Archie Battersbee's family call for inquiry saying no parent must 'go through this again'
Archie Battersbee's family have called for an inquiry following his death, saying "no parent must go through this again". The 12-year-old's life support was switched off on Saturday morning at the Royal London Hospital months after he suffered a major brain injury.
In a statement, released through the Christian Legal Centre, the family said: "We want something good to come out of this tragedy and the horrendous experience we have been put through by the system. No parent or family must go through this again. "There must be an investigation and inquiry through the proper channels on what has happened to Archie, and we will be calling for change." In a High Court ruling on Friday morning, Mrs Justice Theis concluded it was not in Archie's best interests to be moved to a hospice and the Court of Appeal rejected permission to appeal that decision later the same day.
