Horrorcow Hollie Dance / Lisa Pittaway / Ella Carter / Archie Battersbee / Lauren Summers/ Dignity For All / Archie's Army / Spread The Purple Wave - The Mama Nails of Essex, Her Whiteknights, and Her A-Logs

Awww. Our plucky little Br*tish horrorcow is all grown up. Here's to a swift and dignified resolution for Archie very very soon. Never for a minute thought this would drag on so long when the story first popped up.
I still hope the moppet pops his necrotic clogs before the legal system gets tired of playing pass the parcel. Let the boy go.
 
Been following this story, glad it got a full thread. Wonderful work compiling and collating everything, Syo, it's a very hard to stomach but easy read.

It's clear Archie was already in dire straits mentally from his online presence and even music tastes alone. She seemed aware of his musical proclivities, and didn't find it concerning that most of it is depressing mumble rap, with artists that are prominently already dead. He must have been giving off so many signs, and this Pennywise faced chav ignored every one of them, and actively pushed him to take his own life at such a young age.

I hope he gets peace soon, and that this thread remains a monument of her bad parenting, and stain on her life.
 
Jesus, this is grim.

Threads like this - "Batshit Parent Grifting Off Disabled/Baity/Dead Kid" - I usually just read, feel miserable, and never open again. Not planning on being a regular to this one, either, but I did have one question:

this whole Tiktok challenge thing. What's the story behind that? It's mentioned several times in the OP, and was one of the hooks that got me reading, but I'm still not entirely sure what Holly claims the challenge to have been.

The CDC page you linked seems to be describing autoerotic asphyxiation (i.e. "the David Carradine Thing"), and I certainly hope that's not what Holly claims her kid was up to. The Tiktok disavowal doesn't seem to be talking about AEA; in fact, it doesn't seem to be talking about anything specific, it's just a general, blanket denial about promoting dangerous behavior. And checking Tiktok right now, I can't see anything about kids hanging themselves with nooses as part of a challenge. While there are several million videos tagged as "choking" or "choking challenge", these seem to be random videos of accidental choking (drinking water and laughing) or videos of young people lightly choking each other with their hands.

I must admit, "My kid died doing a viral trend where you hang yourself from the banister of your stairs" is one hell of a lolcow origin story, but it sounds improbable - and while I know it sounds improbable 'cuz she's lying (because obviously she's lying), it sounds like the kind of lie that is TOO unbelievable for even a grifter to make up.

The hell is she on about?


-edit- Ah, OK, found this:

Screenshot 2022-07-21 at 15-36-43 What Is Ligature Over Head Online Challenge TikTok Archie Ba...png

Archie Battersbee was discovered with a ligature over his head. First, his mother said they believed it could have been a rare accident, but later, she thought it could be some type of internet challenge.

She also added that she received a call from someone who said they had heard about boys wearing ligatures over their heads as part of an internet challenge. But, the matter is not disclosed yet, and no confirmation about the child trying some kind of challenge has been confirmed.

She also added that she is unsure if it is true, but she still wants to make other parents aware and ask the investigators to investigate it.

So the source for the whole "My poor child was copying Tiktok!!" thing is literally just: some rando called Holly and said they heard, from somebody, that maybe possibly hanging yourself from a bannister was a challenge. Somewhere online. Maybe. Dude trust me.

Cops pls investigate, uwu...?

The tiktok challenge is pure cope. There was never any evidence Archie was taking part in such a challenge nor that such a challenge existed.

Yep someone told her that a tiktok challenge existed where people hung themselves. When she named it she was naming Blue Whale and "The CHoking Game" proving she had no idea what the challenges were. She constaly changes her story so one day probably it wont be a tiktok challenge but whatever hte latest craze is at that time.
 
Hollie / Archie needed their own thread big time. Thanks for all the work you've done with sharing content about this horror show, Syo. It's fucking repulsive how Hollie continues to profit off of this considering the medical and legal fees never actually hit her. That's fucking disgusting. Shows what a real mother she is. What a peach.

Something that I can't help but think about any time I think of Archie is how the medical reports say that there are pieces of necrotized brain matter and spinal cord found in the lumbar region of his spine. There's really no other word for it than 'horrifying.' It's perplexing how Hollie seems to believe Archie can recover despite such a horrifying fact - how she thinks necrosis, in the brain of all places, is reversible. She's willingly delusional if she really thinks that. It's akin to a child's understanding of life and death or medicine.

This post by @Quack_Quack from Tard Baby General goes into detail about it. (Good post btw, Quack.)
Actually...... if you'd had bothered to read both of the High Court rulings with the summation of medical explanations following the MRI on the 31st May..... Archie's brain HAS started to necrotize. There is necrotized brain matter and spinal cord in the lumbar region of his spine, where it has sloughed off because he is dead. This is a direct quotation from the summation of the MRI in the judgment from the High Court judge's report, dated yesterday:


(bolding is mine)

So, as you can see, there is direct evidence of substantial necrosis. The Judge declared him legally dead since the 31st May. This means this poor kid's corpse has been kept going by machines for TWO WEEKS post death. He is DEAD. There is NO coming back from this, you mouth-breathing fuck-nugget. If they had declared him dead two months ago, there could have been the possibility of organ donation that could have saved eight people. But no, it's dickwits like you with your superior knowledge and this bullshit about "you're only dead if the heart stops beating." He's only breathing and his heart is only pumping because a machine is doing everything for him. His body can no longer cope with nutrition because there are no signals passing from brain to body.

When he is off the machine his respiratory and circulatory system will stop because there is no brain activity to force them to continue. He is dead. The only reason everything is still going is his mother is too fucking deluded to see this and is forcing care under the misguided notion that he will magically wake up. There is no saving something that has already decomposed past the point of no return.
It also really fucking bothers me that Hollie is happy to post pictures of her son laying in a hospital bed in a diaper. Don't you think Archie would be horrified if he knew she'd posted that?! I mean she really is just so fucking clueless. Why should we give the dead any dignity, anyways? Aside from Archie being a twelve year old boy, that's just an embarrassing and unnecessary thing to share with anyone on social media. I really struggle to wrap my head around it, and yeah, Hollie absolutely does get me MATI.
The shit that Jill Rodriguez is posting about her mother in the hospital having suffered a stroke is close to the same level of insensitivity and a complete lack of self-awareness. Never mind the picture of her daughter's mutilated face after suffering a severe car wreck while Jill is grinning ear to ear next to her.
 
The tiktok challenge is pure cope. There was never any evidence Archie was taking part in such a challenge nor that such a challenge existed.
So that's the entire story...?

Holly heard from Some Guy that maybe there was an internet trend where kids killed themselves, so she went to the tabloids AND the cops, and told them it was a Tiktok stunt gone wrong?

*sigh*
 
Poor kid. Sick to think that his mother won't let go of his lifeless body until it probably starts decaying on the outside.
And even then, I'd fully expect her to seethe and cope by blaming the doctors or nurses.
Like shit, your son is gone. The fuck is wrong with you.
The only solace is that he left this world a looong time ago and thankfully didn't regain any hint of consciousness to witness this shit.
