Katie Price has made the heart breaking confession that she’s considering putting Harvey into residential care, as he’s becoming a danger to himself and his siblings

The 16 year old has multiple disabilities, including autism, Prader-Willis Syndrome, and partial blindness.

Speaking to the BBC’s Victoria Derbyshire, Katie said he sometimes scares her other children and is constantly smashing things.

“For the first time ever now I'm thinking he might have to go residential, Monday to Friday," she said. "He's missing out on his education, he just wants to be with me all the time. He knows, if he kicks off in the morning, the driver won't take him to school. He has sussed that.”

"It's so hard. I've never had respite, I do it all myself. But I'm really having to think about it. I hate it because he's my life. I've got to do what's best for him, but it won't be forever.

"When he's smashing things and the kids are a bit scared because he's big, he'll chase them and stuff, I've just got to do it for him."

Speaking about the work that goes into supporting Harvey, the mum of five held up a case of all the medication Harvey takes on a daily basis.

“He needs all these meds here to survive, if he doesn't have these he will literally die.

“He wets the bed twice a night. Today, before we came, I had to bath him, wash him, because he can't do it himself, I had to dress him."

Katie was on the show to discuss her recent successful campaign to have online bullying made a criminal offense, as Harvey has been the victim of incessant trolling since he was a child.

Harvey’s absent dad is ex-footballer Dwight Yorke, and Katie says a lot of the abuse has come from the football community.

"Most of the trolling he gets is from the football background, football fans,” she said. “We looked into it. I had no idea, but most of it is actually from the football fans."
