I don't give a f**k. If your Irish and interested in this stuff you are a sad Bastard and need to get out more. Fully deserving of it's place in the WTF thread.

The parents are within their rights to fight tooth and nail for their child but at some point some sense needs to kick in. I take it the taxpayer is bankrolling all of this.

Of course they are, but they have no right to suggest staff at the hospital intend to murder their son or invite people to come down to the hospital and disrupt it.

100. Apparently people on the "Alfie's Army" Facebook page were asking people to set off fire alarms in the hospital.  Evacuating a hospital whilst people are in theatre or critical care seems like a sensible thing to do!

So the child has been taken of the ventilator and has been breathing unassisted for over 11 hours.

This really is WTF.

Scary shit

According to the child's father which, unfortunately, means the statement has a rather large asterisk beside it.

The hospital wouldn't be allowed to comment on his condition most likely

I agree
It's very sad

My wife saw something on Facebook from one of Alfie's Army that the child was going to be given a "lethal injection" & that this was an "execution".......

This is a joke. What the hell business is it of 'Alfie's Army' what happens???  Have these people nothing better to be at then getting involved in someone else's business?  I respect the right of the parents to do what they can to get the best for their child but sometimes you need to remove yourself from the emotions of it all. It is not easy and with young kids of my own I'm not sure how I would react but these protesters need to get to fvck away from this and leave an already vulnerable and distressed family to make the best decision for their own lives.

[Milltown Row2]

Its pitchfork menality, these protesters most live some perfect lives.

[Taylor]

Sure just look at the #ibelieveher campaign.

People dont need to know the facts before jumping on a bandwagon and lifting the pitchforks

[The Iceman]

I would like to think that if my responsibilities and rights were being taken away as a parent to protect the life of my child that people would show up to support me.
They want Alfie to live. To try whatever they can for him to live. He just received Italian citizenship and there is a hospital there willing to take him and give him a fighting chance. I don't know a parent who wouldn't want to try. Alfie's parents want to try. The UK authorities don't want to keep trying and are taking this away from his parents....

I find it very sad that now a child with medical problems' life isn't worth much to some on here...

[gallsman]

I find it very sad that you think your rights trump those of the child.

Tell me what you know about this Italian hospital - the treatment they propose to offer, how they plan to give Alfie a "fighting" chance etc Or are you just reacting to some rubbish you've seen online.

[brokencrossbar1]

I have no issue about people supporting the child and I fully understand the parents position but the notion of protesting and storming hospitals etc is just insane.

how are the parents going against the rights of the child? Does the child not have a right to life? Should the childs oxygen be removed, water be removed? Should he be given sedation to starve and die?
Doctors associations up and down the UK and the rest of the world are standing with the parents.

What do you know thats different from the rest of us? Why should the child die? Would you pull the plug?
If we can't protect the vulnerable then who are we as a society?
