As for the latter, I mentioned the Vatican Hospital scam in my post.
But there is the other point will emphasise again, Children have rights. They are not the property of their parents, they are their own persons and as such, their rights should be protected. The state has legal obligations to protect the rights of children, it is why things like child protection services exist too. In this case, the parents might have the best of intentions, but their actions would have caused their child suffering. There was no treatment, only torture. If there was treatment, the courts would have allowed the child to be moved to another country. If there was no reasonable suspicion of suffering either, they would have allowed the child to move. The state is not some cruel apparatus out to screw everyone over, even if that is your ideological belief.
The definition of Tyranny is as follows: "cruel, unreasonable, or arbitrary use of power or control."
It wasn't cruel, it was reasonable, and the decision was not arbitrary nor was the use of power or control. It was completely justified. As such, the action was not tyrannical. You may have your opinion, but this does not change the facts.
