She can sue the poster for using her child’s image, not expect society to conform to a different paradigm with nonsense “hate speech” laws.

If “hate speech” laws are in existence and prosecuted, then disabled people should be covered by them.

Once “hate speech” laws are jettisoned, then what you say is correct.
