I trust they will continue to uphold the precedent. The problem as I see it here was caused by the parents who have attempted to refute medical evidence and discredit the guardian. The fact the courts exist to settle things like this is not a bad thing, IMO. The bad thing is that the parents refused to accept the reality of their daughter's situation for 15 years.
