How many 5 year olds know the word “diarrhea?”
A couple of things hit me when I read this.
First was the trauma caused the child - not of the accident about to happen but the hysteria of the mother. Sure it’s a terrible event but mom made it seem worse without proper planning.
A five year old or any young child can have an accident.
Why not check out bathroom facilities where you visit a restaurant or store in the future to avoid a recurrence? Having an accident plus mom’s fighting made a terrible time for the little one to
experience.
Always carry extra necessaries for illness or accidents when you take a little one out.
The establishment were within their legal rights to refuse use of their faciliities - even to a little child in trouble - but if mom had been aware of this before frequenting the place - she would have at least been more prepared.
Having written that I think they are cruel and hostile people - and I hope mom never returns to that place.
There are many restaurants who cater to little people and they are fully prepared with washrooms to save accidents and moms from having meltdowns.
Visit them often and thank them for their understanding.
This one probably knows ‘subpoena,’ ‘mental anguish’ and a few other choice words and phrases as well. lol
