The mum of a boy whose life support must be turned off after a judge ruled he was legally dead has vowed to "fight" to keep him alive. Hollie Dance, 46, says her 12-year-old son Archie Battersbee has squeezed her hand, despite being in a coma for the past 10 weeks.
Archie was rushed to hospital on April 7 after he was tragically brain damaged attempting an 'online challenge' and doctors at The Royal London Hospital believe he is “highly likely” to be brain dead.
Earlier this week Mrs Justice Arbuthnot gave medics permission to end his life support. But Hollie and Archie’s dad Paul Battersbee, 56, have now launched an appeal against a court's decision to take the schoolboy off life support.
