A judge has postponed a decision on whether a mother should be allowed to prevent her son from receiving radiotherapy for brain cancer.

Sally Roberts, 37, has been told seven-year-old Neon could die if he did not receive the treatment.

She said she feared the treatment could do long-term harm.

At the High Court in London, Mr Justice Bodey said he would rule at a hearing beginning on 18 December - unless agreement could be reached beforehand.

'Lower IQ'

Sally Roberts went into hiding with her son on Wednesday, sparking a nationwide search before both were found unharmed.

The boy was operated on last year and a tumour was removed successfully.

Doctors have said it was "clearly" in Neon's best interests to undergo radiotherapy and chemotherapy, arguing the treatment was standard procedure and offered Neon the best chance.

However, Ms Roberts said she only wanted her son to have chemotherapy, as she feared radiotherapy would result in long-term brain damage, reducing his IQ, and also possibly making him infertile.
