As attorneys for Alfie Evans’ family and Alder Hey Children’s Hospital battle it out in court over the future of the 23-month old little boy, a huge new concern has materialized.
The judge in the case just prohibited Alfie’s family from taking him to Italy for care and treatment and potential experimental treatment for his rare degenerative neurological disorder. There is still a determination to be made about whether or not Alfie’s family can take him home.
But before any of that happens, Alfie’s father Tom is concerned about his son and whether or not he will starve to death because the hospital is withholding food.
One of the biggest questions most people observing this horrific case have asked is whether or not Alfie is getting food and water after the hospital yanked his life support yesterday over his parents objections. Oxygen was another question and Alfie’s family indicated that Alfie eventually received oxygen that significantly improved his physical condition.
Eventually Alfie’s family indicated he was receiving water as well. But in a brand-new post on Facebook, Alfie’s father makes it clear that a little boy is not receiving any food and he’s concerned that Alfie maybe starve to death.
“UPDATE: HE HAS NOW BEEN STARVED FROM NUTRITION FOR 23 hours😡😡😡😡 how is this HUMANE where does his DIGNITY LIE?” Tom Evans wrote.
Despite the lack of foo,d Tom indicates Alfie is holding up well.
“Coming up to 24 hours and he’s fighting with gorgeous his gorgeous features, pink lips, handsome grown up face, and odd cheeky smile now and again,” he said.
SIGN THE PETITION! Please Let Alfie Evans’ Parents Take Care of Him
Supporters of Alfie and his family were livid at the news.

An air ambulance has arrived outside the hospital where little Alfie Evans is located. Alfie has breathed on his own and has survived for over 20 hours after the Children’s Hospital yanked his life support.
Alfie has defied doctors’ expectations to this point and his parents are headed back to court to fight for his life further. They are hoping to be able to get life support restored and also want to be able to take him to Italy, which granted him citizenship yesterday.
Today, a British doctors group, The Medical Ethics Alliance, expressed its horror over the treatment of Alfie Evans that it called a “medical tyranny.”
And Italy’s Healthcare Chief has slammed the decisions by UK courts to treat Alfie the way that they have. The President of the Italian National Institute of Health lambasted the UK High Court’s decision yesterday on Alfie Evans’ that resulted it the children’s hospital being allowed to remove life support over Alfie’s parents’ objections.
Alfie’s father confirmed the removal of life support and oxygen in a video at 9:17 p.m. London time. “Alfie’s still here and fighting,” he said.
Pope Francis has repeatedly spoken on Alfie’s behalf and urged that Alfie’s parents be allowed to bring him to Italy.
Alfie has been alive for 24 hours now!!!
He just needs food and water but he hospital is not giving him this! The bastards!
Nightmare, like watching a slow-moving train wreck right before your eyes that you can’t stop.
Very, very sad.
Baby Alfie has not been alive 24 hours without ventilator.
He needs food and water but hospital is giving him none!!
Terris list ping PLEASE!!!
Dear god,
hang in there little guy.
Just think ... The UK’s NHS is doing exactly what Nazis would have done to the feeble and defenseless if they were too much of a burden to the state. Scratch that ... the Nazis would have at least euthanized the kid ... that makes the UK WORSE than the Nazis in this instance.
I’d like to thank the world wide “free and fair” mainstream media for presenting this story to the world (sarcasm).
I hated socialized medicine before this story broke ... I downright loathe it now. If the Italians think they *might* have a therapy, the kid should be there already. However, the big problem is that the UK’s socialized medicine would fear that other peasants would demand similar treatment ... it’s all about her majesty’s money in the end.
And they said there wouldn’t be death panels here in the States ... frigging liars ...
WTF is wrong with these people? The compassion of liberals never ceases to amaze me.
It’s horrific, truly horrific. My view of the UK has forever been altered.
This is what happens when an entire nation allows its freedom to be gradually eroded. May this be a lesson to us all, and may God intervene and save this precious child in spite of the selfish murderous sons of hell who deem to hold the power of his life in their filthy hands.
“....WTF is wrong with these people? The compassion of liberals never ceases to amaze me...”
And this is EXACTLY what these vile, insane POS libs want for us here in the USA. They want to control who lives and who dies. And you can bet your sweet azz that If you’re a God-fearing, patriotic, conservative, they’ll kill ya. The time is drawing near, if not already here, where we’re gonna have to take these evil, rotten bassturds out....one way or another.
Repress free speech, arrest people for having the wrong political opinion, universal surveillance, collect all firearms, unleash a rabid anti-Jewish element in the streets.... and now, euthanasia.
Glad we stopped the nazis for them.
The Socialist model of “healthcare” is that of NIH. This is what Liberals want for America. I find it shocking that the UK has turned into a lite version of Nazi Germany.
It’s not humane. It is Nazi Britain, a term that is used more and more these days to describe the formerly great country. And the German Nazis would be so proud for so many reasons.
MIT isn’t humane. It’s pure Nazism. Satanic murderers of innocent little babies should be painfully tortured on their way directly to Hell. And then some
Cost cutting by socialized medicine.
Been my view since I lived there for almost a decade in the 90s.
And let me tell ya! They bitch about us not getting there soon enough.....and bitch about us even being there. Screw ‘em. NATO needs to be reorganized. They ARE NOT our ‘ally’. Period.
Why was Alfie in the hospital in the first place? British hospitals seem more like death traps than anything else.
Was it a fact that there are many police officers guard the child’s room?
Digusting.
It would not surprise me if Alfie keeps breathing on his own,
the evil Brit doctors give him a death injection to finish him off.
Can’t have that innocent, beautiful baby prove these evil doctors
wrong.
He has already proven them wrong over the last 24 hours.
