"He needs more time."

The family of a 12-year-old boy with brain damage are waiting for a High Court judge to decide if his life-support treatment should continue.

Archie Battersbee was found unconscious at his home in Southend, Essex, on 7 April.

Doctors at the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel in east London said he was "brain-stem dead" and his life-support should end.

Archie's parents Hollie Dance and Paul Battersbee disagree, with Hollie telling ´óÏó´«Ã½ Essex that her son "needs more time".

The result is expected to come from the High Court on Monday 13 June.
