There is plenty of precedent that if a parent endangers their own child, the government can come in and take the child away. I didn't bother to read the link, so I don't know the details here, but if the real doctors can offer real healing, and the parent's treatment would injure the child, then the government has every right to step in.
However, if the real doctors are just going to poke and prod the kid, and still be unable to heal him, and the mom is going to do something to make him more comfortable and not harm him, then the mom should be able to be a mom.
It really depends. I have to assume the judge looked at the facts and looked out for the kid's best interests.
