Katie Price is scared that her autistic son Harvey could call the wrong person “a d**khead” and be beaten up.
The 42-year-old has revealed she doesn’t allow Harvey to walk the streets alone out of fear he’d find himself in trouble.
Not only is Harvey disabled but also diagnosed with the rare disorder septo-optic dysplasia when he was born, which affects everything from his brain function to his vision.
As a result of all of his conditions, he is now partially sighted and last year found himself in a critical condition after he was rushed to hospital and taken into intensive care.

Speaking to New magazine, Katie opened up about her deep dread of allowing Harvey out alone, worrying that the consequences could be severe.
The My Crazy Life star said: “For him to walk the streets on his own wouldn’t be realistic.
“What scares me is that if he walked past somebody and said, ‘Hello you d**khead’, because he does that because he thinks it’s funny, someone could take that the wrong way in the street.”

She went on: “He could get punched and he would cower. That breaks my heart. He needs 24-hour care but he can still have an independent life.
“After college he’s definitely coming home to me, without a doubt.”
Earlier this week it was uncovered that Katie had reluctantly agreed to give Harvey some independence now that he is officially a grown up.

Katie said that as much as the decision pained her, she knew that moving her eldest son to a residential college would be the right thing for both of them.
It would be a permanent move and Harvey will venture home at weekends to be with his mum.
Katie told The Sun: “It’s so upsetting to think I won’t see him every day but this is the best thing for Harvey.
“We have to think positively because I don’t want him to think I’m just getting rid of him.
“This is his chance to live an independent life, learn skills and socialise with people other than me.
“I’m trying to get him used to me not being there all the time. But he’ll call on his iPad and say, ‘Mum, I need you’, and I run to him.”
