Mother Receives $145 Parking Ticket For Stopping to Resuscitate Her Disabled Son

London police are refusing to rescind a $145 ticket given to Penny Batkin, 40, who had the audacity to pull to the pavement to jump out to resuscitate her severely disabled son, Freddie, 4.

Baktkin was driving to a hospice in the emergency. The Richmond Council’s parking office later refused even when told of the circumstances. While disabled activists are seeking merely to have the ticket rescinded, they should be pushing for an officer to be removed from the force.

Of course, we have seen similar acts of utter disregard and cruelty from our own officers, as in the recent Boston case.
