Daniel Hauser story has a happy ending (not that kind, you perverts)

Remember a few months ago when I reported that Colleen Hauser had fled Minnesota after a judge had ordered her son to undergo chemotherapy? You may remember them as the family who refused to use conventional medicine to treat their son’s deadly Hodgkin’s lymphoma, opting instead to follow the “teachings” of a fake Native American religion called “Nemenhah” (you can find out more about them and their founder, a man with a history of fraud, right here). Well, the story kind of fell off the grid (my bad), but I’m happy to report that the parents have come to their senses and have agreed to follow the judge’s ruling.

Colleen spent about a week on the run before she was convinced that alternative therapies would not do the trick (she was hiding out in California, the capital of New Age). It’s a good thing too; Daniel’s doctor argued that the boy needs immediate and aggressive chemo in order to properly fight off his cancer.

It’s nice to know that this story has a happy ending, assuming of course that he responds well to the chemo, which seems likely. Kind of makes you hopeful that other terribly deluded people can come to their sense with enough persuasion. Who says TGA never has any good news?
