In what can only be described as a disgraceful act, Charlotte Caldwell had her son’s medicinal cannabis oil confiscated at Heathrow airport.

12-yr-old Billy Caldwell from Castlederg, Co. Tyrone has a severe form of rare epilepsy that sees the youngster having multiple seizures daily.

The medicinal cannabis oil has substantially reduced the boy’s problem and has helped him and his mam live a normal life again.

The British Home Office is now returning Billy’s cannabis oil medication and they took it off Charlotte as she made her way through Heathrow Airport.

Young Billy is in hospital in London at the moment after his seizures intensified and he had no access to the cannabis oil because the heartless border control thugs are said to have left his mother in tears in the airport.

It’s understood that the cannabis oil has seen Billy’s seizures reduced by at least 300 a year.
