8-Year-Old Double Amputee’s Park Adventure Sparks Controversy

A 34-year-old mother and her 8-year-old son, a double amputee, recently moved to a new town and were invited to a neighbor’s son’s birthday party. The party, held at a local park during a heatwave, took an unexpected turn when the boy removed his prosthetic legs to play more comfortably. The mother’s decision not to inform the other parents beforehand and allowing her son to remove his prosthetics sparked a heated debate among the attending parents.
