It seems now that the child's mother is presenting her own Appeal, wanting intubation reinstated. The poor baby is now failing and she's trying to get him to keep breathing.

This is absolutely tragic.

The father is continuing with his renewed pleas for travel to Italy.

I do so hope all this hasn't adversely affected their relationship - they're so very young and vulnerable, but foolish in the extreme, being egged on by the circus.

I think it's time the Police became more proactive and moved the mob far away from Alder Hey, if necessary arresting any aggressive protagonists for Breach of the Peace, as some posters on here have already suggested..

God forgive me, but the best thing in my view would be the poor little chap's demise in a peaceful and gentle way, so that this debacle can be dismantled.
