parents abduct their child from a hospital today.....people surprised it was six hours before the hospital phoned the police...bloody doctors
Abduction, @)(++(*International Business Times UK - 6 hours ago
A spokesman for the hospital, which contacted police six hours after they left, said: "Ashya was a long-term patient who was permitted to leave the ward under the supervision of his parents as part of his ongoing rehabilitation.
"When the length of time he had been absent became a cause of concern to staff yesterday afternoon they contacted police after a search of the site and attempts to contact the family were unsuccessful."

Went for a holiday in Spain it would appear.

Poor parents are probably out of their minds with the stress of the situation.
Ashya's father explains reason for taking him out of hospital.
Seems he could get some better treatment for him elsewhere.

I agree John. The SS will now start snooping and make this poor family's life hell.
I can't condemn these people for what they have done, his father said on the YouTube video that Ashya was smiling a lot more and moving around more than he did in hospital. The Police also said that he shows NO signs of distress.
I can imagine.
I hope they are released without charge.
The Police are deciding if the parents have committed a crime or not. They got permission from the hospital to take him off the premises, they can't have mentioned that they were going abroad. Still, hes their son.
why wa sthat little boy in the uk who is terminially ill taken off his parents and the parents arrested when the child is brain damaged and will most likley die anyway and yet the mcanns were not charged at all and they DID neglect thir children?
Well the reality is we are run by a bunch of Nazi policies, that has taken away all of our human rights, would it be much different under Hitler?
Looks like there is already a court order in place to stop the parents interfering in the boys treatment...hes had surgery which would have required blood which they no doubt forbade
Apparently the parents wanted to take him abroad for treatment. Still, just taking him like that I would have thought would have put a lot of stress on the little boy.
I hope they come to conclusion one way or another about his treatment, looks as though the parents think he would be better off having the other treatment.
Don't know if the hospital can refuse what the parents want can they?
IMO this is all about money. The parents probably researched the case well and know where to seek better treatment. They did not accept the cost cutting 'explanations' by the NHS consultants.The NHS fears that other people would follow the same route, i.e seek the treatment in Europe.
All about money. Fulstop.
Well we lost our younger's daughter age 27, to a brain tumor, I can say I do not blame them for taking their child abroad.
By the time her doctor found out the problem a year had gone by, waiting six weeks to obtain her first brain scan unless she was willing to go private, they told her there was no problem, six weeks later she lost feelings on one half of her body, they rushed her for another brain scan because they lost the first result, they found out it was terminal, by then it was the size of a golf ball, they said there was nothing they could do, we took her home to die.
ITV is reporting they are in front of a judge this evening.. I thought the courts cases are heard during the mornings?

The police are calling it a case of suspected child neglect which is a offence in England.
it wasn't neglect though was it...........they had their child's best interest at heart......
they intended selling their holiday home ....to pay for his treatment ...[unlike some]
INTENDED?
How long would it have taken to sell it though. The child is critically ill. I don't call that in his best interests!
the child is terminally ill ...they wanted better treatment...wanted to do every thing they could..as parents
It just goes to show how little power Nick Clegg has as deputy pm when even he cannot give clear direction to the CPS in Hampshire. I have always been of the opinion that these CPS jobsworths have far too much power. Be in no doubt, this fiasco could be brought to an end instantly had the CPS the will to want to do so.
Wessex CPS have now relented and are cancelling the extradition request, they have also stated that the Kings will not be facing any charges.
Meanwhile, the Spanish judge is furious at the UK authorities for misleading them over the arrest. The Kings are to be released shortly and should be back with Ashya late tonight or early tomorrow.
I notice impediments are still being put in the family's way. It beggars belief that even now the Kings are being obstructed in what they want in the best interest of their own child. I wonder if these officials who have been responsible for what has happened over the last few days are as good with their own children?
What a disgusting fiasco this has been. But these people always go too far in the end.
The NHS should now just pay for that child's treatment abroad.
what about all the other children with brain tumours..we need to hear what his doctors have to say..at they moment they can't say a thing due to patient confidentality
lets see what happens in court today....The father is on record as saying that the uk treatment would kill him or turn him into a vegetable..that is ridiculous..when Ashya was taken from hospital his life was at risk...the European Arrest Warrant was the only way of finding him quickly and get him to a hospital which is what was needed and happened. He needs chemo now which he is not getting...that isn't the doctors fault....
Having them arrested on a EAW and locked up was a bit over the top, don't you think.

