A Florida judge ruled Monday that the parents of a 4-year-old boy with leukemia lost their bid Monday to regain custody after their struggle with the state over giving him chemotherapy.

Noah McAdams was removed from his parents' custody in April when they skipped a chemotherapy session and left the state in pursuit of alternative treatments. Noah's parents, Taylor Bland and Joshua McAdams, and their fight for natural cancer treatment garnered national attention after a multi-state police search ensued when they skipped the chemotherapy appointment and took Noah for a consultation in Cincinnati, Ohio, with an alternative medicine practitioner.

StefanMolyneux I’d love to know your thoughts on the State intervening to this degree. It seems like the best thing for the child but doesn’t this mean parents have less right to make decisions about their children than the government? What alternative could there have been?

I am happy they didn't get custody. These young dumb parents are idiots. I have CML (Leukemia) and not getting your meds, well you will die. Denying ur child the right to life is well..murder. This young generation spreads disease/destruction. Ignorance has spread like wildfire.

even snake venom introduced into your veins will initially bring ur hemoglobin count up.. doesn't make it therapy

Everyone assumes that alternative medicine is quackery. Brainwashing.

JBStonestreet Agree or disagree with the parents' decision, should the state be revoking custody over this?
