I know exactly what It is like to have a poorly child same as hundreds more parents in the uk.
Set aside my belief that I believe that bradley has very little dignity and both him and charlie are now used as some weird sort of click bait.

The supporters I do not understand it ?

We love you, we are heart broken and we will miss you.

Now I get empathy but this is not empathy this is media posts just gone crazy to write the most heart breaking post they can.
I wish neither of these children would have to lose their life and can undetstand the parents pain just like the rest of the terminally ill children in this country.

You can feel sad that these things happen but this just seems weird and could not imagine allowing a nation of people watching my child pass away.

I mean how many of them 2 years from now will wake up on the morning of their anniversary and automatically remember them ?

CA have lost the plot.
What do they think TM can do? She's not medically trained. She's going to take the advice of the hospital.
'We need to get them MRI scans to a court.' I think they've already seen them. Idiot.

MirandaWest · 05/07/2017 13:21

The vitriol being shown is alarming. And desperate.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 05/07/2017 13:21

GOSH can not defend or say what he is receiving

And a good thing too. Even if patient confidentiality allowed it - which it rightly doesn't - the hard of thinking are finding enough to rant about without having further details to chew on

About the Italian hospital's offer, though: given that Charlie's parents could probably afford to take him there, what's to stop GOSH simply saying "okay, over to you - sign the discharge papers, take him, do it all yourselves and remember that you'll be responsible for the consequences"?

I absolute realise this wouldn't be the best thing for Charlie, but then it seems to me that the current situation isn't either. So again, does anyone know if this could be done - or does the court order in some way prevent GOSH from releasing him now?

SilverLining17 · 05/07/2017 13:23

I feel sorry for TM in this instance.
'Heartless bitch. She hasn't got any kids so could never understand. Nature stopped the bitch having any.'

SilverLining17 · 05/07/2017 13:24

These people are disgusting. They can't get their own way so that are being horribly unpleasant instead. Someone has said TM covered up 'poor little maddie' too.

Alfieisnoisy · 05/07/2017 13:25

I honk it all comes down to what is in this child's best interests which involve prevention of further suffering.
If he can go without further suffering then it's fine but if he can't then it isn't okay to subject him to it.

SilverLining17 · 05/07/2017 13:30

I don't think FB should allow CA to post things like 'I hope one day you are ill like Charlie and someone does this to you' about TM. It is hugely unpleasant. Social media allows this sort of nastiness because people feel safe behind a screen. It worries me how horrible a lot of people really are.

Alittlepotofrosie · 05/07/2017 13:31

Disgusting evil people. I don't like theresa but she has to uphold the court system. Bringing the fact that she doesn't hand children into this is despicable.

I do have children and I still think that they are wrong to keep Charlie on a ventilator forever.

Trampire · 05/07/2017 13:32

Some of them are saying TM "covered up peodos" and then passed a law allowing "peodos to adopt kiddies"

I'm annoyed with myself that I can't stop looking at the CA page. It's like I want to send myself blind.

SilverLining17 · 05/07/2017 13:39

I need to stop looking because it's seriously affecting my faith in people.
I have children. I also think it is time to let Charlie go.

GinSoakedTwitchyPony · 05/07/2017 13:44

Surely this should not be allowed on FB ? :
"Death to those who want to end Charlie's life if they take a life they loose their life that's what it should be"

Oogle · 05/07/2017 13:45

I also can't stop looking at the CA page and I am horrified by their comments about TM. She doesn't understand because she doesn't have kids, apparently. One delightful individual has called her "barren".

Fuck me, their stupidity is breathtaking.

puzzled I would imagine the hospital has a duty of care to Charlie and allowing discharge would go against that. I could be wrong, though.

reallyanotherone · 05/07/2017 13:46

I can't believe they actually thought tm had the authority to overule the courts. Including the supreme court, the appeals court, and the european court.

They are now on about "protesting to get her sacked"

zeezeek · 05/07/2017 13:47

OMG. Have lurked on this thread and had a spare few minutes so have just checked out the FB page that you are all talking about.

Words fail me. I hate TM's politics and can't say I'm particularly enamoured with her as a person - but to call someone a vile cunt for upholding the decision of a court just shows how stupid these people are. And the comments about her not understanding because she doesn't have children is beyond despicable.

It is time that this madness ended. That child isn't going to live, unfortunately and nothing anyone does is going to reverse his fate. It's time to let go.

MirandaWest · 05/07/2017 13:47

I have the same problem Trampire. I seem to be drawn there.

The comments about her not having children and so being heartless about it are just so wrong I can't articulate it at all.

SilverLining17 · 05/07/2017 13:48

It's ok because they are 'going to get the queen involved' Confused

alpacasandwich · 05/07/2017 13:49

"no wonder why she is backing the hospital!! Because she doesnt know what love trully is!"

Fucking hell...

Redglitter · 05/07/2017 13:49

They're completely out of control now.

Social Media is a scary thing at times.

To read some of the comments you'd think Charlie had nothing more than a minor illness.

Someone needs to bring this situation to a conclusion one way or another NOW the mob mentality is getting worse by the day

Redglitter · 05/07/2017 13:51

It's ok because they are 'going to get the queen involved

Just shows how ignorant they are. There were calls earlier for the Cambridges to go & visit Charlie to show their support. Uh huh that's going to happen Hmm

GinSoakedTwitchyPony · 05/07/2017 13:52

Over the course of the last five days I've been reading CA on FB, Twitter etc and each day have thought "this is completely out of control".
But each day it's progressively worse! I keep thinking it can't get any worse but it is doing, each day.
This is scary.

alpacasandwich · 05/07/2017 13:53

Deneal S***: I think we can employ enough people lets just take him out of the hospital this is a joke

Clara I***: I agree, just take him and go

newestbridearound · 05/07/2017 13:55

They are getting more and more desperate as they have no information on what is going on inside GOSH (evidently from all the stupid accusations flying around) and so are clutching at straws to find anything to stop the ventilator being switched off before it is too late. Even if this is messaging the Queen, lighting up random unconnected buildings, protesting outside of again random unconnected buildings and tweeting anybody famous they can think of. I mean what exactly are Kim Kardashian and Jeremy Clarkson going to do Hmm

The longer it goes on the less it seems to be focused on the little boy in the centre of it all and more about CA 'winning' and showing that parents know best and that the government, law courts and NHS in our country are all corrupt.

MommaGee · 05/07/2017 13:55

It glad I can't post on there tbh, its keeping me out of trouble. Can't stand TM but she doesn't deserve this. I genuinely worry about the protests at the weekend and will be asking DH to not take the toddler into the city

GinSoakedTwitchyPony · 05/07/2017 13:55

It's horrific, alpaca.
