Mathews parents should be arrested for Contempt Of Court
BiRanger |
What a horrid surprise when you discover that all the good talk was a fraud that they used it to kidnap their son. |

This is awfully disappointing! I don't know if I'm more disgusted with Nora (the DA) or Bo (the Comissioner). What a clear disregard for the law and a clear disregard for their son's wishes. |
What if everyone did only what made them happy and LIED to their loved ones for selfish reasons. Ugh!!!

They I hope will destroy any relationship they ever had with their son and he will never, nor should he, trust them again. I personally hate people who go to any degree to get their own way. GRRRRRRRR   You can't kidnap your own child! Since he is not emancipated it really isn't their call! and him being in another country theres not anything that that can be done, and if I were in there boat(and had cash on hand) i'd do exactly the same thing! They are not doing this out of malice or greed it's love pure and simple! I think Matthew knows that and I bet will make the best of it!! I say 3 Cheers for Bo and Nore Hip Hip Hooray! They have his best interest @ heart and are able to see the bigger picture. imo in time so will Matthew!!! |

They may have thebest intentions but they are crossing a line and need to be [repared to live with the fallout. To me it is not about the ourts but it's about when someone can make a life alterig decision about their own life. Legal adulthood is an abitrary number that can be changed by the law. Bottom line should he have the choice to take the risk? I think he should |

As soon as Matthew turns 18 he could have the surgery which he will probably do. Bo and Nora are delaying the obvious and increasing his risk of failure. They love their son and want to protect him, but sometime parents can't protect their child without making thing worse. Think since Shaun is now awake Bo and Nora will be less fearful of Greg, and Greg will be more confident of himself to do the surgery. |

Thats fine! at least my child would be alive and well and again you can't really kidnap your own child.(imo) He is not emancipated. I agree with the other poster when he is 18 he can do as he pleases. Besides with out this delay how would we meet Danielle Tea's daughter? works for me and hopefully will pull Bo and Nora back together. I don't know but I think Matthew will be fine in the end!! |

Quote AuraMan: The only thing I can say is OUCH. Writers', think with your creative selves. Do you think we believe this stuff? ITA!! I find it hard to believe a judge would go against a parents wishes in a case like this. This isn't like he's sick and needs a life saving vaccine or treatment. I honestly think it would be thrown out. and no I don't think it's too creative. Parents have done similar things to keep their children from life saving vaccines(religiuos radicals etc) and after judges ruling have fleed i was in the news awhile ago about a boy with some type of cancer, so in a way it's totally realistic except like I said this isn't a life saving operation it's elective surgery. There for I really don't see how or why a judge would get a say. |

I have to disagree I don't think Matthews parents should be arrested for Contempt of Court. According to that Doctor's record for surgery it is not good enough to operate on Matthew. BO and Nora are just trying to save Matthew from dying. One day Matthew will realize that. Anyway, I think eventually Dr. Evans will do the serious when Matthew comes back home. Good parenting by Bo and Nora |

Quote KC11: This is awfully disappointing! I don't know if I'm more disgusted with Nora (the DA) or Bo (the Comissioner). What a clear disregard for the law and a clear disregard for their son's wishes.  ( Technically, they didn't break the law. The court ruling said he had the right to make his own medical decisions. It didn't say his parents lost any other rights, such as choosing where he lives or goes to school. As a lawyer, Nora found a loophole in the law, which lawyers do all the time. And in this case I'm proud of the lawyer thinking outside the box. I don't have kids, but I'm old enough to know now that the things my parents did that I hated most when I was a teenager turned out to be for my own good. And I keep seeing people posting that all surgeries have risks involved. This is true, but when operating on the spinal cord, that is a whole other story. The risks increase exponentially. How often do you hear of 99% of doctors in the country refusing to operate on a healthy 15 year old? It's obviously not a run-of-the-mill surgery. If I had a kid I would do the same thing. And, yes, true, the longer he waits the smaller the success rate--NOW. Who knows what advances may be made by the time he turns 18, you know? I can't believe he had the gall to sue them anyway. When I was growing up I had a healthy respect for my parent's authority, and this wasn't that long ago. Boy did I resent them sometimes, but what they said was my law, and I abided by it. And sometimes it really sucked, but lots of teenagers "hate" their parents. But if they weren't abused, they get over it when they grow up. |

I keep reading posts from people about how wrong Bo and Nora are, or how dare Matt do what he did, but I would really like to hear the opinion of an actual paraplegic, teenaged or not, about this storyline. If there was even a glimmer of hope to walk again, would they be willing to risk their life for it? I'm not a parent, so I won't claim to know how one would feel, but I do think Bo and Nora are in the wrong for this. It isn't legally kidnapping, but the damage it could do to their relationship with their son is unfathomable. I don't think this is something that Matt will just "get over" someday, because everyday when he wakes up and has to slide into that wheelchair, he will be reminded of how his parents deceived him and stole the one chance, in his eyes, to ever walk again. Again, I would like to have the opinion of someone in a wheelchair, to see if they would feel similarly if they were denied the chance Matthew has. |

And sometimes it really sucked, but lots of teenagers "hate" their parents. But if they weren't abused, they get over it when they grow up. Okay, I'll try to address each point  Sorry not every child gets over it.  It would be nice to think so but statistics say otherwise. Runaways, suicides and even murderers are products of child-parent issues. I stand firm that parenting is not a dictatorship. And of course there are different strategies practiced when raising children. Believe me, I am no pushover but being reasonable is practiced amongst some of us and it works. I know beatings works for some parents and screaming too (I've seen it around town) but not everyone lives that way.  I do agree with you that the spinal cord is a very sensitve surgery indeed. This is why Clint had to use his connections and call all over the world to find a "specialist" in Greg. Not every one can afford a "specialist" but if there was one available to perform a surgery most affluent parents would indeed hire them (as Clint did). I'm not one of them. LOL Yes, it is Nora's right to be against Matthew's decision but to shank the law in her position is asking for trouble. I hope Matthew being the sweet young man he is will more than likely forgive his mother but I still disagree with her clear disregard for Matthews wishes. She did the same thing to Bo. Hank, Sam and now Matthew but hey what Nora wants is all that matters.  I clearly see that! Were you watching when she slept with Sam and tried to reason with Bo that the lie was necessary? Were you watching when she lied to Matthew and said Sam was his father? Were you watching when Nora lied to Clint and said she was not interested in hooking up with Bo. I'm simply tired of defending Nora and her LIES! She no longer should be the DA She has NO integrity towards the law or her family. And as for your other comment, children should respect their parents but I have often come across priviledged sons and daughters and lawyers children who are notorious for using a lawyer at will. This is what they are taught to do. However, respect goes both ways. You can share your beliefs with your child or teenager without taking them out of the country can't you? I think Matthew's case should NOT have gone to court in real life but Matthew carried out his suit with Tea at the helm and won on this soap. To tell us to shun a court order is wrong. Yes, Nora and Bo can skirt around the law as Marcy did but it doesn't make what their doing right. IMO |

The judge may have ordered he could have the surgery but since his medical wouldn't cover something like that, it would have to be paid for. Who's gonna pay for it? They can't force Bo and Nora to pay for it! It's not a medical emergency! So there for if that judge thinks Matt is old enough to make his own decisions maybe he should get a job and pay for it himself!! I sure as heck would not pay for this! let the judge pay for it!! The judge only granted he could make this choice he never said anything about payin for it! So imo Bo and Nora did nothing wrong! |
