Protecting children against the mentally handicapped ?

Legoland refuse entry to a handicapped man with a child's mentality because he is overage... in years...

Anyway, absolutely no entry to Legoland for any adults not with children ...
That's sad -

society is sick.

A disabled man with the mental age of seven has been stopped from visiting Legoland with his carer because of ‘child protection’ policies.

Simon Thomason, 40, who has cerebral palsy, autism and a mental age of seven, has been told his annual pass to the Trafford Centre-based attraction will not be renewed.

Bosses at Legoland Discovery Centre say they have a policy of refusing entry to adults without children and have defended their decision to turn away Simon, who was accompanied by an adult carer.

But families and disability campaigners have slammed the policy as ‘discrimination’ and say it effectively bans their childless relatives from the attraction.

Simon’s sister Paula Thomason, 41, from Irlam, bought the £60 annual pass for her brother Simon last year after explaining his condition to staff.

But after seven months of weekly visits Simon was told he was no longer welcome due to ‘child protection’.

Not strange, I go whenever I'm home. I literally grew up there. My family went almost ever weekend from 84ish to 92ish. Then I got my own passes when I could.

Well it's wrong for them to bar him from going. He's guilty of a crime before anything happens and, unknown to us, only reason is he's mentally handicapped and still mentally as a child. So there could be a problem....
