Do you think they should just leave him to die then? Let his mother continue with her tinctures and potions? If he dies because she refused the treatment that was recommended by professionals, no one will have to look after him.

This is tragic and people are doing their best to save this child's life with the best technology we have. If the worst happens and the child does end up with some kind of problem, neither the judge not the social services can be blamed for giving it the best shot.
