Who knows what's best for your child's health -- you or the government? That's what people are asking after a Minnesota judge issued a warrant for the arrest of Colleen Hauser for refusing treatment for her son Daniel's cancer, after they skipped out on a court appearance. Doctors say Daniel's cancer is "highly curable" with the help of chemo, and recommended that he continue treatments. His mother, however, refuses to admit that Daniel is in medical danger and prefers relying on natural alternatives like herbal supplements, vitamins, and ionized water. Both Daniel and his mother are part of a religious group that believes in natural healing methods over medical treatments.
