I was going to post about the boy below last week. Apparently his parents found him unconscious in April, they figure he was doing a tik tok challenge. He's been legally declared brain stem dead by the UK courts, his mom did everything she could to fight him being disconnected. Her last ditch effort was moving him to hospice which was denied. It took 2 hours for him to die after machines were turned off.
His mom claimed that he does breath on his own at times, I don't know how true that was.
I can see brain dead people having care disconnected but this was not Tinslee. I'm not finding anything new about Tinslee.
MRI scans showed Archie was brain dead and nor brain damaged, and Archie did not even respond to peripheral nerve stimulation test, a precursor to brain stem tests.
The case was overseen by multiple courts including the High Court, Court of Appeal, UK Supreme Court and European Court of Human Rights which refused to interfere in the British Courts ruling, and the decision adhered to International Law.
This was not a case where another hospital or country could offer a different treatment or prognosis.
As for Archies family, they are naturally devastated and have done all they could do in light of the medical evidence that the Courts based their decisions upon.
The BBC News has a timeline of events in the article below -
It's also worth noting that Archie's injuries were believed to have been caused by Tik Tok's Blackout Challenge, and Archie, was found inert with a ligature around his neck on the 7th April 2022.
The Blackout Challenge is one of a number of dangerous social media challenges, that have seen children die on both sides of the Atlantic.
I decided to do a search for Tinslee. Her birthday is coming up, I thought she was going to be 3 but I couldn't remember if that was actually right. Hard to believe that yes, she will be 3 on February 1st, she turned 1 in a 2020 article I found.
The Texas hospital still wants to kill Tinslee. Court is January 25th. This is supposedly for the final say. How heart breaking that now this is a 3 year old child who may understand what they're wanting to do to her. I'm clueless what shape she's in.
It hit me before that Tinslee had a birthday, I can't believe she just turned four. Happy 4th birthday Tinslee
Her mother got rid of the Tinslee Strong Facebook page. I then sifted through the posts here for the link to her mothers facebook, there are no posts about Tinslee that are showing for the public. I see a few post shares on her moms page for the site Project TX Fragile Kids, I'm not seeing a Tinslee update there either.
Rest of her life as a vegetable that we all pay for. Great
There are tens of thousands of kids in this country that fit the above description. Does your county have a developmental center where developmentally disabled kids and adults live? Go look around. There are many that are nothing but bundles of reflexes (I had a clinical internship at one) Taxpayers have always paid for kids and adults with disabilities. Many lower level than Tinslee, who makes eye contact and smiles.
Bottom line in this case, the hospital said she would die if disconnected from the life support equipment, they were wrong and she did not. What should they do, reach over and strangle her so you don’t have to pay?

I guess no news is good news.
my cynical take is every group that wanted to use her to stake out a position had done so long ago and are now done with her.
the lack of recent news makes me think she has since died or groups would be touting how she is still 'fighting'. but I see none of that.

She isn't dying or fighting to live, she was discharged home in stable condition in April. She was off oxygen and pain meds when she was discharged, she isn't on any life-sustaining machinery anymore. I think it would have been big news had she died.

and I think I'd be able to find a story since April 2022 that she's doing fine and/or alive.
