I am guilty of perusing the DM website at work as I find it's good comedy value. I just clocked this "story"...

It's a fucking error, you morons. Are you making such a song and dance about the "trauma" of it to back up the claim for compensation that you'll be lodging soon? When you do get your payout, I suggest you put some of the cash towards getting a grip.

Why is this just coming up ?

6 months since their last visit in May.

I suspect other stuff may have happened in the interim.

On the plus side, if they do get compo they'll be able to buy furniture thats not on the piss.

Oh god rationalist that'll keep me amused for hours... now when I was a kid, I was always roped in for the generic angelic child shots for the local paper... the halo's slipped somewhat since then and I could probably use it as a hula hoop now.

Whilst agreeing that this story is not worthy of a DM whinge, I would be pretty upset if I got this letter.

The kid was very ill and admitted to hospital, a few weeks or whatever later he had similar symptoms and the parents took him back to a&e. Presumably they were frightened by the earlier experience and just shot him up there.

I think I would do the same TBH.

Have no idea what the couple's clothes have to do with this though.

I suspect the DM trawls around for stories like this on a slow day, it probably got wind of the letters and dug about a bit til they found this family. A sweet little old lady would have done just as well.

Cant see where it says they are after compensation though. Is that just based on their outfits or the heavily highlighted hair and tattoos?

Not just on that. Their kid is called Mason so I judged on that too.
