Archie Battersbee’s family will now fight to have him moved to a hospice, after their latest legal bid was rejected.

Mum Hollie Dance said she felt ‘absolutely deflated’ following the decision last night by the European court not to intervene.

The spokeswoman branded it ‘completely barbaric and absolutely disgusting that we’re not even allowed to choose where Archie takes his last moments’.The youngster has been in a coma since he was found unconscious by his mother on April 7, and is being kept alive by a combination of medical interventions, including ventilation and drug treatments, at the hospital in Whitechapel, east London.

UK Supreme Court judges have previously said they have ‘great sympathy’ with Archie’s parents but added there is ‘no prospect of any meaningful recovery’.The family spokeswoman said a hospice has agreed to take him, adding: ‘Hospices are well and truly designed for palliative and respite care.

Archie Battersbee: European Court of Human Rights turns down parents' caseThe 12-year-old's life support was due to be withdrawn on Wednesday morning. This has clearly been heartbreaking for the family and the medical staff. Its hard but they need to let him go, they are prolonging his body for selfish reasons. Let him rest in peace now . God bless I'm not medical, but my heart goes to them. I would personally donate some money to keep him alive and give him a chance, when/if everything is denied to him and his family. Any fund raising available?

This fucking country and its courts can't even give this lovely boy a peaceful death? Name those doctors! My thoughts are with the parents, whatever the outcome.
