Archie Battersbee's mum 'absolutely deflated' after European court ruling

ARCHIE Battersbee's mum may give her son mouth-to-mouth when he's taken off life support. Desperate Hollie Dance has vowed to "continue to give him oxygen" if doctors switch off the 12-year-old's machine and is "prepared to do anything" to keep him alive. A spokesman for campaign organisation the Christian Legal Centre - who are supporting the family - told The Sun giving her son mouth-to-mouth "may be what Hollie has to resort to". He referred to the "traumatic" case of little Alfie Evans, whose parents launched a similar legal battle to Archie's when doctors wanted to turn off his machines. Alfie's dad Tom gave the boy mouth-to-mouth to keep the dying tot alive in his devastating final moments. It comes after European Court of Human Rights last night rejected Hollie and Paul's last-ditch appeal to keep Archie's life support switched on - leaving Hollie "absolutely deflated" .
