21 Year Old with Down's Syndrome is looking for love on Ö÷²¥´óÐã 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 Ö÷²¥´óÐã Three on Thursday night at 8pm, or watch again on iPlayer. Let us know what you thought about the programme in the comments.
