I'm 15 and I have a Brain tumor. I went through 6 years of chemo and I’m in all honors classes. So I don't think my brain is fried.
💖
LOL, you're in all AP classes, but you don't know how to spellcheck?
+FagTran The Great she said all honors. Can't you read? Smh, picking on a 14 year old kid
Kpop Lover wow great job!!
Kpop Lover keep on going girl!
Oh, and she fully understand plastic surgery and its consequences, right?
You noticed that too, huh? What a dumb, horrible mother.
Amélie Sirois she probably didnt want to do it because all off her plastic surgery money would be gone because she has to spend it on her sons chance of living. What a horrible mother
Naomh Moules She reminds me of someone who belives more in beliefs and doesn't understand sciences. Sad.
Naomh Moules 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐁🐁🐁🐁🐁🐁🐁🐁🐁🐁😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈
ooohhhhhh STRAIGHT UP SAVAGEEEE
I don't understand electricity, but I use it everyday
So on point ☝🏽 👌🏿
sAmEEE
JustLolly no its not
Dumb.
JustLolly you are smart
I have cancer, although my cancer is very rare & ive been on 5 different chemo protocols that haven't worked, chemo has stabilised me so far & I could never refuse it! Chemo is toxic & extremely hard but I feel like it's worth the chance of surviving!
Praying for you and your family, I've seen people go through chemo and I know how insanely tough it can be. You're extremely strong and brave. I'm sending love your way. Hope you can enjoy the holidays!
Shauntelle Tynan I had cancer at 5 years old. you will be OK, what kind of cancer do you have?
Shauntelle Tynan organic raw vegan diet will overload your body so it can heal itself. Then when healed you can eat some cooked food
big bal Do... do you think that a vegan diet will cure cancer? Do you have any basic understanding of science in any capacity?
I had histiocytosis x when I was 4 a rare blood cancer
she'd rather have her son die soon than risk getting his brain "fried"?
AmeliaDavis100 yes. but its a tumor in his brain. look up how people die from it. even if he lives 2 years, he'd be 10 and die in agony.
i would never let doctors remove my tumor
Devin Campbell well if u don't then I might die so....
amanda agnew heres a thing though, depending on the stage of cancer, you only have a certain percent of chance living after getting treatment.
My dad had stage 4 stomach cancer, and it ended up getting into his bones, and into his brain. This all took 2 years, WITH chemo, radiation, and surgeries, and he still died.
But he definitely lived LONGER than what a person would without the treatment.
Plus, whether or not you get treatment, the death will still be slow and painful, as your body begins collapsing, your lungs fill with concrete like mucus, and your heart fights to stay alive. The person only suffers for as long as they want. It all depends on how long theyre determined to live for, while suffering. My dad lasted 23 hours with shitty breathing. I stayed up all day and night for him, and most of my family members were there. It was tragic, really. And when he was dying, we couldnt call 911 because he had hauspice (i think thats how its spelt?). And even if we could call 911, I doubt there'd be much they can do
What I was thinking too!
Update for anyone who is wondering: this case went to court and the little boy is now receiving treatment despite his parents objections.
Elizabeth Troha they appealed and now all treatment has ended
final update: the child passed away in December of 2016.
RainbowMcFuzzy so tragic.
Hallelujah
So sad. Like those cases where parents insist prayer is only treatment and kids die cuz freedom of religion. Sux.
She has the 'I want to see the manager' haircut...
xD
She has the “I want my child to die because I want to spend his life insurance on more lip plumper and awful haircuts kinda face” she should be charged with voluntary manslaughter if he passes.
Idiot brainwashed by pharmaceutical don't have enough brains to understand exploitation and propaganda. So stupid. She did the right thing. And knows way better than you idiot.
America Bless God you do know the kid died two years ago because of a lack of treatment right?
Emmiee Loulou lol
How will she live with herself knowing she let her son die?
