What the ACTUAL fucking FUCK?
Edit: being downvoted because I’m shocked at the way that girl was treated? Seriously?
Video is horrible but statement from PSNI suggests there is more to it.
[“Police were called by the female’s mother to provide assistance in the Bow Street area of Lisburn at 6.15pm on Sunday 22nd December. The shop was closing its shutters when a female entered the premises. Officers attended and after discussions with family and staff members for approximately 20 minutes, a 19-year-old female with complex needs was removed from the shop by a family member, assisted by police. One officer was injured during the course of the incident.](https://www.psni.police.uk/latest-news/police-statement-following-circulation-online-video)

Hopefully people find out the full story this time before jumping straight to “outraged”.
The family member shouting “distressed” and “traumatised” everywhere is doing nobody any favours.
“The till had already been closed for the day”
Some empathy from the shop staff would have resolved this immediately.
The family are being so disingenuous in this
I still think cex could’ve come up with a better name for their company
Shop was closed, family wouldn’t leave, couldn’t control their kid with special needs, made it everyone else’s problem.
Deeply distressed they didn’t get special fucking treatment.
The sister who posted it on Facebook worded it in such a way it seemed like the shop had called the police when it was the mother who phoned them.
Could have been handled a lot better by all sides. Don’t think the shop should have the till closed until door locked after all customers are out.
Something is off on this… Anyone dealing with autism knows they can tell right from wrong.
Might be hard and cause a lot of meltdowns, but most autistic have a good grip on what’s acceptable.
Rather than post online, being told it is not ok for a meltdown or to hit staff/police, we got it wrong and were late to the shop. Every autistic is different and disappointment played a part here but an apology is due.
Corrections already came out. FB post is very disingenuous
Parents brought her into a shop that was clearly closing (shutters half down). They were told they were closed. Refused to leave without a DVD so they (parents) called the police who told them they had to leave. Parents suggested police help them carry the girl out, so the police did.
One officer was also injured
Extremely poor form by her parents who created the entire situation. Don’t bring her into a closing store if you know you can’t reliably get her to leave. Not fair on the girl or the staff
Only the parents to blame
I have a child with autism, and I work with children who have special needs. I totally, totally understand the stress and the pain and how kindness from strangers can sometimes make your day a little easier. However, in this case, I really can’t see that the shop owner has done anything wrong. It was closed, and if he made an exception for this girl’s mother, he would be expected to make an exception for her every time, or for other parents. It was very unfair and cruel to blast them on social media, causing them to be insulted and mocked and surely affecting their livelihood too. What was he supposed to do if the mother or father couldn’t or wouldn’t take her daughter out of the shop?
Yes, a minimum wage employee should work an extra hour because the parents demanded it…
I’ve kids with autism and I see some parents who really push the “I’ve kids with a disability card” often. It’s not good my kids have a disability but it’s my responsibility, not the world’s to deal with them. If they have a meltdown, I have to sort it. Some parents get used to meltdowns by just giving them what they want and taking the easy way, which is a hiding to nothing. I’ve a feeling that the parenting style of this girl is something akin to this.
Its not easy to parent children with disabilities, nor is it to parent a neuro typical children either and always giving them what they want, spoiling them and expecting others to do the same always ends up in a really shitty outcome for both parent, child and the unfortunates who encounter them.
