CORNWALL, ENGLAND– [Excerpt provided by Inclusion Daily Express] A councillor who said disabled children should be “put down” has resigned.
Collin Brewer, a Cornwall councillor, made the comment to a charity worker in 2011, saying disabled children cost the authority too much money.
He made the comments to a Disability Cornwall member at a stall at County Hall in Truro.
Mr. Brewer said it was unlikely he would be a candidate in the May elections. “I was wrong, I admit it. I will continue to apologise,” he said.
Steve Paget, the chairman of Disability Cornwall, said: “Finally he’s seen sense and resigned. This situation should never have got to this stage.”