She'll say I don't know if my child died or not
If that was my mom I would hate her. Playing with the child's life. How dare you...poor kid
yeah let my kid have no brain cells left and be a vegetable .... no id rather die.
louis portalatin please inform yourself on the process of treatment and the effects. My best friend has brain cancer and he's been through multiple rounds of chemo and he's not a vegetable, he has a fighting chance because of this
This mom does what she thinks is best for her son, but she thinks wrong obviously.
louis portalatin Have you had radiation therapy as you seem to lack brain cells 😂😂
Yeah thats terrible those are proven to work or at least lengthen his life poor kid
Where's child protective services?
Jared Sullivan same man same
That's not child abuse.
ya, its just some parents casually letting their child die. The thing that I can't understand is that she knows he will die without it, no doubt, so why won't she just go for it and he might live.
The Mother has a point. They want to treat the cancer with two things that cause cancer!!! How does that make sense?? and that is what she is saying she does not understand. Her concern is valid.
but he has a better chance of living with treatment. without it, the child will die without a doubt.
The mom dead look like the evil mom from Coraline.
simpleplanfan011 I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY THAT
simpleplanfan011 RIGHT??
simpleplanfan011 You do realize the night I slept after I watched this video, I had a damn nightmare about being held hostage by my other mother and her house looked like a decayed version of mine with lots of rats (who were drowned in buckets), and my wonderful alarm saved me, still I'm s h o o k .
Shes the kind of mom who thinks she knows better than doctors who have studied this for years and STILL will blame the hospital when the kid dies.
Temmie UT Kid: *dies*
Mom: ummmm how tf did y’all not save him?
Doctors: we told you he needed treatment
Mom: no why couldn’t you cut the tumor out
Doctors: because we couldn’t do that
Mom: ummmmm? I saw an episode of greys anatomy once sooo????? Aren’t you a doctor???
They shouldnt be allowed to deny treatment, they should be arrested for child abuse.
i've known many people who have undergone chemotherapy, they didn't last much longer on this earth because of it, it often kills you faster if you undergo chemotherapy, as opposed to seeking alternative treatment, chemotherapy should be illegal my friend, it is deadly poison, that works on some occasions, but it often kills you. i've witnessed it. forcing medical care on a person, is fascism, do you love nazi germany!
so violate their rights huh, you fascist piece of garbage!
steven vegas1 what about the child’s right to live?
steven vegas1 where are you getting your information? Are you a medical professional?
I had Ovarian Cancer at 9 years. I had chemo, and I can admit that chemo is something I'll never forget. It was hell on earth, and i still have to have my lungs checked out once a year because of the kind of chemo I had, but I also have 3 beautiful children (that they said I wouldn't be able to have) and an amazing husband. It was all worth it in the end.
Me, I get to see the face of my beautiful daughter as well as my fiance every day.
I found out in late Feb 2005 that I had breast cancer. My fiance found out it was Stage IV when it was found. By asking my doctor about any future kids.we found out it was triggered by me getting pregnant. And made us realize that if I hadn't gone thru chemo when I did. I would have been dead by summer time of 2005.
Amanda Please god bless you
You are so strong and inspiring 🤗🤗🤗🤗
God bless you 💕
I was diagnosed with this type of tumor at 17... don't know how she couldn't give her child the choice . Rather have the chance of having my brain fried from the chemo then dead
Yes! Thank god it was able to be mostly removed and the little bit of radiation I needed didn't do much. I had to relearn balance completely from square 1 but yes! Thanks for asking!
Heather Bornstein you seem fine xx congrats on your recovery :)))
Heather Bornstein my fiancé had cancer and I can't tell a difference cause his brain was fried before hand 😂😂
Heather Bornstein what were your first signs of it
I feel like she wants to get rid of him as soon as possible
you and you're stupid doctors , who support a murderous idea, are killing innocent people with your stupidity.
Tbh it seems like someone else's brain is fried
This woman is clearly crazy.
