Are you saying her level of outrage is appropriate?
She didnt get a lawyer
she didnt call coprorate
she posted about it on social media
you are currently arguing about it on a social wesbite
I dont see the big deal
quote:she could have. However, considering he was taught in therapy this is how to eat so he can be somewhat independent, I dont put the fault on the mother for being upset
"huh, guess they don't allow this here." And fed him herself?
I put the fault on a bad manager being bad at his job. And so does the general manager and owner of IHOP

The general manager later apologized, the mother says, but the damage was already done. Bancroft told KARK that the day after the incident, the boy wanted to sit in a chair instead of on the table.
Good. Sitting on the table is not safe in the first place.

is my understanding the mother carried him into the restaurant then to the bathroom to wash his feet
Non issue then. At that point feet are probably cleaner than the hordes of people who touch syrup with their hands after not washing

The manager should have really run away from this one.
He could have at least given the kid a hand, if not a whole arm.

This is so stupid. The mom was definitely ready to jump on social media to play the victim card. If I walked in and saw a kid pouring syrup with his feet then I would have left without sitting down.
All this mom is teaching her son is that rules don't apply to him. In other words,the old "we just want him to be treated like everyone else" is really "we expect you to make exceptions for us."

Where is my faux outrage?
I am not outraged, and my reaction isn’t fake
I simply think it’s cruel to make light of a disabled kid.

A quote from Forrest Gump that doesn’t even make sense because he has both legs...

shite my 3 year old has all his parts and he still wants to be fed sometimes. Good for that little guy for adapting.
If I was the GM, I'd have figured it out. If I was the parent, I probably would have fed my son to avoid drama and commotion.

It is something I dont do, and I find it cruel
I get that some people thing its fair game to make fun of disabled kids and not a big deal
That a no go for me. Not the end of the world, just something that turns my stomach a little bit
There are things I say that others likely find over the line

The GM did everything he could to fix it. The manager is who screwed up

Dude...not only does he eat with his feet, but he has to sit on the table (which is a fall hazard). It really isn't hard for his mother to cut his pancakes and feed it to him. It's false outrage.
Yeah this seems completely set up because mom needs some go fund me money.

2 shitty leg puns that again make no sense because he has both legs and a post blaming his parents for his disability. Not one post making fun of the kid.
Get off your high horse dude. No one made fun of the kid having no arms.

Was she your wife? You're too invested in this.

Or you know the more likely scenario he was implying, she’s making the most of an unfortunate situation.

The kid has no arms. He absolutely would be taught to eat with his feet. I dont think letting him feed himeself was all a setup from the beginning

I like how you've been on team boat lately after you wandered through the wilderness for a little while.
