'How dare you': Mum of terminally ill boy 'broken' by note left on car in disabled park

  • 16/08/2018

The mother of a young disabled boy has been left "broken" after she was called a "lazy conning bitch" for parking in a disabled parking bay.

UK woman Emma Doherty was running late for an appointment for Bobby, her terminally ill three-year-old son.

After arriving at the Alder Hey Children's Hospital in England, she decided to save time and carry Bobby in her arms instead of using his wheelchair.

But after returning to her car, she found a horrifying note that left her feeling "broken".

"You lazy conning bitch. You did not have a disabled person with you! These spaces are reserved for people who need them!" the note read.

The heartbroken mother has taken to Facebook to share her pain, explaining that her son is, in fact, disabled.

"How dare you ever accuse anyone of not needing a disabled badge without knowing," she wrote in her angry post.

"I hope this gets shared and back to you and you will see my son is terminally ill he's had over 15 operations, three open hearts, two stomach, lung and diaphragm and countless artery stenting operations and spent half his life on intensive care.

"He's had two strokes and was paralysed, brain damaged and has a spine and hip condition as well as a massive heart condition."

Ms Doherty said the note was the final straw after struggling to deal with her son's terminal illness.

"Why did your note break me? Because it's your pure ignorance towards others I'm a single mum trying my best to hold it together for my son who's in and out of hospital," she explained.

"NOT ALL DISABILITIES ARE VISIBLE and I hope you regret doing this and learn your lesson!"

Her message has been met with support from hundreds of social media users, who slammed the "despicable" person who left the abusive note.

"That person obviously has a very sad life to be so obnoxious," one woman said.

"This is disgusting, what a vile person to do this, people are just so ignorant," another wrote.