I'm not agreeing with her at all. I think the child should decide! Even at his age. In saying that though, I completely understand her concern. Chemo's overall success rate is 3%. Plus it can ruin what might be the last of your days. It's always a might, which sucks but I'll be praying for the child :(
Amy Bennett No, the child shouldn't decide.
He doesn't understand how valuable life is at his age and he wouldn't have the opportunity to find out if he decided against the treatment.
Amy Bennett 3%???
That's entirely incorrect.
*Stupid
Indzzgracey did you not see the news? He died already. It’s so sad.
My brother had brain cancer but he is completely cancer free because of chemo and radiation and his brain is not fried at all... His brain is very healthy now and he is a straight A student.
Congratulations :) I'm glad your brother is doing so well!
awsome man great to hear that #fuckcancer
I'm a mom, I have at the moment, a incurable cancer. I don't like having chemo, but I want to give myself every fighting chance I can to be with my child. And I would do everything to make sure my child gets better if she had it. I know people do it for religious Reasons, but I'm sorry, the health of your child is more important than your religious beliefs. I respect everyone's rights to believe what they want, however, if my dr told me that my child has a 80% survival rate with meds,than with out them, I'm going to put aside my beliefs and have my child treated. That's not saying I wouldn't believe in my religion anymore, it's saying that there are some things more important than not doing a lifesaving orocedure, because my religion frowns on it. Just saying
Thank you so much for posting this. My dad had PNH and fought for 10 years and had chemo. I saw the hell Chemo put him through but I know he was fighting for his kids. Thank you
Heather Brenton your welcome love. 🌹💜
Also, if you have religious beliefs and you are an adult who refuses treatment fine, but you should not be able to force those beliefs on the child when it comes to their health. There are places where parents are exempt from taking their child to the hospital because of their religious beliefs and that is absolutely wrong.
Life with a service dog and life in general PREACH IT🙏🏻💛
Life with a service dog and life in general and I really hope you're doing okay xx I'm so sorry :)))
BTW he died in December 2016.
Cyn V So sad,😢
😢 That's so sad. Maybe if she would've done something, he could live. Bless him, he's in a better place now
Cyn V. That's horrible, this should be charged as child abuse 😢😢😢
Cyn V I hope she regretted her choices as a terrible parent.... she murdered her son
Poor kid. He had so much life ahead of him. R.i.p
She is insane, I would do anything to save my baby's life.
Like paying 100k+ to the doctors to put him through radiation that will destroy his body completely and age him 15years in just 2 ?
She's killing her son. How unfair to the kid.
Do your research please!
so ignorant lol idiot
+AnahataOnline do my research? I know how cancer works. She sounds as stupid as an anti vaxer. You have doctors telling you how it works. She'd rather watch her son waste away from a disease that has a treatment rather than have her son get the treatment and live. I stand by my statement. She is killing her son.
Jacob Delorme ignorant
Cancer is killing her son
Mum looks like the other mother from coraline
Mossy Deer Bones IKR 😂
She should have have her child taken from her custody
No its her choice and there are herbs and juices that help with cancer my mum is studying to become a naturopath and she has done the research that has proven that u don't need chemo
Pixel Enchanted well then why hasn't research been published and treatments been implemented using herbs? Don't get me wrong. I'm all for natural remedies, IF they work. But they don't, and chemo/radiation have been proven. Maybe not with a 100% guarantee against remission, but... What I don't understand is, if she doesn't understand, why isn't she trying to? Are you willing to sit on your A** and watch your child die a slow and painful death because YOU don't understand period end of story? Not me. Not my boys.
Pixel Enchanted
shes killling her child. Natural stuff is fine but this is different. Its not her choice to make her child suffer, shes chosing to kill him. She is not even doing the natural shit
You are a heartless moron saying such a nonsense.
Nobody loves a child more than their parents, therefore no court shall ever have the power to overturn a parents medical decision, for the court doesn´t love the child.
