| Mum: Will Anyone Sleep With My Down's Son? |
| 2009-03-20 |
| Lucy Baxter says she will even pay for a prostitute so he can lose his virginity. The mother has now set up a Bebo page for Otto appealing for potential dates to come forward. The leading campaigner has three other adopted sons with Down's. She said: "I'd like all my boys to find love and enjoy sex. I always look at what other people are doing and why shouldn't they do the same things? "I strongly believe, and have always said, that society has a learning disability when it comes to Down's syndrome. "If he doesn't get a girlfriend, I will feel really bad, because I have sold him this thing that he is like everybody else. That's why I'm working overtime to get this sorted for him." Otto enjoys acting and has appeared in local stage versions of Macbeth and The Canterbury Tales. He persuaded his mum to help him find a girlfriend after being rebuffed for three years - and says presenter Fearne Cotton is his ideal woman. He said: "I'm on a mission to find a girlfriend. I'm looking for girlfriends everywhere." Miss Baxter, 50, of Abingdon, Oxfordshire, has never married but has four adopted sons - James, 25, Otto, 21, Titus, 14, and Raphael, seven. She said: "Everyone else his age is having sex and enjoying being young adults, so why shouldn't Otto?" Miss Baxter is a respected member of the Down's Syndrome Association. |

| #2 She could call my Senator (Vitter) - he knows a good madame who could set her son up. Or if she can't reach Vitter, maybe Eliot Spitzer could help. I bet most politicians could, for that matter. |
