I seem to recall that there was a similar case to this with a first nations family and child with cancer and there was considerable backlash for that too.
Either way, disgusting. A person's beliefs shouldn't override a child's healthcare but you'll never change it. People like this, anti-vaxxers and the like will always believe they shouldn't be told how to care for their child and that the government shouldn't be allowed to tell them what to do.
