One Mum would be more than happy to go all the way to help her Down's Syndrome son lose his virginity and start his sex life. Lucy Baxter is a leading campaigner on the rights of people with Downs Syndrome and has 3 other adopted sons with the same condition.
Mrs Baxter, mother of 21-year-old adopted son Otto, said that she was considering paying for a prostitute. She has also signed Otto to a few dating agencies, claiming that he has is a male with the same feelings and desires as everyone else.
Lucy told reporters: ''Why should people with Down's Syndrome be kept separate and pigeon-holed when they have the same emotions, desires and feelings as so called "normal" people? He has the same expectations as everybody else .... I would have no problem if he went to a brothel in Amsterdam,'
Otto, whose 'perfect woman' is Fearne Cotton, said: 'I'm looking for a girlfriend everywhere.'
His mother says she would not mind her son bringing a girl home. According to her, Otto never get more than a kiss at the end of his dates, but is well prepared for the event with a room packed with condoms and a large pornography collection!
