    Very sad. Devastating to lose a child. Been there done that. The pain is inconceivable. May he rest in peace and his parents shld find comfort in knowing that they stretched themselvs to the max.

    So tragic. That judge and those doctors need stringing up against a wall & shooting, they are so cruel & inhumane. My heart goes out to Charlie’s parents who never gave up, I hope they can find some comfort in knowing their baby is pain-free and they did everything humanly possible for him. I’m so sorry to read this.
