..instead of 'My child should be able to break the rules due to disability', the key take should surely be 'why are there rules about dancing in the aisles at a pop concert?'.
A single mother has told how she and her seven-year-old son who has Down's Syndrome were escorted from a Pink concert 'like criminals' because he wouldn't sit in his seat.
Vanessa Vasey, 48, paid £630 for tickets to take Jesse to see his idol at her P!NK Summer Carnival Tour 2024 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, on Saturday. But Jesse's disabilities and sensory disorders meant he refused to sit on his seat, so Vanessa, Jesse and their friend Kirsty stood near to the seating area while the child danced to the support act.
They were then approached by about six security guards who told them to take their seats, the mother said. When Vanessa explained the situation, she was given an ultimatum to sit down or leave.
I mean, it's not a chess match or art appreciation class - why shouldn't children want to, and be allowed to, dance in their seats?
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Pink representatives have been contacted for comment.
No doubt there's some H&S nonsense to be quoted but, really....
