To some yes, to others no.

Only to stupid people.

As his mother said this morning she did everything she could for her son, and I think hand on heart that is what any one of us would do if we were faced with a similar situation, she will have no regrets as she and her partner fought for him every step of the way

This absolutely.
Really beautifully expressed Cherie.
It would be nice if his Mother could read it.

The lad has gone now

Rest in peace little man

[Gusto Brunt]

I am disgusted.

I'll go back to what I said previously. If he had been a member of the Royal Family, life support would never have been turned off and the doctors would have been more optismistic.

Says it all really. :( RIP. :(

Rest in peace Archie.

R.I.P. Archie.
Bless him.

I also wish whatever peace may be possible for his Parents and Family.

Doctors/nurses and surgeon’s are there to save and prolong life but only if the patient will survive or have a minimum quality of life.

A friends son who was 17 was involved in a car accident they turned his machine off after he was declared brain dead.

It’s heartbreaking for all involved.

[hijaxers]

Pretty sure the whole country will be mourning the loss of this poor lad and all our thoughts go out to his brave parents. All so very sad.

[smudgie]

Rest in peace Archie.
Condolences to his family, they tried everything they could for the little lad.

What good would continuing to play Weekend At Archie's do? He would never wake up, he has brain necrosis! Even if through some marvel he did wake up, it'd be as an empty shell, an automaton. More empty than someone who'd been lobotomized.

What kind of existence would that be?

[UserSince2005]

Hope Archie can final find peace now. He deserved a better life and a better passing.

Yes, a final photo released by the family.


I assume some may go on the Sunday Front pages.

Could be more to this then what we know so far.

I've seen people on twitter questioning the mothers character. I saw a video that claims she changed her story a few times.

I'm not saying anything is off with it because I don't know, I'm just simply sharing that people are asking questions of the mothers character.

Yeah there's a thread on KiwiFarms for the mother, they've dug up a lot of damning information about her. They also make a compelling case for it to have been attempted suicide, based on his crappy homelife, mental disorders, multiple exclusions from multiple schools, and questionable social media posts...

I know KF isn't the "best" website btw, but everything they say is supported by archieved stuff from the relevant soci medias.
