Half of what I teach students turns out to be wrong; neither of us know which half. When I qualified no HIV/ AIDS, Heart Failure universally fatal now imminently treatable, Genetic tests almost non existent, Transplantation in its infancy.
Nothing draconian about expressing an opinion. Enforcing that opinion upon others through the use of a European arrest warrant and a man hunt for the parents seemed a tad draconian to me though.

The arrest warrant was based on current obligatory child protection rules for healthcare professionals Child, being fed enterally, was removed from hospital by parents untrained in how to feed him = at risk of aspiration or starvation so had to be found = arrest warrant

Child protection rules we could probably debate for months. Regardless of good intent, they are a source of fear for many parents (myself included). I'm mindful of the fact that they only ran because the option to do it properly was removed. Would I have done the same? Perhaps..

Even that's debated by Trust, they say they had already contacted photon site before parents withdrew him

Hmmm. Only a handful of people will know the real truth behind that, but personal experience has made me closely question statements issued by hospital trusts these days. Especially those who sense reputational damage may be an imminent risk.
