NEW ULM, Minn. — "An arrest warrant was issued Tuesday for Colleen Hauser, who failed to bring her 13-year-old son, Daniel, to a court hearing regarding whether he should receive chemotherapy against his wishes.

"The mother and son have been missing since Monday evening, after they went to a medical appointment that suggested Daniel's cancer is getting worse. Only the father, Anthony, was in court, and he said he didn't know their whereabouts, nor had he read the judge's order requiring him to get treatment for Daniel or lose custody of him.

The attorneys in the case and Brown County District Judge John Rodenberg attempted to locate the missing Hausers during the hearing by calling Colleen's cell phone, her mother and Daniel's family doctor. They also questioned Daniel's 16-year-old sister on the stand." Source : St. Paul Pioneer Press
