In case anyone is interested there is an online petition which is to be presented to David Cameron on Tuesday (2/9/14) asking that the Ashya and his parents are re-united. 

To access type petition for Ashya King into the search engine, the site is change.org, there are various petitions but this is simply asking David Cameron to ask that the parents and Ashya can be re-united.

I would insert the link but I don't have authorisation, to ensure you have the right one you will see it has over 74,000 signatures as of this moment and growing.

I was hoping by posting to avoid all the "mis-information" being re-itererated in Spain, unfortunately it appears this is not going to be the case.

1. Yes the family are Jehovah's witnesses - but the problem here is not the operation. That has gone ahead. It is the invasive and damaging radiation treatment into the brain of a young boy that the parents were concerned about.

2. The fact is that there is alternative treatment available, albeit not yet available in the UK, this was the catalyst that made the parents take the action they did. As they were happy to sell their home to obtain finances to pay for this treatment, I think the choice should have been theirs.

So the point being when does it become the medical professions choice to proceed with medical treatment without the full consent of the parents of a child and at what point do parents lose those rights?  By threatenting to make the child a ward of the courts if the parents refused to accept the final decision of the medical team did the doctors make the situation any better?

As a parent (luckily with two healthy happy children fully grown into adulthood) what would I have done had I been in their position, hopefully I would have had a medical team who would have listened, understood, and at least given me the opportunity to explore all the options, so I would not have been in such a dreadful predicament.

Unfortunately in Britain today, most services are experiencing severe financial cutbacks, they have to justify each and every action and whilst the Doctors may have felt their course of  treatment was the best they could do, their decision has been made clinically,what they have done is failed to take into account a parents love for their child and have instead made a very emotional and hard time extremely stressful, responding to letters, explaining fully their reasoning, maybe requesting the use of a PALS liaison to advise the parents etc, would perhaps have been a more humane way to deal with the situation.

As I live in the UK, but live in Wales and work a short distance across the border in England, I find it incongrous that I or anyone living in our local area, can no longer be referred to the English hospital for treatment even though the waiting list times are usually halved - why the simple answer is MONEY.

So whilst I know that the alternative treatment is available, each case has to be put before a board to be determined and not every patient would be treated on the NHS, but if the treatment were to be paid for privately surely that option should be given consideration, rather than bullying people into submission to accept a decision which could leave their son radically disabled for life.

Hi 

There is a family currently  in Spain who need the support of people residing in Spain, and I hope people will not object to me using this forum to spread the word.

A young child (5) named Ashya King, who is British born was recently treated in hospital in the UK for a brain tumor, his parents were unable to obtain the treatment they wanted for him post surgery, so removed him from the hospital when they felt the could manage his care themselves, this was against the hospital recommendations, but there is a you tube video which explains the situation, unfortunately I do not have approval to post the link but if you type in the name Ashya King in to your search engine you should find items with links to new items and of course You Tube. If you have a facebook account and again type in the name in the search box you will see several pages have been created so you can access them too.

The hospital then used the local UK police to trace the parents and try to get Ashya returned to the hospital by telling them the child was "in grave danger".  A european arrest warrant was issued on that basis and last night the parents were arrested in a the Malaga area (they have a second home in Malaga) Ashya was taken to the hospital in Malaga, but the parents are in custody, it appears extradition orders are being put in place to get the family returned to the UK.

Ashya, incidentally, whilst initially being put in a high dependancy unit of the hospital, after less than 24 hours has now been moved to a low dependancy unit.

What I am asking is that we use this forum to ensure that any information which is used by the media is passed on fully and correctly, since I really do believe that this family should have the right to make a choice about all treatment their child receives.  The King family is a large loving family and there are several other children currently in Spain, luckily there are adult children who are able to ensure the younger siblings will be looked after whilst the legal process holds their parents in custody.

We know how much the Spanish love and protect their children and feel the right support would enable Ashya to get the best possible outcome to what has become somewhat of a 'Circus' here in the UK, so I ask again please spead this information in a true and honest fashion wherever possible.

 

Many Thanks
