Why were her children ordered to live with their father in France? Then, imagine your child being trapped in a body he or she cannot control -- wracked with violent involuntary movements, constant outbursts and blood-curdling screams.

See heartbreaking home video, and find out why Amy and Chris say they are scared for their 8-year-old son, Logan. Are there any treatment options for Sarah that don’t involve brain surgery?
