The original judge's order was ridiculous in ordering the parents to consent to the treatment. Such consents usually help mitigate against lawsuits in the event of disastrous results. Were I Abraham's parents, in the face of a court order requiring my consent I should withhold it and inform the physicians and the judge they would be held personally responsible in the event the treatment caused harm, discomfort or failed in its cure. Abraham might fare better if he were to go to an alternate court and file to become an emancipated minor, so he would be free to act in his own best interest.
The court has no right getting involved in the first place

Alas, Accomack County Social Services are VERY heavy handed and they play hardball, and for keeps.
