I disagree. A thirteen year old child is capable of udnerstanding what may appen if they don't take chemo. Children these days are far more precocious and have a better uderstanding than people might realize. Also, he is old enough to know if he doesn't like how the chemo makes him feel. I think that's my issue. I don't like to see children being forced to do something as serious as chemo if they REALLY don't want to do it. Lots of people try alternative routes because chemo makes them so miserable.
Interesting though how authorities are quick to jump on this, but there are other bad parental situations out there and they refuse to get involved. smh
