I work with special needs children so for me seeing an older child in a stroller is just part of my everyday. I am stunned to think that an adult would be so rude.

No one should make comments about other people’s children EVER

I learned from a friend early on not to make comments or judgements on ‘big kids’ with dummies or in prams, you never know what that child is going through

Hannah I apologise for the woman who screamed at you. Whether she knew or not, she had no right to do this. I’m also sorry that she ruined the day for you but please don’t think all people are like her. It’s no excuse but she may have been having a hard day. I wish you all the best in your life and that things improve for you from this day forward

How disgusting! I would never dream of saying something so nasty to anyone and that this poor little girl has such a horrendous illness just makes it all the worse.

This woman, the aggressor, seems to be just a horrible impatient person regardless the situation. Who can do or say this? What kind of person is she? Not a very decent or humane one.

What is wrong with people?? Doesn’t anyone have any common sense these days? Obviously a bigger kid in a pram is in that pram for a reason. What a miserable life that woman must be living, with no empathy or compassion.

I’m sorry for what you and your daughter have had to endure. Judging is a terrible thing and sadly too many don’t think before speaking, or screaming, and that can cause much distress, especially unfortunate when such ugliness is directed at a sick young child who already is enduring so much. That said, maybe think to yourself, tell your child, that the people who behave rudely have their own issues, that their ugliness is not, need be in your child’d universe. Maybe the rude person is bipolar, or has a serious issues with depression or anger management – best as you can ignore their ugliness as what they think ideally need not be a part of your or your precious children’s world. I send you warm thoughts.

Some people are so self centred and selfish. It is none of her business anyway. I hope your daughter has recovered from her angry outburst.

I feel so sorry for your daughter, Hannah. She should not ever be subjected to this sort of abuse. As far as I am concerned no-one ever has the right to abuse someone of any age who is using something in a public area. I always feel you should look and then feel how would I be in that circumstance – in other words ‘walk a mile/sit a mile in their shoes’.
I do hope you can make Hannah realize that the person was not a nice person and most people would not be like that. I do hope Hannah gets a new heart or the operation that will help her soon. Being a 10 year old with a disability is hard enough without being hurt by unfeeling people.

Disgusting. we were at the show the other night and you can damn well bet if id seen her do that id go after her.
Not all disability and illness is visable with a big wheel chair or hairloss
Im so sorry that happened to your darling girl

Whoever yells at a child like that is a poor excuse as a human

The woman’s actions were despicable. I hope somebody who knew the woman saw her disgusting behaviour gave her a great deal to think about afterwards. Very few children from about 2 1/2 y.o. will happily sit in a standard size stroller. By that time they are getting very independent. A larger stroller is always obvious because of its width. I am disappointed that the manufacturer has not included a higher back to support the child’s head and an optional hood for some sun protection.

This made me so angry & sad. That woman had no right to be so aggressive with your daughter. They say kids can be cruel but I think adults can be worse.

This breaks my heart.
Some people have lucky lives and the worst thing to happen to them is that they are slowed down by others. They have no dea. So heartless to make a comment like that with no concern about the impact.

Aw Hannah, sorry you had to go through this !
There’s clearly life or death in the power of the tongue and this lady spoke very harmful words to you ! Don’t let those words get to you, this lady doesn’t know a thing !!

This made me so mad. Commonsense and a little empathy go a long way. Even if it were a perfectly healthy child in a pram it wouldn’t have been her place to cast judgement or comment. I hope that lady sees this post too so she knows just how horrible she made an innocent child feel on a day out that should have been nothing but fun. And really, at a venue like that why on earth do you need to rush anywhere?

We took a pram to the show until my youngest was 6. Made life so much easier!

What a bitch! I hope she never has a kid with health issues.

What a horrible person! I hope she sees the post and feels really bad for yelling at a child
