Staff at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) have received death threats over the treatment of Charlie Gard.

In a statement, the hospital said the police had been called after families were "harassed" and "unacceptable behaviour" recorded in the hospital.

GOSH is involved in a legal battle to remove life support from Charlie who has a rare genetic disorder.

Charlie's parents, Connie Yates and Chris Gard, want to take the 11-month-old to the US for pioneering treatment.

U.S. House committee votes to make Charlie Gard a U.S. resident

...

Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Washington, introduced the amendment to a homeland security spending bill. In order for the bill to become law, it will have to pass the House and Senate and be signed by President Trump. Some media are overstating the amendment's impact and reporting that Charlie is now a U.S. citizen. This is not the case.

An overwhelming majority of the committee voted yes on a voice vote.

Herrera Beutler called it an "opportunity for us to stand with a family who are right now fighting for their son's life."

"I strongly believe, having faced ... similar circumstances, that parents have the most at stake when it comes to standing up for their children," said Herrera Beutler. "The people that most, I believe, know or are going to err on the right side of the best interest of their child is the parent."
