Terrible situation to be in for all concerned. You can totally understand the family's position, but as an outsider I can't help thinking there is no realistic possibility the lad will ever recover.

Very very sad indeed.

A hell I can only imagine. My heart goes out to the parents.

I live locally and it is such a sad situation. As a parent I would fight too but sadly, the medics know best.

I agree pal,as parents they are obviously going to cling on to any glimmer of hope.

Looking at photos of Archies mother before and after his accident in the papers this morning literally brought tears to my eyes.
What a f*cking woman.

The world is fckd.
Only the other day parents found guilty of killing their child, and Archie's parents will do anything to keep him alive.
