This case in Belfast brought to mind some similar cases in recent years, one where the mother of a child diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma went on the run with him in an effort to avoid the recommended chemotherapy, and the other where a couple in Oregon USA who believed in faith healing allowed their 9 hour old son to die rather than seek medical aid.
The question is, i think, should parents have the right to harm or even kill their children in the name of their religion? What is their motivation?

For myself, the question is a no-brainer, and court intervention is absolutely warranted, but i suspect some of the posters here might argue differently.Personally, I just cannot understand what is going through the minds of these parents...........
