Support Dalton’s Legacy & the Fight for Parental Rights
Our family spent seven weeks fighting for our son after a near-drowning accident. During that time, we learned firsthand how powerless parents can become once their child enters the hospital system.
Dalton made great progress, and we saw him waking up. Sadly his healthcare provider didn’t agree, and though we fought, trying to get him more time to prove all we saw in the hours, days, weeks, and months we watched over him, we lost because of one word.
Precidence.
Instead of partnership, we often felt dismissed. Instead of hope, we were met with discouragement. We believed our son deserved time, compassion, and every opportunity possible for healing. We believed parents should have the right to ask questions, seek additional medical opinions, request further testing, transfer care when possible, and remain active participants in life-altering decisions involving their child.
What we experienced changed our lives forever.
Now, we are speaking out not only for our son, Dalton, but for families everywhere who have felt unheard while fighting for their children.
Dalton’s story matters. His life mattered. And through his legacy, we hope to bring awareness, accountability, and change.

## Why We Are Fighting
We believe families deserve stronger protections when their children are in critical medical care.
Parents should never feel silenced, intimidated, or powerless while advocating for their child.
We are calling for:
* The right to informed consent without coercion.
* The right to independent second and third medical opinions.
* Transparent review processes for end-of-life determinations, and the ability to deny testing that is not within their religious beliefs.
* The right to have additional testing when confounding factors may exist.
* Greater protection for families seeking transfers of care or outside consultation.
* Humane conflict resolution between hospitals and families before court intervention becomes necessary, and the time allowed to present issues in court if resolutions are not able to be met.
* Respect for parental rights, religious beliefs, and medical decision-making. Parents should have full rights to deny testing and therapies.
* Accountability and transparency within pediatric critical care systems. Doctors should have to prove to the parents what they are presenting is facts, and not personal beliefs or opinions when the end result could mean death.
We believe medical decisions involving children should prioritize collaboration with families, respect for human life, and careful consideration before irreversible decisions are made.

## Share Your Story
If your family has experienced medical intimidation, loss of parental rights in a hospital setting, conflicts over treatment decisions, or concerns regarding pediatric critical care, we encourage you to speak out.
Too many families suffer in silence.
By sharing these experiences, we can help bring attention to the need for accountability, transparency, and stronger protections for parents and children.

## Stand With Us
This issue goes beyond one child or one family.
Across the country, families are struggling to be heard during the most devastating moments of their lives. No parent should lose their voice simply because their child is hospitalized.
We are asking supporters, advocates, lawmakers, medical professionals, faith communities, and families to stand with us in demanding compassionate care, transparency, and respect for parental rights.
Together, we can bring these stories into the light.
Together, we can fight for change.
Together, we can honor Dalton’s legacy and every other child’s who has suffered his fate.
