Wirral mum with special parking permit abused because her son does not look disabled

“They started mouthing things to each other and said I should not park there because I do not have a disability. Liam just sits in a normal baby seat so no-one can tell what he has by looking at him.”

There is no cure for the condition but Liam has regular physiotherapy and hydrotherapy sessions at Clatterbridge Child Development Centre to help his movement.

Helen was found to be a carrier of the gene which causes the condition, but her other son and daughter are not affected.

Helen said: “It makes me angry when we get the looks and comments, particularly from elderly people because my child is never going to be their age.”

“He will be lucky to see his 21st.”
