Full title: Mom says she and 'giggling' son with special needs were asked to leave movie theater for 'disruptive behavior'

---

An Illinois mother was in tears after she was kicked out of a movie theater following complaints that her disabled son was making too much noise.

Jennifer Daly posted on Facebook after taking her two sons to see Dumbo Friday night at AMC Lake in the Hills in a suburb of Chicago.

One of her sons, Jonathan, has a rare form of dwarfism and Daly said it is a struggle to get him out for an excursion...

The mother said that, during the film, her 3-year-old son giggled twice “no longer than 20 seconds each.” But about 10 minutes later, a staff member told her somebody had complained about a crying baby.

“I looked at her and said he did not cry, he giggled twice,” the shocked mother wrote. “I was told I immediately have to pack up to leave.” ...

Special needs Twerp? That is a dear child of God you are talking about

[New Perspective]

Are those folks with human frailties entitled to disrupt your life?

Oh you poor thing. Have some compassion for your fellow human being, it is not that hard.

Bingo! Can’t keep quiet! Ship the “special needs” twerp outside. Maybe he’ll learn to keep quiet in a theater!

Such a sad comment from an adult. I hope that you never find yourself in a situation where you have a stroke or something and are now in that "Special Needs" category. Have some compassion for those who are truly unable to live a normal life.

If you have a kid who cannot keep quiet, you do not inconvenience all the other people for your 1 kid. Watch a movie at home.

Most movies to cinema are loathsome today unless you are an adult who likes cartoons and superheroes

The rest of us are SOL baring a few exceptions

Thank god for Netflix and YouTube and foreign films

It has been decided that my special-needs (partying and drinking) override your son‘s Down Syndrome needs.

So YOU have compassion and stay home and outta my way.

"Some guy was on TV the other day saying he took his two year-old daughter to see Dumbo, expecting the cartoon."

I remember hearing about some woman who took her 5-year-old to see this...

...thinking it was a Christmas Movie.

I took my son to see ET. The crowd exiting the theater as we waited to go in was happy and smiling. We went in and the movie started. When it came to the part where ET dies, my son and I had tears streaming down our faces while a little girl next to us sat there stoically. How on earth could the previous crowd have enjoyed such a horrible ending? LOL

That is a very cool idea.

When I was a kid, the Star theater cost nine cents to watch a movie. What I remember most about the Star was how sticky the floor was where I put my feet. I just thought it was dried soda pop, but now, I HOPE that’s what it was.

Another reason to ring back outdoor drive in theaters.
