Being a parent myself, I can totally understand how these parents feel. They are probably very scared and confused. They said they didn't feel the doctors were being upfront with them on the effects of the radiation. From the sounds of it, Katies parents are good people looking out for the best interest of their daughter. I can't say I blame them. Cancer treatmant is hard on the whole family especially when they are told their daughter is in remission.
As for the "Amber Alert", The girl was with her parents. She was not kidnapped. To use the "Amber Alert" system in that way undermines the whole system. When it is a real emergency, people won't listen. They issued the alert on an anonymus tip of POSSIBLE neglect, no proof.
It seems none of this would have even happened if the doctors would have answered the parents completely until they fully understood what was happening to their daughter.
