Ohio Hospital Fights to Give Amish Child Chemo

An Ohio hospital is fighting Amish parents in court on the question of who should have control over their daughter's health.

Dr. Robert McGregor, Chief Medical Officer at Akron Children's Hospital, says the 10-year-old girl must continue receiving chemotherapy to treat her Leukemia. 

Her parents say the girl asked to stop treatments because of the horrible side effects. They want to use natural, herbal medicines instead.

"New Day" attempted to reach out to the family, but these attempts were unsuccessful.
