I was shocked and sickened to watch our local news last night and hear the story of Chase Sammut.

This little boy has terminal brain cancer and is in a coma at his family home. Last night - police, an ambulance crew and State Social Workers showed up at his house, presented his parents with a court order and removed him from their home!

The reason - the alternative medicine was not the proper method of treatment!!

IT IS TERMINAL BRAIN CANCER!!!! THERE IS NO TREATMENT!

Sorry, but this is the state stepping WWWAAAAYYYYYY over the line. With a diagnosis like that the family should be allowed to try just about any treatment they want to try to save a child.

Here is a link to the family blogg. http://www.chasesammut.blogspot.com/
