Boy who fled chemo


NEW ULM, Minn. — A 13-year-old cancer patient and his mother, who fled Minnesota last week to avoid court-ordered chemotherapy for him, returned voluntarily Monday, and the boy was evaluated by a doctor.

Daniel Hauser was "immediately checked over medically” when he and his mother arrived on a charter flight at 3 a.m., Brown County Sheriff Rich Hoffmann said.

He did not say where the pair have been since they missed a court hearing last Tuesday, prompting a nationwide search, or whether Daniel received medical treatment for his Hodgkin’s lymphoma while they were gone.

"It is a good day as Daniel and Colleen Hauser have been safely returned,” Hoffmann said.

Because Colleen Hauser returned voluntarily, a warrant for her arrest was lifted, and Hoffmann expected a federal fugitive arrest warrant would also be dropped. Daniel was in his parents’ custody.

Daniel Hauser was evaluated at a hospital in the Twin Cities on Monday, according to Tom Hagen, an attorney at the law office representing Daniel’s parents.

Phone messages left with the Hausers on Monday evening were not immediately returned, and two sheriff’s vehicles blocked the road to their home in Sleepy Eye, about 100 miles southwest of the Twin Cities.
