His parents did not want to continue chemotherapy, in favor of seeking more alternative treatment and holistic methods. So police put out an alert: 'MISSING AND ENDANGERED CHILD!'
Joshua McAdams, 3-year-old Noah and Taylor Bland-Ball. /) By Meagan Flynn Meagan Flynn Morning Mix reporter Email Bio Follow May 2 at 7:20 AM Less than two weeks after 3-year-old Noah was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, his mother claimed the cancer was gone.
The alert launched a nationwide hunt for the couple and their son, Noah, a toddler with long curly brown hair and big brown eyes. In a matter of hours, they were located in Georgetown, Ky. Noah was taken from his parents and was “now being medically treated,” the sheriff’s office said in an update. And his parents, meanwhile, were being investigated on suspicion of child neglect.
Modern medicine skeptics have recently claimed “medical kidnappings” in a whole range of scenarios, including among the anti-vaccination groups. Bland-Ball and her husband’s case unfolds at a time when so-called anti-vaxxers are clashing with authorities seeking to stop a measles outbreak not seen in decades amid a spread of misinformation about vaccines. In some locations, such as Rockland County, N.Y., authorities have enforced court orders banning unvaccinated children from attending school.
Nonprofits such as the American Cancer Society have long warned against such “alternative” treatments. “We want him to receive a treatment that has less side effects, because chemotherapy is so brutal on a body, even an adult body, so think of what it’s doing to a little person who’s only 30 pounds,” she told reporters Wednesday. “We want to get him something that’s healthier, that is more biologically sound for him, specific to him and not just a standard protocol that they use for everybody, because he’s an individual.
