Katie Price backs Mencap campaign against disability hate crime
Readers,
This is a case about a young 'glamour model' whose son was born with multiple disabilities: autism, poor sight and learning difficulties.
She has also joined Mencap (another organization in the UK) in their campaign against the villification of people with disabilities.
The reason being is that some 'comedian' said some very derogatory (and obscene) things about her son, and she wrote in to the TV station and complained. She claimed that her son 'can't fight back'.
I am all for her complaining - most children (at the best of times) are less able to fight back than what most adults are; but when you throw disability into the mix (especially if it is an intellectual disability), then it's a 'double whammy' for the child.
And while Ms Price states that she doesn't care what the comedian (if he can be called that) says about her, she was nevertheless the target of alot of hateful comments about how 'slutty' she is supposed to be and what a slag she allegedly is. She can at least fight back, her son can't.
I say, 'Hats off to her'!!!
cheers,
