'It's devastating to have your child be erased.'

Erin Pinnell and Lily Nicolson were both excluded from some of the class photos sent to parents Parents have been left ‘devastated’ after a photography firm offered to remove their disabled children from class photos. Three children at Aboyne Primary School in Scotland were edited out of one of the images sent via an internet link by photography company Tempest. This meant parents had the option to order a photo without them in it, leaving families to feel their children have been ‘erased’.

She said: ‘This is clear discrimination and shouldn’t happen in a school or anywhere. ‘It is the worst that Lily has been treated in her entire life. The school is so inclusive, Lily is included in everything the school does. ‘Her twin sister, Iona, is in a different class and I only got one photo for that class but I got two for Lily’s – one without my kid in it. It’s horrendous.
