Re: Alison Lapper

Muddy I find that article to painful to read...
I first saw Alison on Robert Winston's 'A child of time' and followed her and her son Paris on the updates.

Life can be very cruel and disproportionately so for some people like Alison. Such a sad ending to what was an uplifting story of one woman's bravery and determination

Re: Alison Lapper

It is very sad but it just goes to prove that people should think things through before taking part in publicity stunts such as this.

Re: Alison Lapper

I don’t see this has got anything to do with publicity stunts .
Is there something I have missed
She is a severely disabled person who had a child .
It must have been hard for the young man people are cruel.

Re: Alison Lapper

I just think that a naked disabled woman on a plinth may be OK for mature thinkers but as you say, children can be cruel enough as it is without that sort of ammunition. I wouldn't want my mum naked on a plinth.

Re: Alison Lapper

But that was 19 years ago the boy wasn’t even born .
I doubt those who bullied him even knew it was there .
His troubles came I would think not from publicity from the plinth but from the cruelty of people now .

Re: Alison Lapper

Nor would I, no wonder he went off the rails.

Re: Alison Lapper

He was tormented by classmates who called his mother 'A Crip' and a quick google of his mother's name will show pictures of the statue. It's not difficult to find out who she is.

Very sad for everyone concerned though.

Re: Alison Lapper

Very sad for this lady . Life has been hard for her .

Re: Alison Lapper

Be silent and have some sense of shame you self righteous judgemental ignoramus he wasn’t even born then
