UNBELIEVABLE: Disabled boy s mum sleeps in same bed as him due to it being a death trap | History Defined

A six-year-old boy has suffered a burst lip and a range of injuries from his bed with his much says it a "death trap".

Kaylan Gibson has cerebral palsy among other conditions, and has fallen out of his adjustable adult hi-low bed and barely avoided becoming stuck in it. Mother Kayley Thompson sleeps in the single bed with her son, feeling she has no other options to keep her little boy safe.

The family need a special bed for Kaylan, and claim an occupational therapist said it was likely they would get a specially designed Oasis cot bed, with high, padded sides to keep him safe at night. But Kayley and dad Jordan Gibson's hopers were dashed after social workers informed them that Kaylan will not be given the bed, reports ChronicleLive.
