Mum Laura, 31, from Malvern, Worcs., fumed: "I was absolutely horrified when I heard what had happened.
"I looked at the photo my mum took and I could see that Connor seemed very uncomfortable with what was happening to him.
"The cowboy was holding his head to one side and pressing the cocked pistol against his temple, it was sinister.
"Connor was shook-up. He was being restrained by someone he didn’t know.
"In this day and age, it is not acceptable.
"Who knows who this man could be, he's just allowed to stand there with an imitation gun and no-one cares because he's painted gold.
"Connor already has enough problems with his ADHD, we're getting him tested for the autistic spectrum soon.
"But this has set him way back, it's not good for him.
"He's OK enough now, but he was really shaken up on the day and has since suffered flashbacks. I think these people need to be licenced before they are allowed out there.
"I mean they are just allowed to stand there and go near children."
My God! It’s an outrage! There should be a law against it!
WON’T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!
Birmingham City Council said the street entertainer would be warned about his conduct.
A spokesman said: "There is currently no legislation restricting ‘human statues’, unless they are causing an obstruction, a noise nuisance or any other public order offence.
"However, our city centre management team will be speaking to the performer in question about this allegation."
Good luck with
that job, then…

Should have shot themother instead! Probably do the kid a favour, not cottonwooling him and doping him with ritalin instead of feeding and disciplining him properly, oh, and teaching him to be a whiny parasite.
He's lucky not to have died in a hail of bullets... Armed Police being what they are..
So before you start Jaded, that's a complement not a dig..

Connor is actually grinning in the photo, clearly enjoying his "ordeal".
My guess is that his mother smothers him in a very Oedipal way - hence his "autism" and ADHD.
She ahould get a life - and a bloke.
ADHD - or, as it was called in my day, naughty.
"Connor already has enough problems with his ADHD, we're getting him tested for the autistic spectrum soon.
... I think these people need to be licenced before they are allowed out there."
People should be licensed before having children, to weed out any genetic freaks. I mean the mother.
There is far too much cheating going on in the game of "disability" top trumps. When you can get things like PTSD from a bit of play acting to add to a convenient diagnosis of ADHD/bi-polar/autism etc, it ruins the basic rule of the game. You get your cards dealt, and you make the most of them.

She had one ....... once.
What is it about the name "Connor"?
"Should have shot themother instead! "
I tend to agree. That's another local newspaper star in the making, poor little sod...
"My guess is that his mother smothers him in a very Oedipal way - hence his "autism" and ADHD."
He'll no doubt develop whatever the flavour of the month is next year.
"There is far too much cheating going on in the game of "disability" top trumps. "
Ahhh, Top Trumps. That was a game and a half!
"What is it about the name "Connor"?"
It is unaccountably popular among the chavistocracy. I wonder why...
