Mothers of special needs children who attend Aboyne Primary School in Scotland, were left distraught after their disabled children were removed from a class photo.
Parents were given the option to order a memento without or without them in it.
The images were sent through an internet link, leaving parents shocked over the discriminatory concept.
Natalie Pinnell, a businesswoman and mother-of-two, whose nine-year-old daughter Erin, uses a wheelchair, told MailOnline that she was 'devastated’ over the Cornwall-based Tempest Photography’s actions. She said it was simply ‘inhumane’, adding that her child had been ‘erased from history’.
The company stated that it is investigating the case.
She later explained how she was left furious after receiving two photo links, one that included her daughter in the class picture, and one that did not.
Similarly, another class of the same school received two separate photographs.
Lisa Boyd, another parent who was left outraged, said her nine-year-old daughter, Lily Nicolson has cerebral palsy, and uses a wheelchair.
Lily, along with another special needs boy in her class, were removed from some of their class pictures.
Ms Boyd alleged the reason the photographer gave to the school initially was that it could take time to get some children ‘focused’.
The school, who caters to children in need of support, vowed to never use the company again.
Aberdeenshire Council stated that it is inspecting the incident. The council said the decision to offer images ‘with and without complex needs provision pupils’ was not taken by the school.
BBC Scotland contacted the company responsible, Tempest Photography, for statements, but they said they are still investigating the case, and therefore would not be able to comment at this stage.
