Archie Battersbee: Family devastated as legal routes exhausted

Archie Battersbee suffered brain damage in an incident at home on 7 April and has not regained consciousness

The 12-year-old must spend his final days in hospital after the High Court ruled he could not move to a hospice.Her son has not regained consciousness since being found at his home in Southend, Essex, in April. She said the hospital had made it clear there were no more options and that life support would be withdrawn on Saturday.

They hoped to move him to a hospice but doctors warned he was too unstable to move by ambulance and it would "hasten premature deterioration".The family sought permission to appeal against the decision, but that bid was rejected by three justices at the Court of Appeal.

Not really life support is it though, the child was dead and had been since April.

She was broken a long time ago, hence the poor kid wacked himself.
