Mother of terminally-ill child finds note calling her ‘lazy conning b***h’ on car parked in disabled bay
The mother of a terminally ill child has hit back at the people who left an abusive note on her car in a row over a parking space.
Emma Doherty had parked in a disabled bay when she took her three-year-old son Bobby to the Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool.
But when she returned to the car, she was shocked to discover a note calling her a “lazy conning b***h”.
The person who wrote the note had apparently seen Doherty carry Bobby, who usually uses a wheelchair, into the hospital because she was running late.
Bobby was born with three holes in his heart and has already undergone 15 operations.
The note read:
Doherty posted her story on Facebook to spread awareness of the difficulties people with invisible illnesses face.
She wrote:
She added:
Doherty’s post has been shared more than 100 times and received more than 1,000 reactions since being posted.
She said she was “shocked” by the number of messages she had received from people who had a similar experience.
She said:
It’s worth remembering that not all illnesses are visible.
