She's just repeating the same shit over and over and over.
The case itself is heartbreaking, but that thread is in a timezone all of its own
Mostly sensible posters and then the odd funny wonder logging in and posting shite.
Its uncannily like the McCann thread, only missing Penny
Yeah I just want to add my stance on it all (because I didn't do that with the McCann shit and I have definitely learnt from that mistake! )
I feel dreadful for the parents. Really, really dreadful. I have always felt that those in the wrong here are the enablers, those giving them hope when none is to be found. They need support, not blind allegiance. Sometimes support comes in the form of preparing you and persuading you to face something unthinkable. I think Connie especially needs someone guiding her, not people to cheer as she spends more time away from her son fighting a pointless battle.
And this battle is pointless. I can barely get my head around why you'd even consider transferring someone on life support like Charlie. My brother was transferred between hospitals (from a generic A&E to a specialised hospital for treatment) whilst on life support, and it took HOURS. There were so many risks, and he had to be stabilised again once reaching the specialist hospital.
When we decided to turn him off, moving him again didn't even cross our minds. We were saying goodbye, we didn't want to add any more stress to that.
I can't help but feel that this is Connies last desperate attempt to avoid facing up the inevitable, not so much to get him home, but to avoid the reality of his death.
