People say why not at bedside instead of doing interview but families are put out of room at times for nurses or doctors to do things. I very much doubt this mother left her son willingly & was encouraged just to give herself a break or change of scenery so keep her strong. 💔

Bless this poor woman. Such a screeching trauma. I hope there will be put in place for her, a very good Physcologist and a grief counsellor ..

Heartbreaking 😞 this family will need lots of support. Very touching interview. Anybody who hasn’t been deeply touched by this mothers plight can not be human. The nation has felt this one. Wishing Hollie lots of strength and she will need to take it one day at a time

Every minute she wasted doing all the stuff like this, she'll never get back with her, now gone, son.

How much as Sky News been paying her to keep this saga going ?, She only seem's to do Sky News interviews

Anyone going to ask how he ended up with the injury? Just “playing an online game” doesn’t cut it.

Sky news is profiteering off death ☠️💀

Will there be an inquest into how he died? Seems to have been skated over in the coverage

If the patient is already classes as dead you can’t kill them anymore

Doing the child harm ? The parents want to take any on any care that might save him He's going to die in the care he's in now. What's wrong with you people ?

Has to be better than death, no?

Sorry mate but somehow going abroad seems a better option than death?

Watching from Uganda the land of freedom

If this child could of been saved!!! He definitely would of been saved in the Uk 🇬🇧

This is the failed launch of the rocket launched by the Islamic Jihad organization into Israel, but as you can see the rocket hit inside the Gaza Strip and caused the death of four children. The Palestinians spew hate online as if Israel is responsible for the children's deaths.

So cruel 😭😭😭

I thought she wanted privacy...

A good way to avoid this situation is to supervise your kids

I assume you will be correcting the poor girl and informing people that the 'suffocating' comment is incorrect? Or is it better to allow misinformation?

No child should have been put through the public entertainment of courts splashing across the media. He should have been allowed dignity, not headlines....

Sadly lots of families *will* have to go through this, although most will remain anonymous and most will trust the clinical team in charge of their loved one’s care. What a tragedy for everyone involved in this case. I hope they all find peace somehow.

Families go through what You go through everyday ..they just don't Parade in front of the Media.. Craving attention...They listen to the Medics...and spend precious time with their loved ones.....RIP 💔🌈

Walk in this woman’s shoes and imagine what you would have done for your child. This woman is grief stricken. Losing a child is unimaginable. She did what she thought she was right for him.
