Did somebody say McDonald's? Yep, a 4-year-old New York City boy, but his dad David Schorr said nope. Now Schorr, embroiled in a child custody case, is suing a court-appointed psychiatrist for defamation for deeming him "wholly incapable of taking care of his son" after he refused to let his kid eat dinner at McDonald’s.
"You’d think it was sexual molestation," Schorr, an attorney-turned-consultant, tells the New York Post. "I am just floored by it."
The trouble began last week, the Post explained Thursday, when Schorr was scheduled to take his son to their usual neighborhood restaurant for their weekly Tuesday-night visit. But that night the child dug in his heels about wanting to go to McDonald's instead. Schorr, who felt the boy had been eating too much junk food lately, refused, saying he could eat anywhere else but the fast-food joint — or have no dinner at all.
"The child, stubborn as a mule, chose the 'no dinner' option," Schorr says in the suit, according to the Post. "It was just a standoff. I’m kicking myself mightily. I wish I had taken him to McDonald's, but you get nervous about rewarding bad behavior. I was concerned. I think it was a 1950s equivalent of sending your child to bed without dinner. That's maybe the worst thing you can say about it."
When the boy went home hungry to mom Bari Yunis Schorr, a vice president at Rue La La, he reported the incident and went to McDonald’s with her. Then she contacted the psychiatrist, Marilyn Schiller, setting the forensic investigation in motion. Schiller, according to the Associated Press, told a judge the incident "raises concerns about the viability" of the father's weekend visits with his son and suggested they be limited or eliminated entirely.

How could they let a father who didn’t take his child to McDonald’s even see his kids?
Perhaps a better case of child abuse or endangerment could be made if a parent said yes and actually allowed her child to eat such “ food?” (Let’s ask moo Chelle. ?)
Wow, my mom and dad wouldn’t even be eligible for parole yet if these idiots ran things back then and I’m closing in on fifty...
Malignant ex-wife at work here.
he needs to say he’s gay and everything will be fine

WTF is “vice president at Rue La La”
Strip club?
Porn studio?
Cajun restaurant?
Who'd believe such a stupid notion? Why, psychiatrists, of course.
Look at some of the 250 pound diabetic 13 year-olds who practically live on junk food and ask which parent is “abusive”
or all of the above?
lol
This is what happens when female man-haters gang up against fathers. That boy stands little chance of growing up to be a normal man if those harpies are in charge.
However, there is a very good chance of him murdering his mother when he’s a rebellious teen, and she finally says “no” to him.
It’s a members only clothing/accessories store/site. A play on “Ooh, la la!”
You gotta be kidding! McDonald’s is considered haute cuisine in the 0bama family.
Maybe Scooby-Doo is the president.
Malignant ex-wife + man-hating harpy psychiatrist.
Unless there’s a whole lot more to the story.
gee. i thought she was demanding that they change their menu and add all sorts of wonderful new broccoli and eggplant Kids’ Meals?
you know, to force kids to meet Michelle’s image for “healthy” little rugrats?
(We hear that O is issuing another “exec order”... this one to assign enforcement of Michelle’s mandatory “healthy” food intake standards to the IRS...?) you know, to make sure the kids eat what she says they must eat...
Divorce courts and child “protective” services agencies are two strong reasons why American men are increasingly saying no to marriage or even common law relationships.
NYC Lieberals-—nothing worse than that on the scale.
Isn’t it the truth! I stopped taking my kids to McDonalds. Of course their father is in agreement. That stuff is nasty and full of fillers and other junk to complicated to list. Mom should be run out of town on a rail and the head doctor with her. Going without dinner was better for him than eating McDonalds.