Only a loving parent must have the privilege to make medical decisions for minors. Everything else is slavery and an abomination to God himself.
Ignorance kills. Yeah, obviously radiation can be harmful but it's better than death.
Do you not know anything about the cancer and pharmaceutical industries?
AnahataOnline Enlighten me.
you ae ignorant
Devereaux Thanks for that insight.
PREACH!!!!!!!!!!
at least if he gets treatment and he passes on , they can say they did everything to help him but don't sit there have that little baby go through each day the tumor is literally in war with his body. that is not fair at all . I pray that he lives a long beautiful life
Ericka Jackson why give he child the treatment that would make him feel even more sick and weak? chemo kills all he cells in your body, not just the cancer cells and most people who survive the cancer end up battling organ failure due to the chemo. just let him go peacefully instead of prolonging and worsening his suffering.
Autumn Cheyenne that's like saying your taking a test and you do not the answers to the rest so you straight up do not take the test , you will get a straight up zero for not even trying , but if you where to at least guess you have higher odds of making something better than a zero. so yet we know he will die within a year can we at least try to save his life. why watch your child suffer in pain for an entire year until he dies . then say he had a good life no he did not
Ericka Jackson Cannabis has been found to have a higher success rate with curing cancer than chemo. Chemo is out there to make big pharma money, not to help people. Please do a little reaserch on the real success rates of chemo, the death rates of those who suffer illness from chemo, and the truth about chemo and the pharmacy companies. Many many doctors will tell you that your digging your grave faster by using chemo.
Jesus, you're dumb. Cannabis doesn't cure cancer. It helps with the pain and side effects that chemo causes.
+Abby Lowe chemo has a success rate of less than 3%. It's a carcinogenic which means it damages DNA and cells. What causes cancer? Damaged DNA cells. If you get chemo once, you are likely to get it a second time. Not only that, but it is very costly! It's a continuous inflow of money from sick people to big businesses. I don't want to be a preacher but many cures have been discovered by people and have been covered up by proclamations that the people cured were wrongfully diagnosed. It's a very interesting thing to look into. Strongly recommend you research some of it :)
I think she should have not said, "I don't understand it." She should have said, "I firmly believe that these two methods of treatment cause and worsen the illness, and I'd like to explore other options." If she believes the two treatments to be carcinogens which some people do, she should have asked for other options. I ask for other options at the doctors office all the time. If I don't like a side affect weight gain etc., "Call me vain. I'm not taking it."
This is a prime example of how some doctors fail in working with their patients. If the oncologist sat down with the parents and explained specifically how chemo and radiation work, why they sometimes don't work, and why they are also considered "carcinogenic." The mom said she didn't understand, and her son's doctors didn't do anything about it.
Someone call CPS and take the child from that pathetic woman and treat his cancer :(
For those who doesn't understand how toxic things work against toxic things:
1) A LOT of the medicines against almost anything is toxic for some part of our body. Example: antivirals, antibiotics, antifungicide, anti-paracite treatments. However: we are only supposed to take it till whatever is bothering us dies, and then the body will be allowed to recover to a better state than it was it while being sick
2) cancer therapies that use things that themselves cause cancer work in this way: cells have different ways to achieve the same result - this is a mechanism that should ensure that cells do what they need to do to survive. In cancer cells, there are often 6-10 mistakes in important biochemical pathways (ways to create the necessary nutrients etc) before the cell begins to devide uncontrollably and spread. Cancerous cells often seem strong because they don't care about what happens to the rest of the body. However, cancerous cells are actually weak: they have 6-10 mistakes that often lead to several necessary pathways being non-functional... but as mentioned before: there are back-up plans for most things. What the cancer treatments are supposed to do it to remove those back-up plans/remaining pathways. Although this will be damaging to normal cells, they still have those pathways that the cancerous cells lacked, and are in this way still able to survive. A cell can take a certain amount of damage before it isn't able to restore itself back to normal and develops into cancer. The cancer treatments try to damage the body just enough to kill off the cancer cells, but not enough to give cancer other places
It's already explained in the comment: cells can take a certain amount of abuse before mutating, and this amount one tries to choose in such a way that there is not as much effects of this. Most cancer drugs are mutagenic and cancerogenic (you can read a little about secondary cancer after chemotherapy here, but generally, bladder, testicular and leukemia are the most common secondary cancers: www.cancer.org/cancer/cancercauses/othercarcinogens/medicaltreatments/secondcancerscausedbycancertreatment/second-cancers-caused-by-cancer-treatment-chemotherapy).
