Boy with Tourette's left devastated after being refused boarding on a BA flight

A teenager with Tourette's was left in floods of tears after British Airways refused him from boarding a flight after he shouted 'bomb' at the gate. Mason Entwistle, 13, was set to fly to Alicante from Gatwick Airport on Saturday with a party of 10 including his father Martyn, mother Gemma and two sisters. BA had been made aware days before-hand that Mason, who was 'incredibly nervous', had been diagnosed with coprolalia some six months earlier.But when the youngster involuntarily shouted 'bomb' at the gate, he and his family were thrown off the flight after being deemed a 'safety threat'. Video footage taken by Mason's father shows him desperately pleading with a BA duty manager, questioning why his child was being discriminated for his disability.
