Facts

Ricky suffers from paralytic scoliosis and was in need of an operation. His mother was a Jehovah's Witness and consented to a corrective operation so long as no blood transfusions were given. As such the operation could not be performed. A petition was filed to appoint a guardian so that the surgery could be done. That petition was dismissed. That decision was reversed by the Superior Court.
