Here in the U.S. there are laws against child endangerment that would cover that. I'm not a bible scholar, but as I understand Jesus, he would not like it that the parents witheld treatment. I don't recall in any of Jesus' miracles where he put someone in danger. Morally, it is a case of someone making life or death decisions for someone else, much as I believe abortion is.
