In his latest comments. the father clearly says that they are waiting on the meeting with the hospital and hopefully it will be good for them. But if not he will be going back to court.
i have paraphrased the above a little
Its pure lunacy. its either his way or a threat.
Sorry lost any remaining sympathy for him with that. I feel; for the mother but not for this selfish mob stirring


"If the meeting doesn't go well today, well then I'll go back to court."

After your post, inevitably I did start reading the comments.

I thought it was just the poor child with very limited brain function. I was badly mistaken.

I read the comments frown

I should have listened to you.

I can only hope that these people have markers put on them so that when the time comes they are allocated the last space ship off the planet and might not make it.

Someone should call these tts bluff now, let them take their kid home with no outside assistance as that’s what they want, them when the kid still doesn’t get any better watch them come back begging for help and tell them to fk off.

See what the army of chav scum thinks then. Failing that if anyone happens to be going past the crowd outside in a rented van and has a bit of a mental brake down....


Really can’t wait for this st to be over now, they’ll forget about it within a few days when one of their equally chav scum mates decides to shag someone else in their inbred circle of family and friends and they can post criptic messages to no me who gives a st about how much of a tt they are.

You may be able to tell my sympathy has officially left the building.

I too read the comments. What a mistake.

Then I heard a guy on radio 2 saying the experts know nothing and that he doesn't go to the doctor.

At least social media will be an invaluable resource for future historians in studying the collapse of our society.

Watching and reading the Facebook comments from the baying mob...I can't help but think of The Life of Brian
These people really should still be living in caves, but they're not, and the only difference is they have Facebook to rile up the even more mental Americans eek

Yes, many of those comments make me despair for the future. The readiness with which some people are prepared to accuse doctors and nurses of being "murderers" and their willingness to do it in full public view on social media is appalling.

Indeed. I thought the woman espousing the superiority of the American healthcare system because insurance gives parents the right to choose the doctor for their child was particularly special, ignoring as she did where that leaves the many Americans who can't afford health insurance.

Have we really reached a tipping point in society where education is so undervalued that those with none have an equal say in matters they know nothing about as those with extensive knowledge?
Thanks for the enlightening post Wiccan, even without the specific answers to what the poor kid is suffering from, you explain things in a way that makes even a relative numpty like me understand what is happening and why prolonging life if futile. I have to say, the above is what really worries me, when society stops valuing knowledge and experience, it loses it purpose.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. However, two things have gone wrong.
1. Whilst everyone is entitled to their own opinion, no one is entitled to their own facts.
2. Not all opinions are equal.

In this case, the opinions of medical experts are worth more than the opinion of some fat tattooed bint in leggings puffing on a fag outside the hospital.
Unfortunately all "experts" in their field were discredited at the last election, referendum and Trump campaign. Not much hope of reversing that for the pondlife.

Indeed, the irony that Gove - the most damaging and destructive education secretary in years, so thoroughly denounced the benefits of an education that leads to expert knowledge and understanding would be funny if it wasn't so desperately sad and damaging.

Still, I think we can all agree that the only thing Michael Gove is an expert at is being an utterly obnoxious and odious individual, surely?

I caught the part where the father states the doctors misdiagnosed his son and how he'd known this all along.
What, in his expert opinion, is the correct diagnosis then?

Do they hand out medical textbooks with every purchase from 'The North Face' these days?

Exactly - a position Alfie's parents would undoubtedly be in if they were from the same social background in the US.

Of course they won’t donate it.

The dad is probably pissed that Charlie G’s cause raised £1.3m. 10x more.

Don’t see his parents rushing to assist financially or emotionally.
At best they’ll set up a ‘charity’ in the boy’s name and milk it as long as they can.

More fool the idiots who’ve donated.

The sad thing is that his behaviour shows he’s more bothered about saying ‘listen to me wah wah wah’ than actually trying to make a point showing he cares about his poor son.

Just for a bit of balance, there is this point, which I am struggling with.

She said: “If the parents want to move the child to another hospital, they have the right to chose a doctor, the right to chose where the child will be treated, and no one should deny them that right.

Clearly the child's welfare should be the number one priority. But the best guardians of that welfare should in 99.9% of cases be the parents.

I fully support Alder Hey, I urge you all to donate to them, but should a court really have this power ?
