Best-selling crime writer Ian Rankin has described the “tough” situation of being unable to touch or hug his disabled son for almost a year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Rankin said his son Kit, who has the genetic condition Angelman syndrome, does not understand the circumstances but is well looked after by staff at his care facility, where he has a safe and “pretty full life.”
In an interview with Times Radio, Rankin highlighted the difficulties faced by families with vulnerable relatives.
“We’ve seen images on TV and we’ve heard from people about the problems they have visiting elderly relatives, but there are lots of us out there that have less elderly relatives who are also in full-time care and it’s tough on these families as well,” he said.
