    ...I find some of the comments such as "scum" disgusting.

    Maybe because monkfish used the word first, other people felt okay to use it too? :)

    To have parking worries on top is just unfair.

    It's the same for those of us who don't have a BB. But why should she be able to use it when her daughter isn't being picked up or dropped off? That's the issue people in this thread have.

    yeah, probably... cos the nice person that smashed my window, and stole the badge in the first place, with no doubt the intention of either selling it on, or using it illegally themselves, was probably really really sweet....

    Rules shmules.

    Rules go out the window when it comes to the care of your kids.

    Honestly, all the problems in the world and yet it comes to this!

    I'm just sorry I don't know how to actually help you OP. I'm hoping someone will come along in the know who will actually be able to answer the question that you asked in the first place.

    I do know that you can apply for some sort of funding to assist with the parking costs should it come to that but no doubt someone will disagree with that too. :rollseyes:

    Yes. My parents have had to do this several because of mine & my dads' illnesses.

    So... maybe the badge was stolen by another parent with a sick child in hospital who didn't want to pay £42 per day. With your 'rules shmules' attitude you'd have to support the thief. :rotfl:
