Charlie Gard 8

[cjt110]

New thread so that we can await this afternoon's hearing at 1400 (UK time)

Let's try to keep this one as sensible and measured as the past 7 threads have been.

Please note the MNHQ comment on thread number 7.

"Hi everyone,

..... We had to remove several parent-blaming posts, so we'd like to ask folk not to do this. We think we can all agree that this is a truly awful time for all involved and we just wouldn't wish it on anyone. If there's anything we could do with more of, it's support. We'll continue to remove reported posts that break TGs (if we've missed something, do feel free to let us know).

If we have to make too many deletions, we will need to look at removing the thread; which is the last thing we wish to do.

Thanks all"

Judge: any further tests need to be carried out before Monday's expert meeting.

Suggests they might have to be done regardless of the parents.

Thing is, if the parents are shut out they will just contest whatever happens in the meeting.

"Armstrong: It's fundamental to her rights that she be able to attend this meeting."

Well, that'll whip the mob into utter frenzy.

Thank you for the explanations!

The Parents counsel (Armstrong) is talking about Connie's rights again. What about Charlie's?

How many years training have these Doctors had? She can't have crammed in that much knowledge in a few months, surely.

appropriat comments what like my son likes watching his ipad

its getting ridiculous-thy refuse all scans yet thyere opinion needs to be heard

Armstrong: parents could sit in on expert meeting and contribute appropriate comments. Excluding them would be denying parents another right

The judge knows it will be too explosive after what happened in court, it's also really unfair on the experts.

@GabsAlot exactly.

Farcical, farcical, come on judge put your foot down and wtf does it mean charlie must not be moved without nudge knowing? Has he gone the treatment route???

Judge: Judge says its important that to encourage absolute openness among the clinicians that they're able to meet without the parents present.

Yes, what about Charlie's rights?

Move over to this Sky link if other appears frozen :

news.sky.com/story/live-charlie-gard-case-back-in-court-10948475

no sos hes just nicely making a point dont try and move him

Sostenueto It sounds like it could sway that way. Would Charlie nee travel documentation? HJF could order a port alert?

It seems increasingly clear that no one in the Gard camp is thinking about Charlie's rights. I don't think this is malicious but a very complex self delusion. I have seen something similar and it did not end well. I rally do hope that all those involved have access to and are will to take part in good counselling.

Thanks Gin

Well Connie thinks she knows more than GOSH so guess Armstrong is just presenting her views as her lawyer. Doesn't mean he has to believe what he is saying.

Judge: Charlie's mother is not qualified. Nor is she objective or independent. She can't be, it's not a criticism.

Does anyone know where I could praise the judge of this case?I feel very strongly that he has been exceptionally patient and has really handled the case extraordinarily well especially given circumstances

HMCourts and Trib service Lexie?

No it looks like the Gards want to keep Charlie alive at all costs no matter what.

Oops sorry had not refreshed the page, nice to see you back.
