Earlier, officers said they thought his family had "taken steps to be able to feed him". | |
It was feared the battery on Ashya's medical feeding unit, which was designed only for temporary use and was not easy to replace, had run out. | |
Police had said it was unclear whether Ashya's parents, Brett and Naghemeh King, had spare batteries. | |
Hampshire Assistant Chief Constable Chris Shead had said without properly administered food, Ashya's situation was "very serious". | |
The five-year-old and his family, who are Jehovah's Witnesses, boarded a ferry to France on Thursday. | |
The arrest warrant was "based around neglect", said Mr Shead. But he stressed it did not necessarily mean Ashya's parents would be charged with that offence. |
