Mom Seeks Lover for Grown Son with Down’s
Raising a child with Down syndrome is no easy thing. It involves doing a lot of things you never expected to do be doing with your life.
But even the most well-educated and comfortable parents of the most high-functioning Down’s children don’t generally go publicly soliciting for lovers for their (grown) kids.
Lucy Baxter, a UK mother of four and a leading advocate for the rights of those with Down syndrome, is the exception. She wants her 21-year-old son Otto to be able to lose his virginity
Several years ago there was a similar scene in a Quebec TV show that sparked crazy controversy: a mom hiring a prostitute for her adult son with cerebral palsy… How funny that reality always seem to meet fiction after all.
I have 3 kids with issues. Matt is 19. And while I’ve been known to ask him what he is doing and where he is going and who he is going with, I draw the line at his sex life. I doubt he has one. He had a girlfriend but he just can’t handle the whole relationship thing. So sex??? No….
I think the mom just wants some press. She really needs to back off.
Why can’t she take him to a singles function or something? It is a bit like she is trying to breed her son. Yuck is right.
