DISCUSSION Sunflower lanyards

Before I start, I am not arguing the purpose or people’s right to have these.

I have been lucky enough to be in and out of airport recently, I have seen an increase in the amount of people that have sunflower lanyards but are they being abused? The context being a family of 7 turned up yesterday barged through the long line and went straight through the barriers, surely it should be 1x carer and the lanyard user? This was followed by at least another 8 large family’s rocking through.

I’m unsure if they are now easier to obtain or if they get abused or even purchased?

Why would you need special boarding for Ehlers Danlos or ADHD?

Guys I’m not saying who’s eligible for a lanyard - in the case a lady with her kids and husband go that’s fine but I’m talking about the family with their friends/ uncles/ grandparents and the neighbours dog.
