Now please let this poor child have a peaceful death.
Thank fuck, now hopefully this poor bastard can slip away.
Every fucking year there’s one of these stories, and every year it’s that same fucking faith group funding them.
I hope this can finally be done now. Archie’s death is a tragedy but the mother is slowly eroding my sympathy with her Facebook antics, whipping the mob up against the hospital
What I dont understand, and it is probably some legal technicality, is how can we do this for this boy but at the same time say we are unwilling to let terminally I’ll people fly to Switzerland for euthanasia?
>The family’s lawyer has told Sky News that Archie’s parents still plan to try to take the case to the UN or the European courts, despite the supreme court’s failure to intervene.
I can’t see how this would be possible; they were given 48 hours on Monday, then were given an additional 24 hours on Wednesday. They’ve run out every deadline; it’s over. This circus needs to end, for the boys sake.
This is honestly a good outcome, because it means he can die peacefully. He no longer has to be subject to cruel attempts to keep him alive, even though there was absolutely no way it could’ve been possible. The life support should’ve been turned off weeks ago, yet his frankly selfish and delusional mother has prolonged that for far too long based on utter bollocks faith
Furthermore, she’s seemingly spent all this time mouthing off on Facebook about the doctors and the hospital. I have absolutely no sympathy for her now she’s decided to form an alliance of equally barmy Facebook mums. Thankfully, she can finally shut her gob and realise that this is the best outcome for her son, which is the absolutely the most important aspect of this—something she clearly hasn’t put much thought into
Is there a reason why these child-on-life-support cases get so much media attention.
I feel for them I really do as someone with 3 kids get another doctor to give a second opinion by all means but all these court cases is just madness, he’s brain dead! Slowly rotting away taking up space & doctors/nurses time perhaps if he’d been aloud to die a few months ago his organs could have gone to help others
The body is just a vessel his spirit is gone
It’s an absolute clusterfuck of grief, guilt, despair and a bunch of grifters preying on each other.
Grief can make people do the craziest things and I’m sure this was originally borne from absolute heart wrenching pain.
But somewhere along the way they have forgotten the person at the heart of the situation and instead of allowing him to pass peacefully and with dignity they have made his inevitable death into a dog and pony show.
All of my sympathy is with Archie who should have been at peace by now.
One day his mum is going to have to face the fact she failed her son when he needed her to be at her strongest and that’s going to be a hard thing to recover from.
Sad, sad situation

I hope they can disconnect life support without further drama. It’s been a shitshow, the family need to spend the remaining time with Archie instead of stiring up FB mobs.
I wonder if we charged her for the NHS costs going forward she would change her mind pretty quickly
Just let the poor child rest in peace, its no way to live or fair to keep him alive for their own selfish reasons.
> Following the decision, his mother told Sky News: “I think that this country has let Archie down miserably.”
The country let him down? He was found at home with a “ligature” around his neck, that screams parental negligence… **you** let him down.
I have a question regarding this case and I dont mean it to sound insensitive.
I read that his mum claimed he was doing a TikTok challenge that got him to end up this way but I’ve also read it was a suicide attempt. Is there actually a definitive answer?
What infuriates me about these types of cases is the families tend to whip up a frenzied mob who then make the hospitals volatile for staff and other children. I remember the case a few years back in Liverpool, the Behaviour of some of the absolute cretins outside alder hey was embarrassing, staff being heckled wards being called and abused, other people in there worried about their kids and mourning while the mob runs amok. It’s heartbreaking when anybody passes away but miracles don’t often happen and the medical staff do all they can, sometimes a body just can’t sustain life anymore it really is that simple
It’s sad to see, but can’t blame the parents for wanting to hold on, there are a few examples of doctors thinking turning off the machine is best, but next of kin hold on a few days and a recovery has happened, though these are rare and certainly not the same time frame in this case.
