Mom Wants Class Photo Retaken After Disabled Son Pushed to the Side

  • A heartbreaking photo of a second grader with spinal muscular atrophy who was forced to "sit out" his class photo went viral over the weekend, sparking accusations of discrimination directed toward the school photography company...
  • "I couldn’t comprehend how the photographer could look through the lens and think that this was good composition," Miles Ambridge's mom Anne Belanger told the Toronto Star. "This just boggled the mind."
  • The New Westminster, British Columbia, native said she refused to show her 7-year-old the photo — "Look at the angle that he was in. He wants to be part of the gang so much," she told The Province — but did post it on Lifetouch's Facebook page to bring the injustice to the company's attention. 

I saw it here. [And now I want to make a big donation to the kid's college fund.]