From what the doctors said the boy was at serious risk of death unless hospitalised and an EAW was the only way to find ashya quickly...the Spanish did not have to keep the parents in custody...why were they not bailed]
Plenty of other parents interviewed over the last week have said the same thing that the mass chemo treatment killed their children. The Kings did right imo, had they not done what they did then Ashya would not be getting Proton Therpy treatment and would have died or been left a vegetable.
The Southampton General doctors keep saying now that Ashya would have got the best treatment available. The point being lost in all of this is, that their treatment was NOT THE BEST AVAILABLE ELSEWHERE.
Lets face it, the NHS is no longer the world-class service it once was.
First Ashya needs chemo first...it is designed to heal..not to killhe needed that chemo like a hole in the head poor kid so his parents took positive action to get him the treatment he deserves which just so happens to be in Prague
Parents could not have arranged alternative treatment until flat was sold...months
Who says proton therapy is the best treatment option in this case
he needed that chemo like a hole in the head poor kid so his parents took positive action to get him the treatment he deserves which just so happens to be in Praguei so applaud them for doing the right thing and making a positive effort to get little ashya the help he needs 8((()*/ 8((()*/ 8((()*/

You obviously don't understand how the bog standard NHS treatment works Davel. Don't you realise that it is a mass radiation treatment and kills cells in every part of the brain, both good and bad? It is a second rate treatment and a cheap alternative to that offered in specialist centres such as the one in the Czech Republic.
Davel also appears to have a problem with the King family taking 5 year old Ashya out of hospital in order to get specialist treatment in another country. Puzzling??

it isn't puzzling when you actually have an understanding of how these things work...which you don't...quote from the guardian..
But doctors from Southampton, speaking for the first time, told the Guardian that Ashya would not get the extra benefit from the treatment in Prague that his parents wanted, because most of his brain and spine will still have to be irradiated.
They also said that an application to a specialist board for NHS funding for proton beam therapy for Ashya was turned down earlier this week. The NHS funds children under certain circumstances to get proton beam therapy abroad and Southampton has often sent such patients for the treatment, but an application for Ashya to have it was rejected because it offers no benefit over conventional radiotherapy. The side effects will be the same.
Ashya would have had no chance at all if his parents hadn't taken him out of Southampton General. Now at least he has a fighting chance with the specialist proton therapy denied to him by the consultants in Southampton.
The evidence speaks for itself, we have heard from several parents since Asha's case hit the headlines whose child succumbed to mass radiation treatment having also been denied proton therapy by Southampton. Proton therapy can be targeted on the cancerous cells in the brain and avoid the undamaged ones. Limited mass radiation can be applied at any time thereafter. No matter what way one looks at this, the specialised treatment wins hands down every time.
What are you basing your opinons on John...a couple of articles in a newspaper...according to the consultant Southampton have sent several children for proton therapy abroad but it was not considered beneficial for Ashya..but what do the doctors know compared to what you have picked up on the net in the last couple of days
It isn't an opinion but fact. Mass radiation treatment irradiates the entire brain killing both good and cancerous cells. Ashya would have lost brain function and might even have died from such therapy. Proton Therapy on the other hand combined with minimal mass radiation treatment targets the damaged cells and avoids damaging the healthy ones. Which part of this don't you understand Dave?My little boy had targetted radiation John. He had a head protecting helmet made specially for him. This covered his whole brain to keep unwanted radiation away except for the tumour. That was narrow beam targetted directly by a directional access point thru the helmet. The same with his spine, an access point throught the top of his helmet was targetted at the tunour on the top of his spine, but also the radiation was designed to pass straight down the spine to irradiate the whole spine.
Thank you for sharing your experiences with us Sadie. The Proton Therapy is cutting edge technology and when combined with the very latest scanning techniques can pinpoint cancerous cells and radiate them instantly. Ashya has a wonderful chance for a full recovery while maintaining brain function thanks to this technology.
Ashya is having a week of rest in a private clinic before the treatment proper commences at the Proton Therapy Clinic on Monday.
From what I have read Ashya does not need pinpoint radiation but will need fairly large areas of his brain irradiated and this is why proton therapy was deemed to have no benefit.
What the f..k were Hampshire Police thinking about when they issued an arrest warrant, I can't believe the insensitivity of these idiots. And now we know that Ashya has been taken from the only people he knows and his parents stuck in a f.....g dungeon below Malaga police station. UNBELIEVABLE!!!
Earlier this week we heard how Rotherham Police effectively let a bunch of paedophiles and rapists off the hook having abused over 1400 children and now these f.....g idiots in Hampshire do this to loving parents. What the hell is this country coming to?
He will need both Dave but the chemo to a much lesser degree which will leave him with brain function rather than being left in a permanent vegetative state.
How many children who receive conventional radiation are left in a permanent vegetative state...trey and stick to the facts
I see Ashya's parents now want £50,000 from the cancer charity even though the NHS has funded the treatment. makes me think that they were a difficult couple for the doctors to deal with
Just came across this update Anna, posted by big bro Naveed on his video channel.
Ashya (right) having fun in the pool with his brothers a few days back at Marbella International Hospital.
