And I suppose you think it's right also for the child to be kept separate from his parents during whatever time he has left. A child who has known love from his parents and family now faces the prospect of losing his battle for life and the last faces he is yo see are faceless doctors or court appointed social workers. That, to me, is child cruelty. I also assume you have never heard of medical professionals getting things wrong or covering their arses? They are not infallible just because they have a medical degree....

I agree with that too! This is a catalogue of the most strange behaviour, all stemming from that hospital! What is their agenda? They were only yelling about the fact that the batteries would have run out on his feeder, well they were wrong. What else is going on here? That poor child needs his parents by his side as much as is humanly possible. His brother was trying to visit him today? Does anyone know if he succeeded?
