ukraine! Team America, come to save the mother f*****g Day Yeah!

Once it was obvious the lad was receiving excellent medical treatment it should have been the end of police involvement.
The child is safe, the police's duty of care was fulfilled so any further action is clearly illegal.
And remember, "Just following orders" didn't work as an excuse for the nazis so why hide behind it.
OK we don't have all the facts but this would make sense to me. Ive have no malice towards the police and have a healthy respect for them and what they do. they acted on the information given and found the family. but I don't see where this is going now, or how its now in the public interest? The child is safe, the police's duty of care was fulfilled so any further action is clearly illegal.
