Because they
opposed providing a blood transfusion to their 2-year old child in order to
save his life, his parents ended up losing parental custody.
According to
what is known, the child exhibited a state of severe chronic anemia. He was received
into emergency care on Saturday, August 27 at the Sullana hospital to receive
treatment. When his doctors ordered a transfusion, his parents opposed this.
As of last
Wednesday, after this act was denounced at the Sullana precinct, the medical
team of the Chirense medical facility were finally able to intervene by order
of the Civil and Family Court of Sullana which had taken over the
investigation.
“They told
us they were going to give him blood to save his life, but we opposed this. We
are Jehovah’s Witnesses and we base our beliefs in what the Bible says”,
explained his mother, Janet Zeta.
“I have hope
that, if my son should die, I will see him again in paradise because the Bible
says so and Jehovah is God and not a human who would lie” she added.
Now, by
judicial mandate, parental custody has been transferred to Janet Burneo
Ramirez, social worker of the Public Ministry while the child recuperates from
the intervention.
“The child
could have died due to the grave state in which he was found and his parents’ opposition.
For the time being, he will be in the hands of the Public Ministry”, informed
an officer of the Sullana precinct.
