I wonder if todays EE would actually kill off a child? They did the storyline on cot death years ago where the child died but since then they have always had the young child being saved (e.g Louise being rescued by Phil before the car that Steve was in exploded, baby Sean being saved by Tom before the Slater house exploded).
I think this would be a good issue for EE to tackle but I don't think they should do it with Little Mo and Freddie. Mo has been through far too much already and losing Freddie would be a step too far I think. Obviously children die everyday and some people have terrible luck in life but I can't bear to see Little Mo all miserable again.
Anyway, we don't even know if it is true yet.
