Connie Yates said it was 'inhumane' to spring a court hearing on them at short notice to decide the girl's fate. Doctors believe it would be kinder to let the six-month-old die rather than give her treatment.

What annoys me and to be honest, as horrible as this sounds, makes me less sympathetic to these individuals, is how they lie blame and gaslight and accuse hospitals and courts of victimising them no matter what they do.
Connie calling it inhumane is a good example, because they also call it inhumane and cruel when the court is involved right at the last minute - Meaning the parents spend part of their child’s last days dealing with that. As far as I’m aware, this baby is not on deaths door, but due to the nature of the type of mitochondrial disease she has, which we only have 15 cases of on record she *will* be at some point and the hospital have applied instead of waiting until the 11th hour - surely that is a kindness if anything, as when that time does come, the parents will be able to focus on her and themselves, and won’t have false hope.
I also find Connie blaming the hospital and court for her PTSD annoying. You do not have PTSD because of the court or hospital. I have no problem beleiving you have PTSD because watching your child have multiple seizures for hours on end and then die would cause that in most people.
It’s the same as how they will say things like the hospital/court are playing god, shouldn’t be up to them to decide if the child lives or not, they’re taking them/their chance at life away. No they are not. The horrible circumstances that brought you to seek medical attention “decided” that and will be what, very sadly, will take your child away from you.
What the hospital/courts are doing is deciding how that should be managed.
Acting like they’re dragging you to court as a punishment or a criminal is simply not the reality, they are telling you they don’t feel it is humane or ethical to carry out procedures on this human being, and you disagree. There is nothing cruel about involving the court at that time, and if you actually have a plan and evidence to show that your plan is better or at least ethical in regard to that human being, then the court will side with you - But then if you actually had that, all the lies and gaslighting wouldn’t be necessary.
These “armies” compound your upset because the lies and gaslighting work on them, they don’t work on the court. It’s why they will sit on Facebook insisting all day, as is happening on the current 20 year olds “army” page, claiming that he is moving more, claiming he is doing medically impossible things, yet only being able to provide proof of things such as reflex movements.
It’s why (this is mentioned in the judgement) when the doctors asked the family to demonstrate their claims and show them how they get him to respond in front of them, not just a video of a reflex movement where they then start videoing and talking so it looks like a reaction, they flat out refused to do so. Literally just “No” but they don’t tell the army that bit.
It’s why they’re then upset “I showed the judge so many videos” because the videos convince the “army” and they thought the judge would buy it too.
And they fucking KNOW what they’re doing. They are sat there watching him, they KNOW his hand was moving before they spoke. They KNOW they turned the video on and started speaking AFTER that started.
There are so many people who go through these things and don’t lie or make a spectacle of their relatives death, and they’re the people I have sympathy for when they end up reading about these arseholes.
