Archie suffered brain damage during an incident at home. He was found with a ligature over his head on April 7. His mother explained that while it was thought to be an accident at first, it could have been part of an online challenge.
Specialists treating the 12-year-old boy think it is “highly likely” he is dead, adding that his life-support treatment should stop.
His parents want treatment to continue and have questioned the test’s reliability.
Archie’s mum, Hollie Dance, told GB News: “He’s gripped my hand very tightly, he’s drawn blood where he’s been squeezing so hard.
“He’s tried to open his eyes and I just feel like he’s there and he needs time.”
