Alfie Evans

[Enoughisenough18]

I'm really sorry I know to lose any child is the most tragic thing ever but aibu to think that alfies army should just let him rest In peace and leave his poor parents to grieve.

I'm so fed up with seeing posts and comments from people who didn't know the child and doesn't know the parents. Their still selling merchandise I'm just starting to think their taking the piss a bit now and actually it's started to cheapen the whole thing as almost every post reminds people that their the only ones authorised to sell merchandise. It's all just getting out of hand now I've unliked the group but still see regular updates as I have friends and family still part of it but there's nothing to update on any more it's just the same people (not the parents) refusing to let go of this little boy.

I'm sorry to rant but why is this child's death more important then anyone else's? Why are people profiting from this tragedy the way I see it alfies army are no more then thugs trying to storm a hospital full of other sick kids.

Okay and breathe, I'm really sorry of this upsets anyone but seeing this kind of stuff day in day out is really upsetting for people who have lost children you're just left wondering why your kid never mattered it's like they think Alfie is the only child ever to pass away.

I feel for the parents but alfies army need to give it a rest now.

Jesus. Stop looking.

I do try to it pops up everywhere on my news feed for some reason I can't work out why.

Who would you even follow this page on FB?

why would you

What do you mean follow? I unliked the group i only ever joined it as at the time I really wanted to see the updates of the poor little boy I unliked after the supporters started acting like hooligans acting like the other children in the hospital didn't matter. I see stuff constantly do you know how to make it so i dont see stuff? I'm not fantastic with fb I'm afraid

Agreed op.

If you’re on the app, click the three wee dots at the right of the post header and you can hide all posts.

Mz thanks it doesn't make me feel any better that anyone agrees with me I've just seen a lot of it recently and at first it really upset me but now it I go between feeling angry and distressed by it all... oh and then feel hugs amounts of guilt for feeling angry as it's wasn't the child's fault he didn't ask for all this ridiculous publicity.

Thank you agent you are a star!

If you see a post shared from the page, click the three dots in the top right of the post and select 'Hide all posts from xxxx page"

This should stop you seeing them in your feed. Obviously, if you still see people creating their own posts about the subject, you have the option to snooze their posts for 30 days, or just unfollow them.

Click on the three little dots in the top right corner of the post. That will give you a drop down menu with options including hide the post. If you do that often enough they should stop appearing. Fb works by showing you things you have shown an interest in so you have to actively tell it to stop by hiding/unfollowing/unliking and so forth.

That explains it probably why I see adverts on Facebook for stuff I buy online I thought it was really weird.

Isn't that post from the dad's sister? So Alfie's auntie? So not a stranger who never met the boy. Just do the dots thing that has been suggested.

OP it sort of reminds me of the little girl, Madeleine McCann, who was taken when her parents left her in a hotel room so they could enjoy themselves one evening.

I live in the U.S. and those parents were on all the talk shows here talking about their child. I wondered why do they think they are so important when there are are hundreds, if not thousands of missing children here in the U.S. whose parents never did anything to enable their children's disappearance. There was no sense of shame in them.

I'm more referring to the 2.5k comments that just happens to be the post that popped up tonight.

I'm not saying people should forget little Alfie or anything like that i just think they should start settling down. All of this can't be doing the parents any good and with thousands of people trying to have their claim over him. The main thing that upsets me is when they go on about merchandise I've just started getting the impression this is becoming more about fame and money then anything else and it's not fair to alfies memory.

The McCann case was different as regardless of what happened to that little girl the parents are atleast partly to blame in this case the parents are completely blameless with what happened to their son but they didn't do anything to keep their army in check all of a sudden everyone became a doctor and I'm sorry I dont care what anyone says you only had to look into the lads eyes to know he was badly brain damaged tough for a parent to see I know but the supporters should of known better.
