Authorities on lookout for Minn. woman, 13-year-old son with cancer in California, Mexico
NEW ULM, Minn. (AP) -- Authorities in Minnesota say the search for a woman and her sick 13-year-old son remains focused in southern California and Mexico. The Brown County sheriff's department said Sunday it is continuing to look for Daniel Hauser, who has Hodgkin's lymphoma, and his mother Colleen, who is refusing to allow chemotherapy treatment for her son. They were expected in court Tuesday. But The FBI says they left their home in Sleepy Eye, Minn., that day for Los Angeles. Doctors say Daniel has a cancerous tumor growing in his chest that's likely to kill him without chemotherapy, but his family prefers natural healing methods. The American Cancer Society estimates there are 35 to 50 clinics in Mexican border towns that attract cancer patients looking for alternative remedies.

I certainly hope that after his 'forced treatment' the government will pay 100% of his Harvard edumacation for his extended life of which making a choice 'career' work at WallyWorld food counter isn't an option....unless of course the government deems it necessary for the collective 'WE'....
and besides what happens to folks who dont have health insurance(HOT BUTTON ISSUE FOR POLITICOS)and they do NOT send their kids to the MD for the needed treatment lack of $$???? Does anyone track them down and pay for it????
I guess these folks shouldn't have approach an MD or had health insurance.....once in the system---you are marked......welcome to our future of what??
NATIONAL HEALTH CARE..........leave your guns at the door please and place your finger on this pad and look into this light....ha ha ha ha ha ha
who all lives behind SI behind KAPL who all lives behind the giant GE, the giant GE, the giant GE......we all live in a yellow submarine...blah blah....

Mother accepts chemo mandate for sick son NEW ULM, Minn. — A mother who took her son out of state because he refused court-ordered chemotherapy for his cancer told a judge Tuesday she now believes the treatment is necessary to save his life. The judge then ruled Daniel Hauser can stay with his parents. Thirteen-year-old Daniel has Hodgkin’s lymphoma that an oncologist who examined him Monday said has significantly worsened. Daniel and his mother, Colleen Hauser, missed a court appearance last week and left the state to seek alternative treatments. But both his parents told the judge they now understand their son needs chemotherapy and will set aside their religious objections to it. When Judge John Rodenberg asked an emotional Colleen Hauser if she now believes chemotherapy is necessary to save her son’s life, she replied, “Yes I do.”
Boy who resisted chemo improves SLEEPY EYE, Minn. — X-rays show the tumor in the chest of a 13-year-old boy who resisted treatment has shrunk significantly after two courses of court-ordered chemotherapy, a family spokesman said Monday. However, family friend and spokesman Daniel Zwakman said the side effects of the treatment for Hodgkin’s lymphoma have left Danny Hauser weak and miserable. It’s been 11 days since Danny’s latest treatment and still “most of his day is spent on the couch,” Zwakman said. Danny received a single treatment of chemotherapy in February but stopped after enduring the harsh side effects. The family insisted on alternative medicine inspired by American Indian traditions. When Brown County authorities attempted to compel the Hausers to treat the cancer conventionally, Danny and his mother fled the state for about a week in May.
