This is very sad but they are just prolonging the inevitable goodbye. That baby is gone they need to say their goodbyes and let that boy Rest In Peace. It will be hard and trying but it is inevitable unfortunately.

It shouldn't be up to no one but mom and dad

No one's talking about just how Nick got in this situation!! The parents should not be allowed to torture their child any longer... wasn't letting him drown punishment enough??

So sad very Heartbreaking god be with the family at this time😥

How is this even in court? If the government isn't paying for the bill mind your business. One kids taking up a bed is not going to back up a hospital! Hoping for a miracle for that precious baby! Couldn't imagine the pain the mother is going through 💔

Where were these parents when the water was in the bathtub and who is supposed to pay for his care? Is this hard to do, yes, I had to do this on july 13th of this year and no matter what anyone says, there is a part of you that feel like you killed them. Still sob every day

Edit- a higher court has now overturned this decision.

If the family can pay, why is the court even involved? Does the child belong to the government, the hospital, or the parents?

Now they want to parent. Watch your effing kid.

Its so sad. Being without air for any amount of time can have irreversible results. If he does come off life support what kind of life will he have?. Miracle needed and deserved

So the parents made a mistake and some ppl are "I'm a perfect parent I don't make mistakes". Well good for you self-righteous bunch. Parents fight for your child do your best for him. A lot of people are praying and supporting you and your baby. Your horrible mistake is not the totality of your love for him. Miracles happen and you may just experience 1.
