I am shocked and disgusted at the staff and editors at Heat. Did they think the general public would find this amusing? I work in a secondary school with a large special needs department and many disabled youngsters. We spend our lives promoting inclusion and trying to stamp out bullying, only to have Heat magazine publicly ridicule and bully a very young child. I admire Katie Price for speaking openly and proudly about Harvey's condition, why should she hide him away. She is in the public eye and I think she is right to use her fame to promote awareness. Okay she may not appeal to everyone, but who does? Katie, Harvey and her family should be praised not ridiculed. I hope the magazine faces serious consequences from this outrageous stunt. I certainly won't be buying the magazine again.

I'm glad this story has been picked up on a wider scale. I don't think Jordan 'parades' her disabled son. I've always been impressed with how proud she is of him and how openly she talks about him. When you think about the stigma and discrimination associated with disabilities, Jordan & Peter are good examples of how disabled kids don't just get left at home with a carer. As for Heat, why don't we all just stop buying it, and remind the media never to under estimate the power of the paying public.

Jen Reiley, Cheltenham,

The media seem to think mocking disability is cool now. Because Heather Mills is a hate figure in this country (although not with me as I admire her strength and tireless work for charity), "comedians" such as Graham Norton and Jonathan Ross, and "newspapers" like 'The Sun' seem to think it is acceptable to make fun of her disability. And as she is disliked by so many, no complaint is made. I think it is disgusting to make fun of someone's disability, race or sexuality. I really thought we had moved on from all that sort of vile behaviour in the 21st century.

Betty Cave, London,

I actually read heat and enjoy it. However when I opened it on Tuesday morning I was disgusted.
He is an ill child, no matter what you think of Jordan, no one should mock him for disabilities he was born with.

L Forbes, Dundee,

I object to the line that 'Jordan parades her disabled son' - surely she just includes him, alongwith her other children, to family events - there would be more outrage if she left him at home. Damned if she does and damned if she doesn't.

Julie, Middlesbrough,

What no-one seems to appreciate is that Jordan has given permission for the images of her son to be used. Permission, one can assume, that was given in exchange for hard cash. It's perhaps an editorial misjudgement that it ended up on a sticker.

Yes, Heat is drivel. But due to the absence of any talent, this magazine and it's like put food on Jordan's table. She's well and truly biting the hand that feeds....

Or is it a cynical ploy by her to get more money out of them. And don't forget the free publicity - the untalented thrive on it.

Terry Fellows, chester, UK

I think as journalists and editors working very closely with popular celebrity personalities, we all have a responsibility to cater for our readers without compromising the personal privacy of the individuals whose lives are of intrigue to the wider public.

Reporting on celebrity culture and news within acceptable journalistic limits is fine but targeting minors, especially those with disabilities, is clearly crossing the line. We have made a formal complaint echoing the concerns of Katie Price and I am also sending her and Peter a personal letter expressing my support in this matter.

Reena Combo, Editor, Ikonz magazine, Birmingham, West Midlands

It seems the press find it acceptable to mock the disabled. Well, I think they picked on the wrong person this time, Hopefully Ms Price will take this all way and they will be made to pay.
It might make the media think twice the next time they decide to mock somebody for their disablities or imperfections,

Julia, hertford, England

Well one thing is if they bring it to court, it will take ages until the case is done. Back door settlement i assume but then again back to the point of using a picture of a young disabled child; its just very distasteful for media. What happens to the world we live in?

Natalya H, London, Uk

It doesn't surprise me that Heat magazine did this. It's whole raison d'etre seems to be ridiculing people - especially women, and in a worryingly misogynist way.

Mocking disabled children as part of its circulation boosting strategy is therefore just one small step onwards.

It makes me sad that this is the type of publication available to
young people today. Bring back Smash Hits, I say. Doesn't Mark Frith ever hark back to that title and wonder what's happened?

Katya, London ,

i think its disgusting and sick. how would the people at heat feel if they were in katies position and it was there son being targeted or nephew,grandchild i get heat delivered to my door every week. not any more you should all be ashamed he's a little boy with a disability.

People are now complaining about Heat? what exactly did you find interesting about it before? the way they abuse, lie about celebs? oh yeah, it made you feel better about yourselves but now that they've used a child, you are all up on your three legged chairs to condemn them. Was it alright when they just put the pics of celeb kids in the mags? kids who have no business being on their pages, writing about them? Why wouldn't they abuse Harvey? their readers already gave them Carte Blanche by buying every of their single issues so why shouldn't they do what they like? Apparently the Press Complaints Commission have received 30 complaints. 30, what a number.

