Serious Treatment: There are no home treatments for pediatric brain tumor. He must undergo treatment at a hospital with a pediatric oncology specialist. Time is of the essence for the best outcome.

I agree. Parental : refusal to seek medical care for their child who has a brain tumor is medical neglect, in legal terms. That means the child's physicians are required to file a report to Child Protective Services. In some cases, physicians also obtain a court order for needed medical & surgical treatment. Legal precedent exists.
