Mencap's campaigns manager, Esther Foreman, who said: "It is disgusting that Frankie Boyle has chosen to target a child with a disability with these so-called jokes.
"Ignorant views like this help to fuel the verbal and physical abuse that people with a disability, and their families, are regularly subjected to. Comedy like this takes us back to the dark ages."
She said: "How can we eradicate negative stereotypes and expect the general public to treat people with a disability with the respect they deserve when such vile jokes are aired on national television?
