Archie Battersbee's Mum Says She 'Feels Extremely Let Down By Our Justice System'

"Me and Archie's dad made a promise to Archie we would fight this until the end and that's exactly what we intend to do," said Hollie, who was speaking from the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel, east London.

"I do feel extremely let down by our justice system. I know Archie's still with us and Archie's showing very different signs to what the clinicians are saying.

"He's progressing in so many ways. He's got a very good stable heart beat, he holds his own blood pressure, he's gaining weight."

Hollie added: "I find it very hard not to exhaust every option. Whilst he is progressing, it's very, very hard not to fight for his life."

Archie will continue to receive treatment at the Royal London Hospital until 12:00pm today.

After Archie was found unconscious by his mum at his home in Southend-on-Sea, Essex on 7 April, the youngster was rushed to hospital where he received treatment.

His mum suspects he was taking part in an online challenge.

However doctors at the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel, east London, now believe it was 'highly likely' he was 'brain-stem dead' after an MRI scan was completed.

Hollie said: "I don't think six months was not too much to ask for, before being dragged through a court.

"I don't think I'm holding on to hope, I'm just asking for a realistic time for my child to recover from a brain injury.

"They wanted to turn the machine off on day three. What is the rush?

"I just think while Archie's progressing, I think it's important that evidence is actually put before a court. That he's progressing, not deteriorating like the doctor said that he would."
