Orac: Parents win custody of their child, pulling her out of a hospital so they can administer vitamin C “therapy”. “I suppose it could be argued that, because, thanks to her parents’ intransigence, Katie’s odds of survival are so poor anyway, she might as well spend her remaining time with the family who loves her, rather than being forced to spend her limited time remaining in a foster home that she hates. I can’t think of any other reasonable rationale for the judge’s decision in this case.”
