I saw this linked on Gawker, and I really thought it was one of the worst things I've ever read. This father's daughter AT THE AGE OF FOUR has battled leukemia, and undergone "15 spinal taps to make sure the cancer hasn't spread, multiple chemotherapy treatments, skin burns and vomiting from the chemo, and steroid injections that compromised her immune system." A heck of a lot for a four year old to go through, correct?
Make-A-Wish granted her a trip to Disney World. Great, right? All she needs is signatures from both her parents. Mother, yes. Father, NO.
Her father turned down a trip to Disney World for his daughter because he "doesn't believe the wish granting organization should spend money on children who are "cured.""
What a jerk. The article speculates that he is feuding with the mother over custody and visitation issues, but that's still no excuse for doing such a thing.
What do you guys think? Is this father extremely misguided to take this trip away from his daughter, or do you disagree?
