We’ve unfortunately experienced this with our son and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone but when we saw the brain stem test we knew our son was gone. Clearly Hollie was and still is in denial, but you can’t bury your head in the sand and hope it goes away. Nobody wants to accept their child has gone and I hope no one feels the pain of walking out of the hospital without them but the doctors and nurses in the critical care units work tirelessly to save lives. They don’t want a child to die and believe me they feel your pain, they were in tears along with us and then they do it again the next day. My son’s organs saved four peoples lives including a baby girl and little boy and it brings me comfort knowing they are still alive over four years later because of my son. Sadly this won’t be a possibility for Archie now because of the deterioration of his body. Another thing cases like this bring up is did we not fight hard enough for our child? Did we not love him as much as Hollie does because we let him go. It’s hard but our son died looking the same as he did when he went out that night not a shadow of his true self as I would imagine Archie looks like now…. And just to add this all happened on Christmas Eve as well just to add to the heartbreak….. 💔
You definitely loved him very much , you loved him so much you put him first and let him go even though it caused you so much pain xxxx I'm in awe of your bravery which was utterly selfless .

This is often quite frustrating for HCP as their side isn't heard aside from the court documents
The case we had where I worked where the family beat up the consultant - the assault wasn't reported until after the child had died so nobody knew (apart from staff) when it was being reported that all this was going on in the background



That's why every single case is assessed individually as all human bodies are different.and it depends on the initially injury
A strangulation is different from a sudden cardiac arrest from an arrhythmia
The issue is,Archie is brain stem dead. People sometimes recover from being “dead” from cardiac arrests etc,but if brain stem death is determined,it’s not recoverable,there is no treatment. People cannot be brought home and looked after with assistance. I speak from experience of having lost a loved one this way. It’s an impossible thing to accept,and I relate to Archie’s families utter denial,but he has no life at all left in him. He’s gone.

There was a doctor at the game IIRC that assisted with the team medical crew. The man was so lucky. I’m a Bolton fan, and I still get goosebumps when I think back to the game when Spurs played us at home and Fabrice came onto the pitch to thank everyone for their support. All the Spurs fans were singing his name alongside the Bolton fans. It was incredibly heartwarming. Then they beat us :ROFLMAO:
Yes, that's right! Wasn't he an A+E dr as well or something? Incredible.

Didn’t she fight for two years to get Archie into school after he was excluded? I imagine fighting authority is second nature to her.
Don’t quote me but I also read that Archie was once given ear drops instead of eye drops which she used (without reading the bottle???)and then threatened legal action. Also years ago when her eldest child was a toddler he fell onto some glass from a smashed BT phone box and this made all the newspapers with the fuss she kicked up. The story says he wasn’t hurt but she enhanced it to claim he could have slit his throat etc. TBH if you see broken glass on the floor why do you let your toddler anywhere near it? Because there’s publicity to get out of it I suppose. I think there seems to be a pattern of attention seeking and like you said ‘fighting authority’… 🤔

This has made me well up. I am so, so sorry for the loss of your beautiful boy.

What on earth!!Jeremy Kyle!! Is he going to make the Doctor's and Nurse's,take lie detector tests? Poor Archie and what about his siblings?Her daughter still lives at home,doesn't she need her mum too?
She’s too busy on SM verbally attacking anyone who dares have a negative opinion. Got just as foul a mouth as her mother and brother as well sadly……

Hollie herself escaped a 3 month jail term for GBH against two women. Ended up with community service instead, she’s no stranger to standing up for herself in court.

So she will be secretly loving this then?
She’s vile.
Anyone else think the dads heart attack was another attention seeking thing?

It sounds like she has been talking to press again outside of the hospital. Fresh words from her on Sky News.

He was a cardiologist and was able to get Fabrice taken to a specialist hospital straight away. There is a really moving (and interesting) video on YouTube where they meet up and discuss what happened, it's lovely to watch.

I don’t think the act itself was (apparently he had a heart attack prior) but Hollie splashing it all over the internet and blaming the trolls for it and then not updating anyone and letting them run with the story that it was a heart atttack when it wasn’t absolutely was attention seeking.

The avatar and name painhub, its similar to p o r n hub which is the adult site. Painhub is a site for depressed people.

I do agree that there is an element of glorification to MH issues. For instance the ones who claim OCD because they clean their house. Obviously it needs to be spoke about and supported but I think there is an element that influences people and makes things worse.
People claiming to have ocd because of being clean and organised make my blood boil ! I have ocd and it’s not just about cleaning (it can be ) I’m terrified of my house catching fire it stops me at times leaving the house because I can not stop checking all the plugs are off and no fire hazards are left ! And when I go out and smell fire I go straight home because I have a thing in my head that tells me it’s my house that’s on fire
