In this case, a six year old Saudi boy died on May 4 as a result of government-facilitated paternal negligence. Even though Almuthani Alsuaidan had been diagnosed with brain cancer, the family was informed that his life could be salvaged if he was taken abroad for further medical treatment (Instagram, 2017). Saudi doctors had confirmed to his mother that surgery could save him. The type of surgery that would make a difference, though, was not available in Saudi Arabia. This means that his mother would have to travel abroad with her son to get it. To be able to travel abroad, though, Almuthani Alsuaidan’s mother Fatima Dossari would require the permission of her ex-husband.
