The "fuck the government" crowd didn't have much to say when the kid died of cancer, though.
But as per the article: there is no denying of treatment, just wanting to ask a second-opinion. nobody should be arrested for visiting a doctor with an ill child to get an opinion.

I do not take a stand on 'new age' versus 'current scientific' treatments though. The article says nothing about that and the current situation can thus not be judged on that.

Remember the article is all we have to go by right now.
