    So despite having commited no crime

    One may be banged up in some Spanish gaol at the behest of some over promoted plod in Hampshire.

    Said plod then proceed to dream up some charge or other so you can be extradited to the (former*) UK.

    How very odd.

    Meanwhile other versions of the plod can happily ignore thousands of cases of statutory rape that's gone on for decades.

    Even odder.

    European Arrest Warrant - it relies on the basic assumption that legal due process is at roughly the same level across Europe so the country executing the warrant largely defers to the fact that the issuing country knows what they are talking about.

    They could always apply for bail and then go to the nearest Ecuadorian Embassy to apply for asylum.

    Also nobody being arrested has automatically committed a crime - they are arrested on the basis of reasonable evidence to suspect they might have committed a crime - in this case evidence from the hospital saying that removing the kid was neglectful

      Ah yes, but the parents didn't agree with said NHS treatment for their son as the NHS does not do a form of targeted treatment in the UK. They had told their parents they would get them a second opinion and see if he could have treatment abroad. But the parents took that decision instead and buggered off. In the UK Mary Poppins state you must not question the piss poor offerings of the NHS lest you be arrested for kidnapping your own children???

          I assumed it was the feeding that was the issue, as he needs to be fed on some sort of machine and taking him away from the hospital meant they could not nourish him, therefor neglect.

            They should have allowed the parents right of leave.

            The NHS probably can't afford this kind of treatment but they shouldn't stop the parents from trying to get it elsewhere.

              The way this was painted 'Jehovahs-Witnesses' in the title gives the indication that they are refusing treatment. His father is both lucid and obviously wants better for his son. The video is a real eyeopener. They had been questioning the doctors treatment at the hospital and had been threatened with being banned from seeing their son.

              Outrageous treatment by the NHS and British authorities.

                Indeedy. If something good comes from this, I imagine it will be a justgiving page to pay for the kid's treatment. I know I'd chuck a tenner in. Sounds like the JW thing was completely unrelated to the story.

                  Dont forget, the hospital are bound by confidentiality so there may be a lot going on that we dont know about. Plus the big thing about the child not being reported missing for 6 hours - parents take their kids off the wards every day, its allowed. They know when the kids are due medication and feeding, so they get them back in time. (Mostly)

                  Also , this feeding pump. If he nicked it from the ward, then he is not squeaky clean. On the other hand, if he took it from home, he is trained and well capable of using it and getting batteries for it. At home, the parent is 100% responsible for this kit.

                  Still not sure if the kid was ever at home though. he might have spent his whole life in hospital
