Archie Battersbee

The 12-year-old has died in hospital after his life support was withdrawn following a legal battle.

"Such a beautiful little boy and he fought right until the very end and I'm so proud to be his mum." He never regained consciousness. His mother, Hollie Dance, said: "Such a beautiful little boy, and he fought right until the very end."

Mother says she has 'done everything' for son after failed legal bid to move him to hospice before death.

They said: “It follows that the proposed appeal has no prospect of success and there is no other compelling reason for the court of appeal to hear an appeal.” The court of appeal judges said Mrs Justice Theis’ ruling in the high court dealt “comprehensively with each of the points raised on behalf of the parents”. A spokesman for the European court said it had received a request from representatives of Archie’s parents under Rule 39, which allows it to apply “interim measures” in “exceptional” cases, and that the complaints “fell outside the scope” of that rule, and so it would not intervene. Ms Dance said: “It’s been really hard. In a high court ruling on Friday morning, Mrs Justice Theis said it was not in Archie’s best interests to be moved to a hospice and the Court of Appeal rejected permission to appeal against that decision. Shelley Elias (43) said she had come to the Royal London Hospital because “I wanted his mum Hollie and the family to know I was thinking of them”.

Shelley Elias, 43, said she had come to the Royal London Hospital because "I wanted his mum Hollie and the family to know I was thinking of them". In an interview with Sky News, recorded yesterday, Hollie Dance said she is "pretty broken" and that the day had been "absolutely awful".

"I don't think doctors should be able to bring a case like this to court. That does not help anyone. "They have different political, or other views and they have a reason or a wish to tell the parents things that may not be accurate. "Of course, we have to have them there to have some order in the system but it can feel as if you would like to call for a time out." "Court is an important thing for everywhere, but this subject is for the parents to decide what is best for their child. Alta Fixsler's father, Abraham, believes firmly that it should be for the parents to decide what is in the best interests of their child.

After weeks of legal battles, 12-year-old British schoolboy Archie Battersbee has died after his life support was removed.

Speaking through tears outside the Royal London Hospital, she said: “His stats remained completely stable for two hours until they completely removed ventilation and he went completely blue. “He was such a beautiful little boy and he fought right until the very end, and I am so proud to be his mum.” Speaking outside the Royal London Hospital, his mother Hollie Dance said her “beautiful little boy” died at 12.15pm today.

The 12-year-old had been in a coma since he was found unconscious by his mother Hollie Dance in April.

Ms Dance added: “It’s been really hard. “I just wanted the mum and her family to know that I am here for them. “He was such a beautiful little boy and he fought right until the very end, and I am so proud to be his mum.”

His family have been spending their final hours with the 12-year-old after being told his life support would be withdrawn on Saturday morning.

That he's progressing, not deteriorating like the doctor said that he would." "I don't think I'm holding on to hope, I'm just asking for a realistic time for my child to recover from a brain injury. "I don't think I'm holding on to hope, I'm just asking for a realistic time for my child to recover from a brain injury."

The 12-year-old has died after his life support was withdrawn, following a four-month legal fight.

Doctors believe it is “highly likely” that the child is in effect dead and that it is in his best interests to stop life-support treatment. Their application to the ECHR, arguing that the high court’s ruling violated the European convention on human rights, fails. In the family division of the high court, Arbuthnot oversees three days of evidence and argument about Archie’s treatment. Royal London hospital sets a date for Archie’s treatment to be withdrawn, on 1 August at 2pm. He is taken to hospital with traumatic head injuries. Barts Health, the NHS trust in charge of Archie’s care at the Royal London hospital, starts proceedings in the high court to test his brain stem and to withdraw mechanical ventilation.

The decision to terminate the brain-damaged boy's life support was made by a British court over his parents' protests.

Pope Francis and Polish President Andrzej Duda spoke in defence of Alfie, with President Duda suggesting he could grant the boy Polish citizenship if the parents requested it and for him to be treated in a Polish hospital. Alfie Evans was eventually granted Italian citizenship, but ultimately he was not transferred to Italy and died in the same hospital in which he spent almost a year and a half of his life. The parents were also refused to take the boy out of the hospital and put him in a hospice, where he could receive palliative care. The case of Archie Battersbee was not the first one in which a UK court decided to terminate life support for a child, siding with the doctors over the protests of its parents. Archie’s heartbroken mother said that the state effectively took away their right to make decisions about the well-being of their child. “The Court [...] decided not to issue the interim measure sought.

British courts Friday rejected the family's request to move the 12-year-old, who has been in a coma for four months, to a hospice.

Under British law, it is common for courts to intervene when parents and doctors disagree on a child's medical treatment. "I return to where I started, recognizing the enormity of what lays ahead for Archie's parents and the family. The hospital said Archie's condition was so unstable that moving him would hasten his death.

But doctors treating the boy had declared Archie to be "brain stem dead", and argued that the youngster should be disconnected from a ventilator.

"They provided high-quality care with extraordinary compassion over several months in often trying and distressing circumstances. It's been really hard. It's barbaric." Chief executive Andrea Williams said: "The events of the last few weeks raise many significant issues including questions of how death is defined, how those decisions are made and the place of the family. "The events of the last few weeks raise many significant issues including questions of how death is defined, how those decisions are made and the place of the family," the Christian Legal Centre says. "Urgent review and reform" is needed in light of Archie Battersbee's death, a group that has been supporting his family has said.

Dr F said what needs to be looked for is movement in the chest, which has not been observed." Ms Dance added: "It's been really hard. Documents published on August 5 read: "Dr F’s evidence was clear and I accept it that such changes in the display are invariably caused by other factors, such as moisture caused by saturation when removed, the white lines goes. They said he is a prime candidate for treatment because he's only 12 years old. The 12-year-old was in hospital since April after suffering a catastrophic brain injury. "So I'm going to continue to make sure Archie's name lives on.

The 12-year-old's family say they were "stripped of all our rights" in a legal battle with doctors.

His family failed in a series of attempts to overturn the decision and since his death have called for parents to have more support and choice in the treatment of their child. The family called for a public inquiry into the role of the NHS and the High Court Family Division in end-of-life cases. He never regained consciousness.

The 12-year-old died in the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel, east London, on Saturday, after weeks of legal battles.

“We are thankful for the huge amount of support we’ve received from so many different people. Since the death of Charlie, Mr Gard and Ms Yates have been campaigning for “Charlie’s Law”, which would give parents of sick children more support and choice in the treatment of their child. “We want something good to come out of this tragedy and the horrendous experience we have been put through by the system. “We were backed into a corner by the system, stripped of all our rights, and have had to fight for Archie’s real ‘best interests’ and right to live with everything stacked against us. In recent days, his parents had made bids to the High Court, Court of Appeal and European Court of Human Rights to have him transferred to a hospice to die, but these were rejected. The family of Archie Battersbee in the UK have said they “want something good to come out of this tragedy” as they vowed to call for “change”.
