What authority to contact to turn in a Dr / parents who did not get appropriate treatment for minor w/ cancer

What authority to contact to turn in a Dr / parents who did not get appropriate treatment for minor w/ cancer?
A young boy who has Ewing's sarcoma who did not receive chemo. I believe the Dr's and parents are both guilty of withholding appropriate treatment. What authority could I contact to have this investigated?

Department of Health.
2 :
go to your state senator,governor or your state medical board.
3 :
Contact child protective services.
4 :
why are you in a position to determine 'APPROPRIATE" treatment? Are you a Dr yourself, or a parent to this child? In most cases, medical treatment is a decision between the parent and Dr. That is part of parental rights. The only authority who has any other rights is child protective services, and that might not go far.
