Judge Sets Aside Order for Chemo

Good News!
According to a report from WTKR, Abraham Cherrix will NOT have to report for chemotherapy and he will be allowed to remain with his family. A Circuit Court judge has set aside the order of Juvenile Court Judge Demps.
A judge has set aside a court order requiring a 16-year-old cancer patient to report to a hospital for treatment over his objections. A juvenile court judge had ordered Starchild Abraham Cherrix and his parents to report to a Norfolk hospital by one p.m. today, and denied a stay of that order. But the Circuit Court judge scheduled a hearing for noon to consider a request to take over the case and grant the stay.
According to this report from WAVY.Com
[T]he judge suspended the order requiring that Cherrix' parents share custody over Abraham with Child Protective Services.
That is indeed good news, but Abraham's battle is not over. Please keep this family in your prayers as they continue to fight the cancer and unfortunately the state as well.

The state allows 16 year olds to drive, quit school if they want and I don't know what age they have to be to choose between parents in the case of divorce. This is ridiculous for the courts to even be involved in this decision. Thanks so much for keeping us updated!
