Romeo Beckham has Epilepsy
The son of soccer superstar DAVID BECKHAM and former SPICE GIRL VICTORIA BECKHAM is reportedly suffering from epilepsy. The high-profile couple, who are followed by paparazzi wherever they go, are said to be terrified four-year-old ROMEO will suffer an epileptic fit triggered by the flashing lights of cameras. Last week (ends03NOV06), Victoria was pushing Romeo in his pushchair through London's Heathrow airport when the boy was forced to shield his eyes from an onslaught of camera flashes. British newspaper the News Of The World reports that worried mother Victoria shouted at the photographers: "Leave him alone. He's got epilepsy. All that flashing will start an epileptic fit. You can't do that." A friend tells the publication, "(Victoria and David) are devastated - worried sick about Romeo. He is on medication to control the seizures but obviously things like flashing lights can trigger one at any time. "They only hope the medication limits the number of fits he suffers to a minimum and he can enjoy as normal a life as possible. They are just praying Romeo gets better." Flash photography is one of the trigger factors for epileptic seizures. In extreme cases attacks can be fatal. I feel bad for him. That is a serious condition and if flashing lights trigger it, the paparazzi could be a major threat to the child's life. Knowing how ruthless they can be though, it must be a scary situation to be in. sian pulak aku membacanya..

Victoria and David Beckham’s middle son, five year-old Romeo, suffers from the seizure disorder epilepsy, which can be triggered by the constant flash of the paparrazi’s cameras that follow the couple:
The world’s most-photographed celebrity family are desperate to protect little Romeo from fans and paparazzi eager to get a snap.
The lad, who turned four just five weeks ago, has been warned to avoid flashing lights known to cause potentially-fatal seizures.
The frightened youngster reacted violently after being photographed at Heathrow last Saturday as he returned to Britain from Madrid with Posh and brothers Brooklyn, seven, and Cruz, one.
Initially he shielded his eyes against the flashes as his mother pushed him through the terminal building in his buggy and out to a waiting car.
He then started screaming in terror and lashing out with his legs as one photographer pressed his camera inside the car and started flashing.
Only then did horrified Posh, 32, reveal the truth about brave Romeo’s dangerous condition.
She pulled her blond-headed son to her, shielded him from the lights and yelled: “Leave him alone.
“He’s got epilepsy. All that flashing will start an epileptic fit. You can’t do that!”
Kevin Smith — owner of Splash news, the agency that took the shot —said: “No picture is worth putting a child’s life in danger.
“Now that we know Romeo has epilepsy I will not be authorising any of my photographers to take flash pictures of him. I think this is absolutely the right thing to do and I hope other agencies follow suit.”
And we at the News of the World are only printing the shocking picture — taken BEFORE the facts were known — to persuade fans and the world’s press to act responsibly.
The frightening incident came soon after specialists told the couple that Romeo’s condition was more serious than first feared and that he had epilepsy.
Romeo has endured a series of frightening fits and has been rushed to hospital four times in three years.
Intially it was thought his attacks were simply febrile convulsions, common in young children running a high temperature.
But when the fits continued with no clear explanation he was tested for epilepsy, which has now been confirmed.
A close friend of Posh and Real Madrid star Becks said: “They have told friends the situation. While it’s heartbreaking, he is being brave.
“They are devastated — worried sick about Romeo. He is on medication to control the seizures but obviously things like flashing lights can trigger one at any time. ni gambo utk tajuk topik.

Photographers have pledged to stop taking pictures of former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham's son Romeo, because camera flashes could trigger an epileptic fit.
Last week, Victoria was pushing the four-year-old in his pushchair through London's Heathrow airport when the boy was forced to shield his eyes from an onslaught of camera flashes.
A spokesperson for picture agency Worldwide Entertainment News Network (WENN) says, "We will certainly stop taking flash pictures of Romeo if he suffers from epilepsy. There is no way we would want to harm someone just for the sake of a picture." [quote]
