Are disabled people treated badly in this country?

JVS asks for your opinions.

The phone-in at 9, 'Are disabled people treated badly in this country?'
A wheelchair user from Milton Keynes risks missing out on watching the Paralympics because she can't sit with her children. Melissa Chapin bought tickets online last September, but has discovered that her 8-year-old twins are seated 15 rows behind because they're not allowed to be in the disabled section. LOCOG say "Children can be accompanied by any responsible adult, whether a wheelchair user or otherwise."

From 10, 'How can Brooke's family raise 拢50,000?' JVS meets 2 year-old Brooke. Brooke has optic nerve hypoplasia which means she cannot see. Her grandmother Dee and mother Leah are trying to raise money for specialist treatment in China.
