Boy,14, with serious brain damage should not be resuscitated, Judge rules

A 14-year-old boy left with serious brain damage as a result of suffering a “non-accidental injury” when small is critically ill and should not be resuscitated if his condition worsens, a High Court judge has decided.

Mr Justice Mostyn heard that the teenager suffered from cerebral palsy and was told that his condition had reached a “pitch of crisis”.
