[MedicalConspiracies] Judge orders surgery for baby over

mother's objection

 

 

 

 

TACOMA, Wash. - A Pierce County judge says a nine-month-old boy with

a serious kidney problem should have surgery over the objections of

the boy's mother.

 

The baby, Riley Rogers, is in state custody. The mother, Tina Carlsen,

is jailed for investigation of kidnapping, after taking the baby last

week from Children's Hospital in Seattle.

 

She was caught with the baby Saturday. She wanted to try naturopathic

treatments.

 

The father, Todd Rogers, has agreed to the surgery, but his lawyer

said in court yesterday that Rogers wanted doctors to tell him more

about the risk of dialysis.

 

The judge told Todd Rogers he could have only four hours of supervised

visits a week with his son. Rogers is worried his son would be trying

to recover from surgery in a room full of strangers.
