2001 rita baughmy grandaughter has congenital myopathy including hip dysplasia and I am appalled that at 12 months old she is not entitled to a disabled badge
2002 Malika DjellaliMy 5 months old daughter will be in a spica by end of the month. I can only imagine the struggle on a daily basis. I think it is a very reasonable and fair request that should be taken seriously.

2006 Sarah WhelanMy daughter is due to go in a hip spica in 2 weeks and the only train staion near me has no access to the platform bar 30 steep steps, so to get out of the house to shop or go anywhere i will need to use my car, But I may arrive at a destination and have to turn back as I can't get her out of the car.

2022 Steven TomlinsonMy nephew was in spica and my sister and her husband really struggled with parking during this testing time. Its about time some of the people who write the rules got out there and tried to cope with it.

2027 AnonymousI have been in a similar situation and regard this act of petty beurocracy as an absolute insult to people who are going through enough stress and turmoil as it is. I hope this gets sorted out soon.
2028 philippa hodgeI wholeheartedly support this campaign. My nine month old daughter spent 16 weeks in a full spica which was extremely heavy and it is difficult to carry a child in this legs wide apart position. She is now in a brace in the same abduction position and we are unable to find anywhere that will loan us a pushchair wide enough, or chairs or any equipment of any sort! Gobowen Hospital where she is being treated do not have ANY equipment to loan to me for this period of 16 weeks whilst she is in a brace and this includes large pushchairs. The fact that parents are left to find large pushchairs and purchase equipment is another matter altogether. Drug addicts receive free education, methodone, cannabis, support workers and needles from the NHS. Young children immobilised in plaster apparently don't count as important.

2034 Ieva grigieneI have baby on oxigen, i need to carry oxigen with me for 24/7. If i go to hospital or shopping centre is not enough spaces with children , so you can imagine how i need to take baby and oxigen out if i can not open a door. I agree it shoul be change

2041 Amanda MelbardisThe Disabled Badge system needs sa complete overhaul. There are too many able bodied people who abuse this system and to many people like these children who need all the halp they can get yet still get fobbed off.
2042 Jane MannGood luck with this worthy campaign. I support you whole-heartedly.
2043 sara ForbesGood luck with the petition you should be eligible
2044 sue LathamI am a grandmother of eleanor who is 3 months and has just gone into a spica cast. I fully support your petition for a blue badge. I know Dr's sign blue badge forms too easily. The system is abused as are the parking spaces for both mother & baby as well as disabled. The age definately does need to be amended to include babies in spica casts. There is enough to cope with, My daughter has had to but a new car seat, new pram, bigger clothes to fit over the cast. People don't need the added hastle of wondering if they can get parked. I actually have a blue badge myself, and i find it extremely annoying and worrying about getting parked. The supermarket spaces are the worst for abuse. Thanks for all the hard work you are doing on behalf of "hip Kid" parents and indeed Grandparents.
2045 J & I BaylissIt's disgarceful that a temporary blue bagde cannot be granted. My daughter is about to spend 6 weeks in a hip spica, I will have no hesitation in using disabled car park spaces at the supermarket, she is more disabled than some people that have & abuse tha blue badge system.
2046 mrs Claire GreavesI think that any child who has DDH,CDH or any other hip condtition should be entitled to a blue badge. My daughter had bilaterial CDH and i struggled all the time getting here in and out of the car espcially if there were no large spaces.

2048 David BurgessI have not long found out that my little girl Isobelle Is having a cast put fitted in two weeks. When doing reserch I was amazed that She did not qualify for a blue badge. Maybe one of these pen pushers should have a go at getting a child in frog plaster out of a car with a half open door.
