Reminding everyone again. Having a disabled child is not a pass to let them be violent towards workers at an establishment. As their parent and guardian it’s your job to step in and not let them hurt anyone. Why do so many moms not understand that?

This reminds me of the time my autistic/OCD cousin punched me in the groin area over and over again trying to hit me in the balls, which he did at least once. I kicked him in the stomach and he stopped. EVERYONE at that Thanksgiving dinner got mad at me for “attacking a disabled person” and I had to argue along these exact lines. Fuck your disability, if you’re using it as an excuse to be violent, you’ll get no sympathy from me. (I’m disabled).

Say it again because they don’t listen; your disabled child isn’t going to get a pass from society.

In my case it was a child with severe autism that violently grabbed my uniform, pulled my hair and slapped me in the face while the mom stood there and did nothing. Gave me a look like “you better not say shit” I have autism too, prone to panic attacks and don’t like being touched. Technically I could call the cops for assault. But of course she called corporate on me when I told her I wasn’t ok with her kid touching me.

I remember having a Saturday job at a restaurant & I walked up to this table and couldn’t hide the way my jaw dropped bc the kid had covered the entire table in crayon and squirted the ketchup and mustard all up the window next to them & food smeared all over the chairs/thrown all over the floor & all they did was laugh and say “if you think this is bad, you should see what he’s like at home!”

Say it again because they really don’t listen: you don’t get a pass for bad parenting because your child is disabled

yeah its a pretty tough line, i grew up with a severely autistic cousin and i love her but i cannot physically be around her for more than 20 minutes bc she doesnt understand basic boundaries or gets very offended if you tell her no. i blame it on her parents tho, they genuinely dont gaf about her and it makes me very sad

Eventually. They did this a few times before my Manager agreed on banning them though.🥲 They didn’t even get banned for making mess but bc the kid was riding up and down between tables in his heelys and hit one of the waiters who’d just come back after an op on his back and they refused to stop him.

That’s some next level parental neglect, I feel sorry for both you and that kid when he grows up, he’s going to have no social skills or awareness of boundaries or anything, good god

We gotta remind people that the law only protects reasonable accommodations and literal battery is not reasonable

Oh I’m sorry that happened to you but for personal comfort the law supersedes corporate. Only you can protect yourself, and sometimes parents need to learn the hard way that the world won’t cater to their child. I would definitely recommend still pressing charges if possible.
