Afternoon of Monday, May 25th Update: Please note that the AP reported around 3:30 pm on Monday, that Colleen Hauser and Daniel Hauser are back in Minnesota. Story: here.

Dr. Rahul K. Parikh is a physician who writes for Salon.com. His article is posted at the Toronto Star, and explains chemotherapy and its side effects. Dr. Parikh notes that, “We shouldn’t be judging the ‘chemo kid'”. And, he asserts, “Those who have been through the living hell of cancer treatment understand the Hausers’ decision to run away.”

The Constitution Party of Minnesota notes that it is a parent’s Constitutional right to make medical decisions for their children. The party’s statement was posted by a reader in the comments section of onthewilderside.com and is now posted at Independent Political Report: here.
