While attending a concert by singer Pink, a boy with Down syndrome cannot contain himself and dances to the music. He and his mother are then thrown out.
Little Jesse and his single mother Vanessa had to leave the concert hall shortly before a performance by the famous singer Pink. The reason for this was the wild dancing of the boy, who has Down syndrome.
Vanessa had paid 630 British pounds (the equivalent of 746 euros) for the Pink tickets in advance and wanted to see Jesse’s idol with him. Jesse, who could not sit still due to his disability and limitations, danced wildly to the opening act. This is said to have attracted the attention of security staff. Despite Vanessa’s explanation that her son had Down syndrome, they were given an ultimatum to sit down or leave the premises. But the boy was unable to do this.
According to the Daily Mail, they eventually escorted other staff out of the concert hall just as Pink was taking the stage. Vanessa reported that they felt “like criminals.” “Jesse and I love Pink. I think Pink would be disgusted if she found out,” the mother said, according to the Daily Mail.
According to security staff, people had complained about the dancing boy. Vanessa found this an impossible explanation. “We didn’t block anyone’s view and when Pink came out, everyone was dancing. It’s impossible for a little boy with Down syndrome who is one meter tall to even be above the buttocks of the person opposite him!”
Vanessa Vasey spoke out about what happened after the incident: “All Jesse has now are memories of me crying, being upset and angry, and the rudeness of people.” After she reported the incident on Facebook, her post was shared over 1,400 times.
A spokesperson for Tottenham Hotspur Stadium told the Daily Mail that they were aware of the complaint but had not received it directly. He assured that the safety of all event attendees remains their top priority. “As a venue that prides itself on providing fully inclusive facilities for all, we are extremely sorry that Jesse did not have a positive experience at Saturday night’s concert,” the event organizer said.
He continues: “After further investigation, we can confirm that Ms Vasey was offered assistance by our security and welfare teams throughout the night to ensure Jesse had a pleasant experience, including access to our special ‘Sensory Room’. The offers of assistance were declined by Ms Vasey and the group decided to leave the event.”
