'It was a gut-wrenching feeling. The pain felt like a kick to my heart'
A mum has said a "special day" for her and her son was ruined because of how he was treated for having special needs.
The full-time carer told the ECHO: “We were all prepared to have the Holy Communion on Thursday so we said no. I told them Bobby was doing it today with all the other kids, he has been friends with those kids for years. In preparation for the day, Hayley and Bobby had been attending meetings four weeks prior so that Bobby “could get used to the church”.
