Charlie Gard campaigners warned over hospital protests Charlie Gard case: Latest report 'makes sad reading'
(about 5 hours later)
Charlie Gard campaigners have been urged to show consideration to the parents of other children being treated at Great Ormond Street Hospital. Charlie Gard's parents reacted angrily in court when medical information was revealed about their son which they had not previously been told about.
The High Court judge in Charlie's case warned there were "lots and lots" of other sick children at the hospital. The High Court was told a scan of the baby's brain made for "sad reading". His mother responded: "We have not even read it" and her husband walked out.
It follows complaints from the family members of other children being treated at the hospital. Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) wants to remove Charlie's life support.
Mr Justice Francis said the relatives of those children may not want to be confronted by campaigners. Earlier, the judge urged protestors supporting the family not to target the hospital.
A spokeswoman for Great Ormond Street acknowledged the hospital had received complaints from families but would not provide further details. The 11-month-old suffers from a rare genetic disorder and underwent a brain scan at the weekend to help settle a medical dispute about whether his treatment should be continued or whether he should be allowed to die with dignity.
Mr Justice Francis was speaking while overseeing the latest hearing in the 11-month-old's case in the Family Division of the High Court. On hearing the hospital lawyer's assessment of the scan, Charlie's mother Connie Yates broke down in tears and his father Chris Gard shouted "evil" at the lawyer before walking out of court earlier.
Charlie suffers from a rare genetic condition and has brain damage. Charlie's parents are fighting for the right to remove their child from GOSH's care. They want instead to take him to the US for experimental treatment, which a neurologist from New York said might give him a 10% chance of improving his health.
Lawyers for the hospital said on Friday a new scan of Charlie made for "sad reading". The case has attracted a lot of attention around the world and campaigners who want the judge to "let Charlie live" have lined the High Court entrance for the hearings.
Earlier this month the judge condemned people who had abused and threatened Great Ormond Street medics on social media as a result of Charlie's case. Previously, the judge has condemned people who had abused and threatened GOSH medics on social media as a result of Charlie's case.
