21 Year Old with Down's Syndrome is looking for love on BBC Three
You might have read on our news page about Otto Baxter, he's a 21 year old with Down's Syndrome who is searching for love and looking to lose his virginity. Nothing unusual in that you might say, but he has the full support of his mother, who has helped him set up profiles on social networking sites and is reported to be willing to pay for a prostitute if necessary to help him in his quest.
The story has already provoked fierce discussion on the our Messageboard, now you can judge for yourself as Otto is one of the people featured on this week's episode of Natalie Cassidy's Real Britain on BBC Three on Thursday night at 8pm, or watch again on iPlayer. Let us know what you thought about the programme in the comments.

He's only disabled in the eyes of the programme maker. he's a human being and needs as much love and affection as any other human. Can I come to the wedding???

I am not sure what to say regarding this case re: Otto Baxter, since there are legal consequences on some of the stuff that has been rumoured that his mother was planning on doing...

He is of legal age and yeah, he's a human after all. But the mom's action somewhat speaks of desperation.
