I DON'T understand how a couple on holiday in a foreign land can go out and have a meal with friends and leave their child in bed alone. The child is then abducted and to this day has not been found.
On the other hand, you have a couple who have a seriously ill child in hospital, they were watching his life ebb away because the NHS would not allow the treatment the little lad urgently wanted.
Being loving, caring parents they decided to remove young Ashya from hospital and take him abroad to find treatment that could save his life. And what does our country do? They chase them up, imprison the loving parents and put the little boy in hospital, where, for a few days, the only member of his family to see him was his elder brother.
Two things: how come a "civilised" country, like the UK is supposed to be, didn't offer the treatment that other countries do, and why did we treat them like common criminals, when they did what they did because they love and care for their poorly son?
Something is so wrong here but at least there was a u-turn.