In cases where you have a child who lives and MAYBE gets cancer in 10-15 year, or dies in a few months - what is really better? With some cancers, like lung cancer, which is impossible to kill, one might want to just live untill you die - the time you have left is short, and it's better to not spend it doing chemo. Same with very old people: quality of life is better than slightly longer, low-quality life. BUT, in the case of a child, if the cancer is treatable, I'd say that it's definitely worth a shot if this is the only way to kill the cancer and maybe get it to stay away too. If people live for longer, they might live to the day where a good treatment for their new cancer already has been found Armando T.
My grandmother had breastcancer now has skincancer, my grandfather probably has prostate cancer, my other grandmother might have leukemia and my other grandfather died from liver cancer. It's a scary disease.
Eline Deurloo Awww. I'm sorry for your lost :(
Wonho's Cock thank you.
sorry for your loss, my grandma passed away from i believe liver cancer and i never met her.
Janelle Thank you. That really sucks.
You might want to get yourself checked out often
how is this even legal?
I'm all for parental rights and stuff, but she's putting her son's life in danger and CPS needs to step in!
+Goundi Two Moons You don't know him well enough to have a problem with him .Mind your damn business. That's his opinion , but no one asked for yours.
Parental rights should be overridden when the child may die at the hands of their parents!
There should be a law that if your child's chance of survival is over 30% then you are required to have some form of treatment.
I hope that the government gets involved.
over my 42 year life span, I have known a lot of people who had cancer and not a single one of them was saved by chemo!
I suspect the mother knows more than what was portrayed in this clip. I would guess that she is most likely choosing alternative treatments. If that's the case parents should have that option. She is absolutely correct when she says chemotherapy is a carcinogen. Alternative treatments work without side effects. They make the body strong and the immune system strong. They help the body rebuild. This is suppressed from being taught in medical schools because there is no money in natural therapies. No way to patent it. And it doesn't keep you a returning patient.
YOU are NOT a doctor. DOCTORS are trained to SAVE PEOPLE'S LIVES. THEY are the experts. NOT YOU. If THE DOCTORS say that chemotherapy is the best option if they want their child to LIVE, then she should get him the chemotherapy WITHOUT QUESTION. She is a BAD MOTHER. No mother that LOVES AND WANTS THE BEST for HER CHILD would REFUSE to listen to a TRAINED PROFESSIONAL. NO IFS, NO BUTS. SHE IS KILLING HER CHILD. THOSE STUPID HERBAL TEA TREATMENTS OR "ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS" WILL NOT WORK IF THE DOCTOR BELIEVES IT WON'T. IF YOU BELIEVE SOME KIND OF ESSENTIAL OIL IS GOING TO SAVE THAT CHILD THEN YOU ARE MENTALLY ILL AND SHOULD SEE A THERAPIST IMMEDIATELY.
ofmg I can't believe a MOTHER of a CHILD won't even bother trying to figure out how a process that is supposed to save her "loved one" in this case HER OWN SON works because of the selfishness in this woman, poor child. He can't even make his own decision cause he's only 6 years old! Parents are legally responsible for doing as much as they can for the best of the child, and this whole story is completely against it... absolutely disgusting.
