Makayla Sault will remain at home with her family and not be forced back into chemotherapy, say child welfare officials.
Ken and Sonya Sault met with the Brant, Ont., Children’s Aid Society this afternoon where they were told the investigation into their case will be closed.
“We have no plans to apprehend the child. I understand … the family was told that we might do that. We don’t have any plans for that,” Andrew Koster, the society’s executive director, said Monday. “We are just hoping that there ends up with some kind of compromise that considers the child’s safety and also her well-being.”
Makayla Sault was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in January. She refused to resume chemotherapy, in favour of indigenous traditional medicine. The side-effects of her treatment became too much for her to bear.
