A Florida judge has denied custody to the parents of a 4-year-old boy with leukemia after they stopped chemotherapy treatments and sparked a missing endangered child warning when they disappeared to another state.

A court in May had already ruled that Noah McAdams, then aged 3, must continue chemotherapy treatment against the wishes of his parents.
