In an emotional revelation that has sparked concern among disability advocates, Katie Price's eldest son Harvey was captured on camera experiencing a distressing meltdown at his specialist residential college.
The 21-year-old, who lives with multiple complex conditions including autism, Prader-Willi syndrome, and partial blindness, could be heard shouting "I want to go home" during the heartbreaking incident at the National Star College in Gloucestershire.
A Mother's Heartbreak
Former glamour model Katie Price, 45, has been vocal about her ongoing battle to secure appropriate care for her son. The recent footage highlights the continuing challenges faced by families navigating Britain's specialist care system.
"It's absolutely heartbreaking," a source close to the family revealed. "Katie has fought tooth and nail to get Harvey the support he needs, but seeing him so distressed is every parent's worst nightmare."
Complex Care Needs
Harvey requires round-the-clock specialist support due to his multiple conditions. His placement at the residential college was intended to provide consistent professional care while developing his independence skills.
However, the emotional footage suggests the transition hasn't been without difficulties. The young man's audible distress in the video has raised questions about whether current care provisions adequately meet the needs of those with complex disabilities.
Ongoing Advocacy
Katie Price has become a prominent campaigner for disability rights since Harvey's birth, using her platform to highlight gaps in the care system. Her documentary series "Katie Price: Harvey and Me" previously showcased their journey through the education and social care maze.
The latest development comes as many families report similar struggles accessing appropriate specialist provision across the UK, with waiting lists growing and resources stretched thin.
As the conversation around disability care continues, Harvey's experience serves as a poignant reminder of the very real human stories behind the statistics.
