In 1979 Chad Green died of leukemia after his parents fled Massachusetts with him to a Laetrile clinic in Mexico rather than pursue court ordered chemotherapy. Three years on, former prosecutor Jonathan Brant notes the case jolted medical and legal norms, framing the Greens as victims of medical child abuse while the family defends their choice as protecting Chad from harsh treatments.
