■ BOSTON — The story of Chad
jpreen, who died of leukemia after
his parents fled from the jurisdiction
of Massachusetts courts, has become
Bmarketable item worth a million
dollars to his parents, the Boston
Sunday Globe reported.
I Gerald Green told the newspaper
he and his wife Diana had turned
down a $100,000 offer from one of
the publishers competing for the
book rights to the story of their 3-
ear-old son’s fight for life because,
it’s worth a million.
I “It’s exhausting trying to keep up

with it all,” said Green, in an inter
view with the Globe in Hastings,
Neb., where the couple has been
living since Chad’s burial last month.
The Globe also quoted the cou
ple’s attorney, William Ginsburg of
Atlanta, as saying money is expected
“to roll in by the millions.”
A contract negotiator in Gins
berg’s office told the newspaper he
has a two-page list of sources vying
for book and screen rights to the
story.
Ginsberg would not disclose how
much he was getting in legal fees.
but noted that “what I might get out
of this eventually is a book on the
legal ramifications of the case. ”
Chad died Oct. 12 after his pa
rents reportedly decided to cut off
the chemotherapy treatments he
had been receiving at a Tijuana cli
nic, preferring to treat the boy with
the controversial drug Laetrile and a
special diet.
When the Greens left for Mexico,
doctors had given the boy an 80 per
cent chance of being cured. Labora
tory evidence indicated he was in
complete remission and virtually
cancer-free.
“If the boy remained on che
motherapy, he would be alive to
day,” said Dr. Julio Selva, a blood
specialist at the Tijuana clinic where
Chad was treated. Selva said he
warned the boy s parents against tak
ing him off the treatments.
The newspaper reported a month
long inquiry it had conducted re
vealed Chad was neither as happy
nor as healthy during his nine
months in Tijuana as the public has
been led to believe.
A psychologist, who told a tele
vised press conference the boy had
died a “psychogenic” death due to
homesickness, received his training
through correspondence courses at
an unaccredited South Carolina in
stitution, the Globe said.
The Green’s contention that they
were forced into a frugal life style as
fugitives from a rigid medical and
legal system is questioned by offi
cials, including Massachusetts Assis
tant Attorney General Jonathan
Brant, who argued the state’s case
against the Greens in court, the pap
er said.
