The jist of this article is that the hospital broke the law in the state of Washington because a court order was not secured before the procedures were implemented. The hospital did admit the error, but also claimed that the family consulted a lawyer beforehand, and they were assured they did not need a court order.
Does this mean that such a case will never happen again in the future? Unfortunately, no. But at least there was wrongdoing alleged and admitted to. It doesn't do a damn thing to change what Ashley went through. But maybe it will make it harder on the next family that wants to do this to their child.
