The mother of a disabled child claims she found an angry note posted on a car that shamed her for parking in a handicapped space.

Colleen Stice from Tulsa had left her car in the special space outside a Target store as she was shopping with her son Rowan.

The four-year-old suffers from several disabilities and has to rely on a wheelchair to get around, Daily Mail reports.

But as the wheelchair was being cleaned, Ms Stice had no other option than to carry Rowan in her arms while she shopped.

However, when she returned to her car, she noticed a note had been left on her dash shaming her, after the writer assumed her son didn't have special needs.

It read: "We watched you pull into the handicap spot and get out carrying a toddler.

"You have no right to park in a handicap space. It is for handicap people!

"Shame on you!"

And now Ms Stice is calling on people not to pass judgement on others adding that that words can hurt.

She told News on 6: "Immediately, I felt shocked for a minute, but then I was just angry, I was so mad.

"I cried from being so mad because I couldn't believe someone felt the need to pass judgment on someone and to put it so cruelly.

"You don't know who you're passing judgment on, so don't do it."

Ms Stice also posted the picture of the note to Facebook to raise awareness and it was shared almost 2,000 times.

One person commented: "So sorry this happened to you and your sweet son. Please know that many people care and wish the best for you. God bless you and Merry Christmas."

While another wrote: "People can be hurtful. No one can judge who actually needs a handicap sticker. Just because you can walk doesn't mean you are not sick or that you are not able to walk far. You wouldn't have the handicap parking tag if you didn't need it."
