woman with cancer loses custody of her kids

besides a terrible precedent this makes, something seems tragic here:
A judge has ruled that Alaina must give up both her children to her soon-to-be ex-husband on June 17th (so they can move to Chicago for his job) because she has Stage 4 Breast Cancer and there is no telling "how long she will live."

Alaina is strong, physically well, and gets monthly treatments. Her cancer is controlled-which means it's stable and not progressing. Not to mention- Durham, N.C. is h...ome of the Duke Cancer Institute (http://www.cancer.duke.edu/) where Alaina has her top-notch medical team. Alaina has a strong support system for her children in Durham, N.C. compared to Chicago- where there will be NO ONE besides the father of the children.

This is unfair, unjust, and needs to be stopped. No children should be taken away from their mother because of Breast Cancer. Alaina's battle against cancer should be the ONLY battle she should be fighting.
