Imagine living in a country where this seems normal. Imagine having a job which means you tell a family that their child cannot have a wheelchair. Imagine a population that allows this to happen.
in the actual article about this, the kid's dad says they didn't even try to get him approved for a chair.
"Cillian still lacks some of the maturity and focus to drive an electric wheelchair in a public setting, which is the primary reason why he hasn't been approved for one. Frankly, we haven't even tried yet because we know he would be denied based on the proficiency requirement," Tyler Jackson said.
The article also has no price for the kids' chair, just that power chairs in general can cost that much.

I'm not smiling at this. This is just sad.