Amy, London, UK

Heat knows its readers, it knows the kind of things they settle for. It knows how low they are prepared to go and this is why they the kid's sticker there. How many of you chuckled at the V Beckham, Britney, Amy Wineshouse, etc. stickers. Thinking, "yeah, bring him/her down a peg"? how many? Well, as you are complaing about Heat, find a mirror and take a good look. Every supplier knows their customer. Demand and they supply!

Amy, London, UK

Ever since heat started, I have bought their magazine but I have now bought my last ever copy. I am disgusted and disappointed in them. It wasn't just the Harvey sticker but also the other stickers, which were all in poor taste. I suggest that everyone who reads the magazine, no longer buys it. Let them suffer!

For a few months now, I have always thought heat were going downhill and a bit cheap but as a loyal reader, I always supported them. However, not anymore. How can you support anyone after this? They have a problem with Katie Price, fair enough but they were using her disabled child to try and make a dig at her. What a ridiculous and sick thing to do. No doubt next issue (and I won't be reading it or buying it) they will make a "joke apology". By that I mean they apologise but try and be funny at the same time, which they stopped being a long time ago.

If there is one person you don't want to over-step the mark with, its Jordan and I doubt she will ever let them forget

jackie, london,

Whos Katie Price? Is she better known as Jordan. Oh yeah thanks for pointing that out twice in the above article. It seems Times journalists feel that their readers have the same intelligence and attention span as readers of Heat magazine.

Gary, Essex,

In response to the Times reader who was quoted as saying "I've always felt huge distaste for the way in which Jordan parades her disabled child in celebrity magazines", do you also find celebrities parading their non-disabled children in magazines distasteful? A person shouldn't be hidden away from the world just because they have a disability.

Frith should get the sack for this, its disgusting that he and other staff at Heat could even find this funny, let alone publish a sticker to make a mockery of the child and others in his position.

Laura, Bristol,

Absolutley disgraceful. I hope Katie slams them. As for Emap, well lets say this sort of thing does not surprise me one bit.

S, UK,

Well fair enough it was a silly thing to have done but unlike most other commenters here I quite like Heat.

I don't however look to it for help forming my opinions about the disabled...or indeed anything else; If they say a stupid thing (and they often do!) I just ignore it.

If you don't like it don't read it & market forces will soon eliminate it if your opinion is widely held.

If most people don't agree, it's a shame but that's democracy for you.

Mikey, Bromley, Kent

Frith's head should roll for this.

A. Hunt, London, UK

I have also complained to the PCC and Emap - there is no justification or excuse possible for such an offensive, cruel and deliberate act - regardless of what people might think about Katie Price it is totally inexcusable!

manc, Weybridge, Surrey

The title is bought by over 550,000 people each week and read by many more.

and there in that one sentance is everything that is wrong with this country.

degsy bunny rabbit, liverpool,

hows insensitive is the human race inthis day and age!

Harvey is so cute and gorgeous, nonetheless people still get a kick out of someone elses misfortunes!

What goes around comes around!

Kiran, London,

Heat magazine revolt me.

Emma, Barnstaple, North Devon

I and a number of my friends have forwarded complaints to the PCC and to Heat Magazine about this. As the parent of a disabled child, it's bad enough that some of the general public see fit to mock and behave in an ignorant manner towards anyone with a disability, without the trash media reinforcing these attitudes. I hope that Katie and Peter take them to the cleaners over this disgusting display of bigotry against a young child who is unable to defend himself.

I already despised these magazines for their attitudes, feeding young women's obsessions with looks and body image but this takes them to an all time low.

Amanda Winter, Stockton-on-Tees,

DISGUSTING!! This drivel should be closed down immediatley!!!

nicki, stoke on trent, staffs

Heat are losing readers on a weekly basis because of the trashy slating they give to anyone and everyone. It used to be informative, if celeb based but it's no more than gutter journalism now. Heatworld.com is meant to be there for readers to comment on the magazine and stories but whenever anyone comments in a way that Heat doesn't like or in a way that shows them for what they really are and puts them in a bad light, the comments are deleted and a banner stating the comments were inappropriate is slapped across the space. It's a forum for free speech, except it isn't, not really. It's there for people to tell Heat how wonderful they are and if you don't agree, then your not allowed to post. I hope they continue to lose readers the way they have been, and perhaps finally, they will realise that they have to tidy up their journalism efforts if they want to keep their readers.