Sabrina Brown here in America to what I've been told you cant deny a child treatment. For example of your religion says you cant accept treatment from a docoter. You are by law required to take your child until he is old enough to decide on his own. It might be the same with a case like this but im not sure.
YOU CAN SEE IT IN HER EYES THAT THE LADY IS NUTTS..PLEASE TAKE THE KID FROM HER
idiot, are people this ignorant?
People always assume she is a terrible person but chemicals and radiation are not a small thing. It is immensely painful and not a joke.
i have thyroid cancer and i say thank you to all the medical treatments.
I hope she gets arrested for negligence leading to death. She is killing her child.
Yes the government needs to step in.
Cancer is killing her son.
B Cool but the fact that she's refusing treatment for him simply because she "doesn't understand it" means her negligence is allowing the cancer to kill him, which means she's killing him.
Winter Phoenix Gaming It would give him the chance to live. Yes, chemo would make him ill, but if it meant killing the cancer then it's worth it. His quality of life is already horrible b/c he's not getting the necessary treatment to kill the cancer that is taking away his quality of life.
Winter Phoenix Gaming Because you don't just fight cancer off. It's a disease. You obviously don't know how cancer works. If there's no action against it, it grows. Malignant cancer cells multiply until it takes over vital organs. My grandfather died of cancer, my friend's mother is in the process of fighting it, my cousin BEAT breast cancer b/c of the chemotherapy and radiation. Don't try and lecture me about how cancer works, buddy. Yes, there are cancer patients that end up dying regardless of chemotherapy, like my grandfather did, but the chemotherapy didn't bring about his death. The ones that die even with chemo usually don't catch it early enough. And don't even try and ask me how I know the chemo didn't kill him b/c I watched him die when I was only 12 years old. The image of him struggling to breathe because the cancer took over his lungs is seared into my brain.
the doctor oncologist cant move his face. 😊🙄😙😋😆😅😄
He looks exactly like Jenifer Lawrence to me
harold gem alago
Too much botox
I think someone won the award for number 1 mom of the year
that's pretty horrible thst she is denying his only chance of surviving right now. but it also fucking pisses me the fuck off that they have the cure for cancer but will never use it. this world we live in is disgusting
Please see my video about several garden variety weeds that have been proven to cure cancer. It's no coincidence they've all been demonized. The truth is that people can cure themselves... they don't need doctors.
+Lone Wolf Vegan Warrior I agree! So many people have found cures and treated many but have been threatened with jail time and so on for providing cures that do not coincide with funding the government and pharmaceutical companies :(
Amy Bennett Absolutely Amy. The author of the book "Cancer is not a Disease," Andreas Moritz, was reported to have suddenly died from "mold inhalation" in his early 40s. In his last video he was glowing with health. Some people believe he either fled to Europe after threats to his family or was poisoned like Dr. Max Gerson (arsenic was found in his blood). But the truth is getting out!
+Lone Wolf Vegan Warrior so many stories like it! It's ridiculous. The world will one day know
+Ashley Skye I believe there are many
I don't think she is in her right mind (seems medicated as to what or how much I'm not sure).. Her thinking is clouded.
Someone please steal that child and get him proper treatment.
Geeze that should be classified as child abuse. Parents refuse medical treatment.
For anyone watching this and not understanding...I am a mother who has lost a child who had a low grade brain tumor. She did not die from her tumor, she died from her treatment. The tumor needed to be resected completely and she could have survived but I was talked into chemo and radiation. The radiation caused a high grade tumor that killed her. Had I not done the radiation she would have lived, should have lived. I don't know this mom or what her options are or what her reasons for not wanting therapy are but I do know that had I trusted my instincts my daughter would not have died the horrible, and I mean horrible death that she did.
I don’t understand my homework so I’m going to refuse it.
There is a chance that the kid may suffer trough some couple rounds of chemo which can add on 7+ years to the child, may suffer a while to live a better and get back up on living. . Now, you put that child trough suffering for 8 months in pain and still loose his life. Thats just mean. No one enjoys something that hurts them.
