Charlie Gard 20

[CremeFresh]

Don't know if anyone else has started a new thread .

I think so Puzzled

It's time for the parents families to stop them looking at social media. Yes there are horrible comments but that is the nature of the beast. It's time to stop reading and start saying goodbye.

It must be so hurtful for CY to be reading all those nasty comments on the Sun article. This is not the time to care about what some strangers think or try and convince them of her beliefs. It's time to find some peace and focus just on Charlie. When she looks back at this time few years later, she really should have only the time spent with Charlie in her memories...not what the Sun readers thought of her actions!

When someone takes a very strong view and fight publicly for it, they are always going to attract support and criticism. She will never have the whole world agreeing with her. Why waste your time engaging with these people? Why do this at this time?

The Sun are probably loving all the traffic Maryz

The sun won't turn off comments, they'll be loving it unfortunately!

God, the Sun's Facebook page is awful. That poor kid is practically juxtaposed with "what's happened to Phil Mitchell's eyebrows?" Classy.

I despair of humanity sometimes i really do

Does anyone think CY has read these threads?

I've wondered the same myself ... in fact if she wants to go online at all, I've often thought she could do a lot worse than engage with the many wise posters on MN

I was wondering what she was doing on the Sun's FB page, I know everyone has different coping mechanisms, but texting and commenting takes time, and diverts your EYES away from Charlie...I would have to gently tell her to switch it off and put the phone down, every minute counts now and she will probably regret commenting to random strangers on the web on what could be her last evening with Charlie...this post was meant in the kindest way of course.

I cannot imagine how it feels to read those comments about yourself and your child. It's heartbreaking to see her torturing herself like this. I'm not sure what she can hope to gain other than another target for her (understandable) rage.

Her comments on the Sun page seem a bit ., how to put it... a bit detached almost, like bunfighty looking from the outside type....

I think that a friend or relative could be running SM accounts

I think maybe she has stopped posting thank goodness. I really hate SM sometimes it is addictive at the best of times.

Puzzled I've thought that too. Especially the open letter someone posted on the last thread/one before maybe.
There have been so many stories & so much sympathy I'm sure it would have been more helpful than reading comments hoping for a miracle cure/Trump/007 on the CA page

After my sister died my mum had a rage at the NHS and NICE. It was misplaced, but I do sort of understand the anger and distrust.

Poor little boy.

I wish Connie hadn't read those comments. She's reporting nasty comments!

She should be doing anything other than reporting trolls to Facebook!

Where's her family and friends? Why isn't she being looked after!

People do spend quite a lot of time on their phones in NICU. Obviously you want to stare at your baby a lot, but you can do a lot of staring at a sleeping baby and still have a lot of time for other stuff.

I do worry about both of them after he is gone.

Not so sure it is Connie. Could be a hacker took her account? You know there are some sick buggers in the world. I really don't want to believe it is Connie.

Jesus Christ Maryz what?? I meant that her comments seem emotionally disconnected - like the sort that happens when grief has jaded and jaded and jaded and jaded to a point where one seems mechanised, almost as though one is fighting because one "has to" fight. Like there isn't an option. Like there isn't the option to say to oneself "it's okay to stop".

I am the mother of a toddler asleep in the next room. To think that this was construed as some version of blaming a mother about to lose her child after all my contributions on previous threads and indeed on mumsnet is so bizarre.

Over to you. Peace for all and for the poor parents most of all. Bye.

I've lurked on mulitple threads, never posted. Thank you to everyone for their input shining a light with balanced information and experience not set out in the mainstream media.
In my mind CY is still posting because stopping means accepting that the fight is over and sometimes it is easier to fight than it is to turn and face what is ahead of you. Who can blame them? Nobody here I know.
