I think that the Tablet poem by Antonia Fraser (13 August) is a lovely message to Archie Battersbee’s family who are suffering from his tragic death – may he rest in peace. However, there are many disturbing issues surrounding his death.

I thought from when the case broke in the media that the family should have been allowed to grieve his loss in private and not be milked by journalists. The intervention of the Christian Legal Centre did not help matters. 

I trust that an inquest will examine the terrible events that initially precipitated Archie’s eventual death. It is to be assumed that these will include the circumstances before his mother found him and any possible social media involvement.  Many young people use unmoderated platforms as a daily matter of course.
