Mother, and sick son may be in Mexico


NEW ULM, Minn. — A new arrest warrant was issued Thursday as the search continued for the Minnesota mother who fled with her 13-year-old cancer-stricken son to avoid chemotherapy treatments.

Colleen Hauser’s son, Daniel, has Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The two were seen in Southern California on Tuesday morning and authorities have said they could be in Mexico.

"Hopefully, we’ll find Daniel, for Daniel’s sake,” Brown County Sheriff Rich Hoffmann said Thursday.

The Brown County Sheriff’s Department said that the new warrant for the mother is for deprivation of parental rights. An earlier arrest warrant was based on a contempt of court charge.

Brown County Attorney James Olson said the parental rights are those of Brown County family services, which has been granted custody of Daniel to get him to a pediatric oncologist.

Authorities believe the mother and son fled Monday after a court-ordered X-ray showed a tumor in Daniel’s chest was growing. Doctors have said the tumor will likely kill Daniel without conventional treatment, but Colleen Hauser favors healing methods of an American Indian religious group.
