In the course of the hearing, British high court Justice Francis said their son cannot be moved to the United States for treatment without a court order, squashing hope that a move to grant him residency in the U.S. would help him, according to The Independent.
Earlier this week, U.S. Congressional leaders approved a measure to grant Charlie and his parents permanent residency status in an effort to make it easier for him to receive an experimental treatment. Pro-life Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Washington, led the effort; her daughter also was diagnosed with a fatal condition but survived because of an experimental treatment.
Charlie’s parents and his hospital are involved in an on-going legal battle over his medical care. The 11-month-old British infant suffers from a mitochondrial disease and brain damage.

Asylum
To take the baby and make a run for it, would be a very complex affair, because of all the machines that he is now connected with and dependent on. The child would need to be somehow prepared for the changes. That takes time. It would be extremely risky, even if they somehow got him out of the building.
These are loving parents, but they are not Nurses or Physician Assistants, ready to monitor blood pressure, respiration and temperature. Not to mention there would be a swarm of police coming after them, with yellow siren lights swirling as though they were chasing ISIS. Heliocopters too.
They are British Subjects, not citizens like you and me.
> They are trying to run the clock out.
Exactly.
Don’t ask permission. The judge can take his robe and powdered wig and shove it. Smuggle the kid out.
I haven’t read many of these threads because it just doesnt make sense to me. Its horrifying.
Melissa Harris Perry made those remarks about the state owning your children.
She later got fired by MSNBC for making ugly remarks about Mitt Romney’s adopted black grandchild. This after her tear-stained ‘apologies’.
This case just shows how repressive the UK and other European welfare-nanny states are to their people.
Thank God I’m an American.
Dear UK,
We had civil war.
Your turn.
So do with progressives as you like, but record it so we can enjoy and learn.
Progressive judges should receive very extra special tortu...er...treatment.
Take the child to the US embassy and ask for asylum.
This judge should be hung.
Tyranny is alive and well in the Socialist UK...
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m getting very tired of this “Judge says” nonsense.
Melissa Harris Perry, who also appeared on MSNBC with tampons as ear rings.
“Take that kid and get outta Dodge. “
The baby is on life support.
“I don’t understand why the parents can’t organize a getaway car and just grab him and get him out of there.”
He is on life support.
Better a thousand babies die than the possibility of one publicly surviving because he managed to escape socialised medicine.
Where is your honour? You should be ashamed to even think of questioning your betters, Citizen!
The Brits have a medical hostage system? wow. Oh how the mighty have fallen,, and left a wake of dead needlessly in their wakes. Justice, sweet Justice, where art thou.
She is having tea at Buckingham Palace or is it Windsor Castle or is it Balmoral Castle in Scotland?
Socialist countries are not truly democratic. They are run by control freak sociopaths.
This might be why neverevergiveup (is that a Churchill refernce?) said they should renounce their citizenship.
