Archie Battersbee Case

[Harry Angstrom]

Up to the coroner to pontificate on causes really. Thus far it's just what his mum said. Either way it's horrific.

Yes. I just wondered how the pour lad ended up in his present state and googled it. There isn’t one positive in the whole saga.

I think there is plenty of positives. The emergency services, medical care, his parents devotion, the legal process. The only real tragedy is watching the young lads light go out without living his life.

Just found out how he ended up in hospital. What a tragic waste. A TikTok challenge!!

That's according to his mother, but there isn't any evidence that such a challenge exists. If there had been, it would have been all over the news and TikTok would have been in damage control overdrive rather than releasing one statement about it. The press would have had a field day alongside the one they are having now.

It’s an odd one

There is evidence the challenge exists, several children have died after watching videos and lawsuits are in progress against Tik Tok albeit in the USA. What isn’t entirely clear is whether or not Archie was influenced by similar videos and that will no doubt be looked in to via any investigation/ coroner’s report in the future.

The system is working but the unnecessary circus around it is awful.

It's a 'challenge' that's done the rounds for decades. In any case, there'll be an inquest and it'll all come out then. TikTok are very good at sharing data with authorities in sad cases like this.

Certainly pre dates tik tok but does seem to have had a resurgence. Sadly it will probably do so again because of the media interest in this case. I’m reasonably impressed that the usual media sources haven’t focused on that so far as I suspect it would lead to more people trying it rather than educating of the dangers and putting people off.

I'd argue the opposite - every bit of media I've read has mentioned a TikTok challenge, and they shouldn't. Evidence be damned, you don't want kids going looking for it. Either give more information and warning than a throwaway line or don't mention it at all.

Fair point, it’s often mentioned but not in depth. You’re right though, better that no one goes looking for it.

Thankfully now he will be allowed to sleep the poor lad

Archie Battersbee: mother says she has done all she can after family told life support to end

Family were told treatment to be withdrawn after attempt to have 12-year-old moved to a hospice fails

t.co

Appeal lost. Hopefully for Archie’s sake this is the end of the line.

Probably the first sane and humane thing Braverman has ever said.

"Like I just feel this hospital have so much to answer for and I don’t really know what else to say today.”

Wow. I mean they're only providing round the clock intensive care for months, but hey! That's not enough apparently.
The woman needs to stop taking interviews, she'll end up saying something she regrets.

Yeah I've not mentioned anything to my bairn, he asked what happened and i left out the tik tok info as I don't want him looking for anything like that.

Based on threats she's made on social media, this is all precursor to a coming lawsuit. I don't think she'll regret it at all.

I wouldn't know where to start explaining all this to a child.

Yup no chance am I doing it, I won't even mention tik tok and he doesn't have a phone (I know he could look up stuff on his tablet though).

She's being led by the nose by arseholes preying on her grief. Awful to see.

Bit daft really. Nothing the public hates more than someone slagging off the NHS
