If they had done that there might have been a court order preventing the child going anywhere. Taking your child out of hospital isn't illegal but once there is a court order it is.

Brain cancer patient Ashya back in hospital as parents are arrested in Spain - World - News - London Evening Standard
Explaining why the family had travelled to Spain, Mr King said his son's treatment in Southampton seemed like "trial and error" but he was told if he questioned it the hospital would seek an emergency protection order.
He said: "After that I realised I can't speak to the oncologist at all, because if I actually ask anything or give any doubt I wasn't in full accord with them, they were going to get a protection order which meant in his deepest, darkest hour I wouldn't be there to look after him, and neither would my wife - they would prevent us from entering the ward.
"That's such a cruel system I decided I to start looking at the proton beam myself."
He added: "We decided to try and sort it out ourselves but now we're refugees almost.
"We can't do anything. The police are after us. The things we want to do to raise the money to pay for the proton beam, they've prevented it now."
Mr King explained that the family had been intending to seek proton beam treatment for Ashya in the Czech Republic.
"Proton beam is so much better for children with brain cancer," he said. "It zones in on the area, whereby normal radiation passes right through his head and comes out the other side and destroys everything in his head.
"We pleaded with them (in Southampton) for proton beam treatment. They looked at me straight in the face and said with his cancer - which is called medulloblastoma - it would have no benefit whatsoever.
"I went straight back to my room and looked it up and the American sites and French sites and Switzerland sites where they have proton beam said the opposite, it would be very beneficial for him." |
