A photo of a 1-year-old baby with Down syndrome adorably digging into her birthday cake attracted the wrong kind of attention from internet trolls. Instead of letting his anger take over, her dad decided to “educate the uneducated” and raise awareness on the condition. Since then, the video of the toddler has gone viral and touched the hearts of internet users worldwide.
Scott Gavin is a father of six from Kirkby, Merseyside, in the United Kingdom. His youngest daughter, Megan, was born with Down syndrome. Like any proud father, the man posted some cute pictures of little Megan covered in the cake from her first birthday party in early October 2019. However, some of the reactions weren’t as positive as one would hope. Gavin told Metro UK he was “mortified” to see offensive and insensitive comments about his little girl.
