NEW ULM, Minn. (AP) — An attorney says a 13-year-old Minnesota boy who fled the state last week to avoid cancer treatment has returned and is being evaluated by a doctor.
Attorney Tom Hagen, whose law office represents Daniel Hauser’s parents, said Daniel was being evaluated at a hospital in the Twin Cities on Monday
Hagen also said the boy’s mother, Colleen Hauser, was not in police custody. An arrest warrant had been issued for her after she and Daniel fled last week, but authorities had urged her to return on her own.
