Tributes have poured in across the world for one of the bravest boys in the world itself.

12-yr-old Archie Battersbee lost his battle for life today after medics switched off his life support, even though his parents begged them not to.

They fought and fought to keep their child alive, but the so-called experts ruled otherwise.

His mother, Hollie Dance, said: “Such a beautiful little boy, and he fought right until the very end.”

She said she was “the proudest mum in the world” as she spoke outside the Royal London Hospital in east London, where he died.

Her son’s life support was withdrawn earlier on Saturday, reports the BBC, with the little boy dying shortly afterwards.

Social media users have been saying that what happened to this family is heartbreaking and wrong.
