Parker was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma, a rare form of cancer, after a small tumor was removed from under his tongue. After his parents questioned the diagnosis and refused chemotherapy, Primary Children's Medical Center filed a medical neglect claim with the Division of Child and Family Services.

The agency received a court order to take custody of Parker, but dropped its efforts to make the boy undergo chemotherapy several months later.

The Jensens, who had briefly removed Parker from the state, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor custodial interference charge and in exchange, felony kidnapping charges were dropped.

Those convictions were eventually wiped off their records.

The pair sued state officials and doctors in 2005, saying they violated their constitutional right to decide what was best for their child. The lawsuit, which seeks unspecified monetary damages, is scheduled to go to trial in February 2009.

The Jensens' lawyer said Friday that Parker, now 17, is healthy with no sign of cancer.