I don't understand how a mother could just refuse help for their child. It's painful to know that there are people like that. That they won't take the chance to save a life.
I’m a bone cancer survivor. Chemo was rough, but this is absolutely heartbreaking to see
Take him away from those psychos. You can see how crazy the mom is just by looking at her
I mean, her way of thinking is actually something a lot of people severely lack. "This doesn't make sense to me, therefore I question it." too many people just happily swallow any pill they're given without so much as a "Please explain this to me in a way that I will understand it, I need to be educated before I make this decision." Totally legit to say "Why poison my small child when he's ALREADY sick?"
However I do highly agree with the oncologist too. It's a shitty situation either route they choose, so if you want the kid to have a shot at living for a few more decent years, then you may have to take the rough and bumpy road in order to achieve that.
Ketogenic diet
My dad took chemo for a year, and it just made his life miserable and costed millions of dollars and of course didn’t work
The mother is a narcissist. She thinks she knows everything, but WHO are the doctors?!
I had cancer, and I didn’t understand it, but I had radiation therapy. It hurt, a lot, especially over time, but it saved my life. And I am grateful for the entire team that helped me.
There's plenty of ways to treat cancer, without using chemotherapy, no one said the woman was going to not treat her son, just that she wasn't using chemotherapy. A lot of Chemo patients even if they do beat cancer just have it recur because of chemotherapy.
My boyfriend's mom refused chemo and with in a few month she was cured just from going vegan and living a healthier life. I don't know how I feel about the whole thing.
I’ve had cancer 3 times and fight against skin cancer still. Over 50 pre-cancer lesions.
I’ve said yes to so many surgeries, lasers and chemicals THAT I DONT UNDERSTAND.
I’m on meds that I don’t understand.....gosh lady.....give your kid a chance at life!
After studying childhood cancer, she made the RIGHT decision!!!
There has to be a balance between parents' rights over their children, and those children's civil rights as individual citizens. Endangering their life is not something parents should be able to do. The treatment is proven effective, it's the most effective, and the parents shouldn't have the right to choose to allow their child to die when there is treatment available which could save their life. Furthermore, children under the age of majority shouldn't get to choose to die on the basis of "their" beliefs, because at such a young age you are usually parroting the beliefs your parents have spoon-fed to you. For something as irreversible as death, children aping the talking points of their parents is not enough to say, "okay, sure, we'll let you refuse life-saving treatment". No. Not when dealing with someone whose abstract thinking abilities have yet to fully form.
I feel bad for the kid tbh.. 😒
1:12 that smile will give me nightmares forever
Poor kid :( he doest deserve a mom like this.
The treatment is awful
+Abby Lowe there is no way to tell. People who have refused treatment have miraculously been rid of cancer while others have lived on for years. There are strong studies from both sides. I just think this mother wants her sons value of life to be excelling, and doesn't want his last moments to be sad in a hospital bed.
+Amy Bennett What the fuck is wrong with you?
snowieskiesabove What's wrong with YOU?
+snowieskiesabove nothing- I'm just understanding of her decision.
does anyone know the outcome of the child's health right now?

Apparently still alive and protecting his mom.
I had brain cancer and cannot believe being 6 and not being treated.
Very sorry for everything
I don't understand the laws of physics
But really. Dr. Travis... honey!!!!
I don't understand cars but if a car could save my life I'd take a car.
I struggle with this personally. my son has gone through treatment for stage 4 cancer, he is alive and struggles with finding a normal life. It deffinetly affected his brain. But he is alive he is now 23 and said he will not do it again. I struggle. But his life is not what is was not even close.
Is this woman for realshe prefer see her son dying in agony than do something about it. Just because she don't understand it she is a pathetic excuse of human being poor little boy
I understand where shebis coming from. I have seen what it can do to people. So sad.
I hope that kid is safe 😔🙏🏾❤️
My mom died of cancer but never had chemo she lasted 2 years.
First anti-vax parents, now this mother
Who else got an ad on how to stop cancer😂
Kimberly Keyes its not funny
Cupckake Love I never said it was funny ? 🙄
Kimberly Keyes why did you add that laughing emoji ?
Cupckake Love Because of the coincidence .. I never said cancer itself was funny.
That’s murder plain and simple .
80% survival rate! Do you know how many people with cancer wish for odds like that? And she just spat in the face of those odds.
And I just checked the little boy died after his parents denied him treatment. (Late December 2016)
I don't understand how she can stand by and not try and fight for her sones life because "she doesn't understand". Well get off you flaming backside and go talk, read, watch what ever you have to so you can understand it and help your little boy!!!!
I can't believe she's so lazy she's literally willing to let her son die rather than educate herself. Besides, if I that something would save my child's life, I wouldn't go against it simply because I don't understand it. My child shouldn't be punished in the worst way because I am ignorant.
Her son is going to die.
I have leukemia and I think that mom should be arrested. She's killing her child
Also I'm in remission

I honestly 100% think she should be prosecuted for child neglect.
My grandma underwent chemo and radation when I was young and it worsened everything.
Raquel How so?
well it kills good and bad cells, of course it can go south if u get an infection
this is heavily edited to make them look bad. This child had no chance with treatment. Thats why the judges ruled in their favour.

This mother is a great example of what happens if you spend too much time on facebook
my dad has had/has multiple brain tumors. he didn't want chemo at first, in fact, he was extremely opposed to it. We didn't understand it, and even I was somewhat opposed to it. however, he finally accepted it, and now he's alive, and well, and showing no signs that his brain is fried.
Where’s natural selection when you need it
I don't think she is stupid or selfish, I think she would just rather find a better, safer way to help her child. There are treatments that are not so toxic that have shown to work. I have read many articles stating that chemo and radiation can many times actually speed up or make the cancer worse. It isn't always the best thing. Dr's don't always know what is right..imo
Yes, yes they do. They study for decades for some moron to read an article written by a 22 y/o hippi mom about eating a certain type of plants makes you malignant cancer stage 3 go away. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for plant power and everything. But with cancer you have to go full force. You can decide either to use something thats toxic, or your child being dead.
Jazzma Ary, how? Doctors study decades for their degree on PhD, yet you still say that some Buzz feed article is right.
I agree with you. Did he indeed die?
she fully understands, she just knows how expensive it is, and she would rather her son die than her be in debt
I recently looked up this family and I read that the boy did pass away a couple days before Christmas in 2016. :(
This mom is right. I really hate to say it, but always keep in mind that remission is a lie. The cancer is never truly gone and that's why when it comes back it is even more aggressive.

I have an aunt who died of small cell lung cancer when I was 2.
CPS where you at
I don’t blame her, and chemo is actually what kills you...I have seen it one time too many...This is what takes your hair, makes you frail, sick, vomiting, thin...And EXTREME PAIN...SO, NO THANKS!!!
Karizma Charles but it saves u
It doesn't always save you. These survival rates are fake
the desicion shouldn't be for the parents but for the doctors and the govorent
Ok so you like to allow your choices in parenting to be made by the government. Yay lets promote totalitarian governance now. Hitler and Stalin surely weren't as bad as they say in history books.
+Bana Naan well if there gonna get there son killed then yes it should be up to the doctors and government
and giving doctors the right to save some ones life does not equal Hitler or stalin and if you think that it does then stay out of the youtube comment section because you clearly can't think of a comment with out adding Hitler and stalin
+ngiotis1999 Agree! How can a mother do that to her child???
+Karin Kollárová thnx someone who understandd
I really want to see her whole response not just cuts of it
This poor boy actually died last year (December 2016) all because his parents wouldn’t opt for chemo because “they don’t understand it” R.I.P.
