POPULATION CONTROL AND PARENTS LOSE RIGHTS DECIDING WHAT IS BEST FOR THEIR CHILD

More and more evidence is surfacing on how the state and federal=20
governments are using population control measures to kill off extra=20
numbers slowly, killing our children, middle aged, and elders. They=20
use cancer and other diseases, etc.! They also let doctors experiment=20
on people of all ages, even children. They are now taking parents=20
rights away, and not allowing them to get second opinions and forcing=20
their patients and child patients to take drugs, and chemotherapy=20
treatments, etc., through state and federal laws. If you are a=20
parent, REALIZE THE STATE WILL FORCE YOUR CHILD TO UNDERGO TREATMENTS=20
WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION OR DESIRE AND NOT ALLOW YOU TO SEEK OUT OTHER=20
OPINIONS! PARENTS HAVE LOST ALL RIGHTS TO DECIDE WHAT IS BEST FOR=20
THEIR CHILD!=20

(August 29) - A 12-year-old boy remains in hiding with his mother=20
while authorities in Utah battle to have him returned to undergo=20
court-ordered chemotherapy to treat what they say is deadly bone=20
cancer.

Daren and Barbara Jensen fled Utah with their son, Parker, on Aug. 8,=20
after the state ordered that the cancer-stricken boy be placed in=20
state custody so that he can receive chemotherapy.

On Aug. 15, Utah prosecutors filed kidnapping charges against the=20
couple. Daren Jensen was arrested Aug. 16 in Idaho, where he is now=20
fighting extradition to Utah. The whereabouts of Parker and his=20
mother are unknown.

The story began three months ago, when Parker was diagnosed with=20
Ewing's sarcoma, a deadly form of bone cancer. Doctors at Primary=20
Children's Medical Center in Salt Lake City said Parker needs=20
chemotherapy, and that he has only a 5 percent chance of survival=20
without it. A Salt Lake City court agreed, and ordered the parents to=20
have the boy undergo the treatment.=20

But the boy's family disagreed. They question the accuracy of the=20
test that led to his cancer diagnosis, said Parker's uncle, Tracy=20
Jensen.=20

"Ewing's sarcoma normally appears in the bone, but Parker's was a=20
tumor in the mouth," Jensen said. "The hospital wanted chemotherapy=20
right away. But we wanted a second opinion. They wouldn't let us get=20
one, and before you knew it, my brother and his family were on the=20
run."

Rick Jaffe, the family lawyer, contends that life-and-death=20
decisions, such as whether to undergo chemotherapy, should be made by=20
a child's parents, not the state. The parents did allow Parker to=20
undergo surgery to have the tumor removed, but they do not believe he=20
needs chemotherapy at this point.

"There is no scientific evidence whatsoever that you need=20
chemotherapy for this particular kind of basically mild cancer,"=20
Jaffe said. "All the evidence really relates to this full-blown bone=20
involvement where you have very sick kids."

He said that the hospital and the state have interfered with the=20
parents getting an objective second opinion to see if their belief=20
that Parker has the mild form of the cancer is confirmed.

"They have the best intentions for Parker and want to figure out the=20
exact treatment for this," Tracy Jensen said. "They want to sit down=20
in an environment where they can talk about this. This is a very rare=20
form of Ewing's sarcoma, which has manifested itself in the soft=20
tissue in the mouth and they say it's a bone disease."

The Jensens have located a pediatric oncologist who will treat and=20
evaluate Parker, Jaffe said.

"The problem is, we can't bring him to him, because as soon as we=20
show up, the mother will be arrested and the child hauled off by=20
force to Utah," the lawyer said.

He also said Parker appears healthy.=20

"I'm not a doctor, but he looks healthy. He looks normal," Jaffe=20
said. "He doesn't look sick and he doesn't look like any cancer=20
patient I have ever seen. He looks like a great normal kid with a=20
normal energy level for a 12-year-old boy."

State Says It Wants to Protect Parker

The Utah Attorney General's Office says it is concerned about=20
Parker's welfare, and that the state has every right to step in to=20
protect a child.=20

"We are very concerned with the health of this young boy and the=20
surrounding issues of state power vs. parental responsibility," the=20
office said in a statement. "Parents have a natural and fundamental=20
right to direct the medical care of their child =97 but if in making=20
that decision they place the child's very life in substantial danger,=20
the Supreme Court has determined that the State has an obligation to=20
step in. In other words, a child has a fundamental right, independent=20
of a parent's wishes, to live."

Tracy Jensen says the family fears that Parker will only get worse,=20
and may even die, if he is subjected to chemotherapy.=20

"Chemotherapy is a horrible and painful thing to deal with,=20
especially for a child," he said. "It may also leave him sterile and=20
stunt his growth. We want other options. And we fear it will take him=20
to the brink of death, and we don't want that, especially when there=20
is no evidence that his cancer is what the doctors say it is."

Parents Barred From Hospital

The legal charges against the parents have complicated the issue,=20
Jaffe said. If his mother tries to bring Parker to any hospital, she=20
will be arrested, he said.=20

"They [the parents] are fugitives from the law and they will be=20
handcuffed, and Parker will be taken back to Utah and undergo=20
chemotherapy," Jaffe said.=20=20

The family would like Parker to take genetic and blood tests, Tracy=20
Jensen said. They do not want to rush and have chemotherapy if there=20
is no evidence the cancer is still there.=20

Jaffe says the best solution for everyone would be for the police to=20
drop the charges and allow the family to return to Utah so that=20
Parker could undergo other tests at another hospital.=20=20=20
