We are here today with Ashya King Parents, Brett and Naghmeh King to talk about what happened. First, I would like to thank you for coming in today. On the 29th August, 2014, Mr and Mrs King took their son from Southampton hospital without letting any doctors knowing. They took him and brought him to Paris even though they knew the son was in a critical condition. Why would they take such risk?
The kings stated that doctors had threatened them, if they continued to ask anymore question about their son illness. To be fair, they have the right to do so because it’s their child. Why do you think the doctors threatened you? I don’t know! I started to ask them about the illness, then straight away they said if I asked anymore questions, my rights will be taken away from me. We only wanted to know what’s going on with our son situation. I don’t think that is fair on us, because we are his parents. We are allowed to know what is …show more content…
going on, the kings stated, terrified and distraught.
Unfortunately, all went downhill after arriving at Paris.
When doctors found out that Aysha was missing, they immediately sent out a search warrant all over the world and insist that the kings return to the UK so that Aysha can be treated for his condition. When the kings heard that a search warrant had been sent out. They began to go in hiding, because they feared what might happened to their precious son.
After been called out by local authorities, the kings decided that it’s time for them to stop running and just face what’s to come. The kings got arrested in a Spanish prison where they spent three nights and was banned from seeing their own son. The kings also stated that they were treated like terrorists, when they were only trying to help their son. In situation like these, you cannot do anything because, you were told not to take the child from the hospital but you did. I have no personal knowledge of what happened there but in cases like this, you are not a doctor and anything could’ve happened to
Ashya.
Do you think, you have done your best? And what is Ashya situation right now? We did our best to help our son and we are proud of ourselves, because we took a massive risk. Ashya is good. We managed to get the right amount of money for his treatment to be started. Ashya will have his treatment in couple weeks. Even though blood transfusion is against my religion, I will have to go, pass it and let Ashya have his treatment. That is great! Thank you for your time and I wish you all the best and Ashya a speedy recovery.
