Web Wednesday: Parents Refuse Cancer Treatment For Son

An arrest warrant has been issued for a Minnesota woman who has reportedly taken off with her 13-year-old son who has cancer.
Daniel Hauser has refused treatment for Hodgkins lymphoma and his parents have supported his decision.
Anthony and Colleen Hauser allowed their son to have one chemotherapy treatment, but then opted for a "natural" treatment because of their Native American religious beliefs (Nemenhah).
When they refused the chemotherapy, the parents were charged with child neglect.
A judge says Daniel Hauser does not have the mental capacity to refuse modern medicine.
The mother and boy failed to show up in court Tuesday.
A doctor testified that the boy's cancer was getting worse and if he goes untreated, he is in grave danger.
The boy's father said the last time he saw his wife and son was on Monday and doesn't know where they are.
It's reported that once Colleen Hauser is found, she will be arrested and Daniel will be put in a foster home.
