(Family of Charlie Gard via AP)LONDON - The parents of Charlie Gard, whose battle to get their critically ill baby experimental treatment stirred international sympathy and controversy, dropped their legal effort Monday, saying tearfully that it was time to let their son die. The baby has been treated at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, one of the world's leading children's hospitals. Passions have often run high, with activists demanding "justice for Charlie" rallying outside the High Court and Great Ormond Street Hospital. Charlie's parents condemned the abuse, and on Monday thanked the hospital for the care it had given their child.
