"NORFOLK, Va. - 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."

I first heard about this on coast to coast friday night, but read about it now.
I think this is a violation of the families rights, if they want to take alternative medicine, good for them! For all the courts know it might work, it has happened before. Sure as hell is better then kimo...
Imagine if the court said "well, you martial artists don't have the protection we deem necessary, you must quit your school, and buy a gun, we like it better this way."
what do you guys think, violation of rights, or nessesary medical procedure?
I think we should all be free to pursue our own form of medical treatment.
The kid is a minor, let his parents decide what to do with him, the kid agrees with the alternative medicine idea anyway. Screw the courts.
Maybe I am wrong, but if I was the kid. I would feel so screwed by the system.
