Since the report aired, we found out that she is a newly married mother of a 3-year-old daughter. Her brother-in-law told us, "She is definitely a tough woman. There's nothing that stands in her way. It completely makes sense that she she what she did. It was amazing. Without her, there would have been a lot more people killed."
Who decides your medical treatment?

A 13-year-old Minnesota boy, Daniel Hauser, and his mother vow to resist chemotherapy for his cancer. Last week, a judge ruled that Daniel's parents, Colleen and Anthony Hauser, were medically neglecting him. The court ordered the boy undergo a chest X-ray to assess his Hodgkins lymphoma. His mother disappeared with her son and has missed their Tuesday court hearing. Now, there is a felony warrant out for her arrest.
Does this amount to law enforcement and the courts mandating medical treatment? Does the government have the right to do so? Leave us a comment.
