It’s always heartbreaking to hear of a young child who is battling cancer, but in the case of three-year-old Weston Lamarre, it’s a particularly tragic story because he has been separated from his mother, Wendy, after the occurrence of what some are calling a “medical kidnapping.”
Wendy Lamarre has not been charged with any mistreatment of her child, and although her regular doctors and others are sure she is not a threat to her son — who is now recovering from treatment for a brain tumor — Connecticut Department of Children and Families (DCF) authorities are keeping her son in custody and reportedly allowing the mother to see her son only a few hours per week.
By nearly all accounts (aside from the DCF staff), Wendy Lamarre is a caring mother who has been at Weston’s side ever since he was diagnosed at 22 months of age with a rare and dangerous form of cancer which produced a tumor on the back of his head. According to Health Impact News, Wendy “is a medical assistant by trade, and she went right to work learning everything that she needed to know in order to help take care of” Weston.
Following initial surgery came a year of intensive chemotherapy and radiation treatment, and Weston was declared to be cancer-free, against all the odds — his form of cancer has a less than 10 percent survival rate for children under the age of three.
After the radiation and chemo treatments, life began to return to something resembling normal for Wendy and Weston — she was able to return to her old job as a medical assistant, while her son continued receiving other treatment and therapy while attending daycare and a half-day program for kids with special needs.
The situation leading to the problem with the Child Protective authorities began one day in early November when Wendy was told by her daycare staff that Weston had some unexplained bruising in his diaper area. That morning, before sending Weston to the daycare center, Wendy noticed what appeared to be a case of diaper rash and applied a zinc oxide-based cream.
