The 22-year-old went on to recall a time a woman screamed at her in a Burger King, prompted by an issue she had with Jasper.
Charlie said: “A lady came up to us and said ‘she’s really cute’. I said, ‘oh, he’s a boy’, and she started shouting at me, asking what genitalia he had. No one stepped in, which upset me because she was shouting in my face in front of Jasper. She also said, ‘you are going to confuse it’, referring to him. Poor Jasper was just trying to eat his ice cream.”
Charlie has lived in various places in southern England with Jasper, trying to find a place where she feels her and her son belong.
In Canterbury, she said people were “either really nice or really mean to me”. Now living in Folkestone, Charlie claimed “people are a lot friendlier”. “It’s really cool down here,” she added.
She went on to say that, recently, she has received no abuse near the school gates, but critics have been very active online. One person wrote: “Where’s the school? The red light district?” Another commented: “School or strip club?”
