    Sounds like the parent is upset because someone *dared* tell his little angel "no", and then called it discrimination after the fact.

    There's usually a range of expected/acceptable behaviors depending on the establishment, and disability or not, you can't go into an establishment and let your child run wild and not expect someone to say something about it.

    If I saw a kid spinning around on a concrete floor, I would absolutely be concerned about him getting hurt and bouncing his head off the concrete. If the parent can't control the kid's behavior, then it's time for them to leave, and then possibly go somewhere else where that behavior is actually acceptable.

    Quoted from Pinstein:

    What a jerky comment. PHOF is open to the public or they are not. If they want to kick out special needs kids on a case by case basis then they had better be prepared to deal with the negative PR and repercussions of those decisions.

    This was about the kid's behavior and a safety issue for that kid. It had nothing to do with accommodating a special need. The parent had no situational awareness and then doubled down by inserting it into the news.

    Quoted from Pinstein:

    Oh I see, so he's clinically unruly?

    Nobody said that.

    Sometimes a kid's behavior at a certain time in a certain place is fine, sometimes it isn't.

    Playing with a ball in the yard and running around? Perfectly fine. Playing with a ball in the middle of the street? Probably unsafe.

    A kid crying or throwing a fit in a church during mass? Probably a good idea to take him outside until he calms down.
