OT - Charlie Gard

[OldRobert 38]

Poor little boy has just lost his fight.  What a brave little fighter.  Rest in Peace now, free of pain.  Probably one of the saddest stories of late.

Yes so many legal and moral points to be considered but at the end of it all it''s a baby''s life, RIP.

I''ve been following his little short life and it really was a sad one.

His Mum & Dad did all they could to try and get him better but it just wasn''t to be for him

So sad for his family.

Poor kid. Bradley Lowery was tragic enough but at least he had chance to experience things, this kid never had anything but a hospital room and the love of his incredibly brave parents. RIP Charlie.

Agree with all already said, thought his parents were brilliant throughout and really fought the battle of their lives, sad that Great Ormond Street got some adverse comments,  they were in a no win situation.RIP Charlie.

The parents have raised such a huge amount of money towards trying to find a cure or miracle, yet some court room decides they wouldnt even allow them one more week to reach his 1st birthday. A sad end to a sad situation. I hope the parents find some peace in time, and can stick together through tough times ahead.

GOSH is a world famous paediatric hospital. The idea that their doctors would try to impede a viable treatment is risible. The parents will naturally cling to any hope or belief that will preserve their baby''s life however the cruel truth is that in such cases the medical staff will be more objective. A sad, sad case for all concerned.

Agreed Crafty. A tragic situation and my heart goes out to the parents but the court decision was ultimately based on what was best for the boy.

The tabloids and social media created a sh1tstorm around this very tragic case, of course his parents wanted to do everything they could for him , who could blame them.
