I can't say what they did was right or wrong. He had the right to know but he wouldn't have enjoyed the little life he had left if he did.

R.I.P

At the same time, he should have known since he could live his life the FULLEST.

This reminds me of that korean group (from SM Entertainment) and their mom died but their management didn't tell them because they didn't want their performance to be effected.

poor kid RIP.
I think his parents definitely did the right thing by not telling him, but if he had lived into his teen years I think they should've told him.

I think its better that way tbh. RIP.

ugh there's such a big ethical issue here and idk how i feel about it. i understand the good intentions behind keeping it from him so he could go on living life like any other child would.. but c'mon, the kid deserved to know he was gonna die. his parents couldn't possibly have known how he'd react and quite often when kids find out this kind of information they actually do inspirational things with the time they have left; i've seen in the news about kids with terminal illness founding charities and fundraising for research into their illnesses. not necessarily saying this is what he'd have done cos obviously who knows how he'd have really taken the news

idk what i'm even saying i'm just babbling. long story short i'm torn over this

The majority pretty much summed up my opinion. Its still sad though.

I understand their decision. It's still very sad though. RIP.

That's terrible. They should have told him.

Which I think is a good thing, really.

Did he really need the burden of his expected demise on his mind? I think it's a good thing the parents kept it a secret from him.

I won't judge that
I wouldn't know what I would do.
Sad story

I won't judge them because we don't know how the kid could've taken such a sad news but I understand why they did.

they did the right thing.

Oh wow. I honestly don't know what to think about this. So confused.

He knew his fate in my opinion.
