Our country
has an international perception of having the best and most expensive legal
services the world over. It’s true; anybody could afford litigation or virtually-free
legal representation through a contingency/no-win-no-fee fee condition. Many
people get compensated even for the silliest, highly-avoidable mistake that in
the absence of common sense and a great use of facts a person could win £300 in
payouts.
So why did
the King family have no proper legal protection despite meaning well for
everything?
The story of
the Kings began when Ashya King’s parents have taken him away from the hospital
to have proton beam treatment instead of what his father considered was a “trial
and error” approach to treating his brain tumour. The global hunt for the
family ended in Spain where the couple and their children were found.
The authorities
are then legally bound to intrude and become parent figures to Ashya as his
parents are investigated for any criminal background.
It is quite
obvious that any parent who sees their child continually suffering while
medical professionals deal with him as a mere case would feel unable to do
anything. Mr. King thought that proton beam therapy will help solve his child’s
problems. Today Ashya is cleared for the proton beam therapy, the goal of his
parents.
This is where
the border of legalities become big trouble; it fails to address the mental
state of suspects and regards it instantly as a criminal or
psychologically-damaged event. A parent’s love can turn into insanity for
caring for their children, but that cannot be constitutionalised.
