The medical staff at the hospital told the police that his life was in danger. He had just undergone major surgery for a cancerous brain tumour and was on a food drip. They drove the poor boy all the way from the UK to the South of Spain. They were arrested as the UK police had issued an international warrant. The little boy is now in a Spanish hospital without his parents and furthermore the Spanish doctors said that he cannot be transported back to the UK because of his condition.

The parents are due to appear in court in Madrid tomorrow and to be charged with cruelty to a child.
