By Mario Ledwith and Louise Boyle PUBLISHED: 09:32 EST, 5 December 2012 | UPDATED: 10:32 EST, 5 December 2012 An 11-year-old girl with leukaemia has been reportedly taken to Mexico by her parents because they believe her life was in danger at the Phoenix hospital where she was being treated. Emily Bracamontes had been receiving chemotherapy at Phoenix Children's Hospital for a month when her mother Norma removed an IV drip from her arm, changed her clothes and walked her out of the facility last Wednesday night. The parents said they took their daughter to Mexico because they believe she was 'threatened and intimidated' at the Arizona hospital and had contracted an infection while there which led to her arm being amputated.
