Continuation of the discussion.

It looks highly unlikely that there will be a verdict today as GOSH have not yet been able to put their case across. The Gard family had their position heard this morning and currently an expert witness from the US is being questioned via video link.

I can't seem to upload the screenshot to the Met using the contact us form, there's no attachment option. Am I missing something?

His poor mother; I suspect they have been so caught up in their own denial about his condition that it must be incredibly difficult to hear the evidence to the contrary.

JustDanceAddict · 13/07/2017 18:08

Poor Charlie is all I will say. He needs to have a dignified death, not be a guinea pig.

This is beyond ajoke now! Connie and Chris are extremely exhausted and they want their son to get the treatment any parent would fight like Connie and Chris are! But i bet you any money that if this was Gosh's member of staff child that their child would get treatment or if connie and chris was rich it would be automatically done!

Erm, love, you know that £2m you and your mates raised? That's not small change, connie and chris are rich...

Had a quick peep at the CA page. Amazing how some are trying to justify the threats or act like they never happened, I saw one suggestion that GOSH set the threats up.

JustDanceAddict · 13/07/2017 18:10

Omg Clopy - these people are scum

muckypup73 · 13/07/2017 18:11

ClopySow, that seriously needs reporting.

MidnightAura · 13/07/2017 18:12

I've missed a lot today. Going back to check. No outcome today?

Redglitter · 13/07/2017 18:12

I love the outrage from some of them about the threats and how they've never seen any threats towards GOSH on the CA pages. They really are on another planet

GabsAlot · 13/07/2017 18:13

someone on twittr said it was a gosh set up

ffs

muckypup73 · 13/07/2017 18:13

Redglitter, its unreal.

JonSnowsWhore · 13/07/2017 18:13

Has anyone just seen the news coverage on itv? No wonder CA are so deluded if this is what they're being told! They chose to only focus on the quote about there being up to a 56% chance of the treatment helping Charlie, not put into context at all about this being tested on cases different to Charlie's, no mention of the brain damage not being able to be reversed. It's all there in the court notes but theyve completely ignored it all

Writerwannabe83 · 13/07/2017 18:14

I've just seen one CA member post and suggest they all put some money into Connie's bank account so she can go out for a meal.... Confused

Peepeep · 13/07/2017 18:14

ClopySow Shock Angry

The mouth-to-mouth comment sums up CA to he honest. The stupidity is astonishing.

GabsAlot · 13/07/2017 18:15

dosnt surprise me jon

shame they do this though thats why so many people cant undrstand why he wont get treatment if thyer not being told everything

JustDanceAddict · 13/07/2017 18:16

I have reported the Auswizch comment to FB - made me feel better anyway.

rabbitnothare · 13/07/2017 18:16

JonSnowsWhore that's a headline in the mail too. Why?

nina2b · 13/07/2017 18:16

The CA lot are not the sharpest knives in the drawer.

GabsAlot · 13/07/2017 18:17

its just going to whip thm up again isnt it

11122aa · 13/07/2017 18:17

I have a feeling the Mail and Itv beleive that angle is the most popular in the country.

SomeDyke · 13/07/2017 18:17

"I saw one suggestion that GOSH set the threats up."
I was expecting that.

I have just read this piece:
www.statnews.com/2017/07/13/charlie-gard-life-support-ethics/?s_campaign=trendmd
which explains a bit about the very different situation in the US versus the UK. Perhaps many people used to US dramas, don't realise that we do take a slightly different view here in the UK, and that Charlie has his own guardian, the parents wishes are not paramount.

MommaGee · 13/07/2017 18:18

Been out all day, no phone. So another postponement?

rabbitnothare · 13/07/2017 18:19

Why does it even matter if people have been threatening GOSH? Surely that's a whole different matter. This is about saving Charlie and getting him his treatment 😣

Some of them don't care still.
