Sebastian was clearly upset and hurt. Anyone who meets Sebastian can tell straight away that he has special needs.<br /><br />You can only imagine how Sebastian felt when he came back to his seat. He just sat there, with his head down, crying."<br /><br />As a friend has an autistic child, so I'm an expert on the disability, the reason for the crying might be more to do with being put into a strange place rather than the "abuse" from Ted Robbins.SadButMadLadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17836368722377421009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-74327598348262876322012-01-14T22:51:31.902+00:002012-01-14T22:51:31.902+00:00banish entertainers - no problem.banish entertainers - no problem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-55752870095212251752012-01-14T21:03:07.188+00:002012-01-14T21:03:07.188+00:00XX Captain Haddock said...

Very remiss of him. <br /><br />Now he has been forced into a grovelling apology for something he probably did not even concieve could possibly be a problem. I think that anyone who goes up on stage to participate in the entertainment, or the person who consents to their participation, in the instance of a child has to understand that it is a live situation and their sensibilities may be offended or that they may be exposed to ridicule, in the name of entertainment... If they don't want to take a risk on being offended, don't go. Simple as that. <br /><br />I do not suppose that Mr. Robbins would dream of intentionally offending a child with autism, and that, I submit, is the essential element. What was his intention? I think that the complainant has chosen to be offended because that is exactly what type of person she is, one who is looking for the opportunity, in order to exploit the situation for her own agenda.Frankienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-88357155379554714032012-01-14T16:20:15.925+00:002012-01-14T16:20:15.925+00:00XX XX We also once had freak shows and thank goodn...XX XX We also once had freak shows and thank goodness that those days have gone.
