Who is to say that you are right and they are wrong?
You're right. I know very little about this particular case. What I have gleaned is that the parents (and the patient) in the case are either very poorly informed about the consequences of stopping treatment, or in denial about the consequences, and that treatment is likely to be beneficial. If that is indeed the case, the state is justified in stepping in to protect the kid.
If the parents and the patient are all well informed then the state needs to get the fuck out.
