Not cruel, just factual. Sadly factual. In April, Charlie Gard was able to be helped. So I am staying with this- from their news media, not ours.

We had a chance and we were not allowed'
Miss Yates [Charlie's mother] said it was “unfortunate” that Prof Hirano had not been given access to GOSH’s “raw data” in April - at the time of a previous High Court hearing - that showed “no actual evidence of irreversible brain damage”.

“They [the doctors] both agreed that treatment should have been started sooner. There is one simple reason for Charlie’s muscles deteriorating to the extent they are in now - time. A whole lot of wasted time ..."
[* NOTE: Professor Michio Hirano, New York neurologist who has pioneered an experimental therapy for children with a similar condition to Charlie, that there had been a chance of helping their son]
