Mother says church baptized her disabled child against his will -- and the courts are refusing hear to her case

Summary:

"April DeFibaugh signed her son up with a mentoring organization Big Brother Big Sister. DeFibaugh’s son is disabled. His mentor took him to get baptized without the approval of the son or his mother. The son has since suffered from recurring nightmares of himself drowning...."

PS: If we leave out the nightmares about drowning, there's a difficult "harm" question here.
