Parents Complain About Woman With Disability On TV

Nine complaints were made to the BBC more unofficial complaints on blogs about Cerrie Burnell, a 29-year-old children's tv presenter, who was born with only one hand. Parents believe that is giving their children nightmares and scarring them for life. The parents think that it is not right to force the issue of disabilities because the children are too young.

9 people have taken over this topic. What about the over-whelming majority who do not have an issue with a person with a disability on tv? What if the presenter was a child? What if your child saw Ms. Burnell on the street, would you make your child look away?
