You might want to pay attention to recent trends in state law. Some states have or are in the process of passing legislation that requires businesses to allow citizens to use their private restrooms in bathroom emergencies.

I don't know anything about this particular child's health or history but there are thousands of people, including children, who suffer from various bowel disorders such as Crohn's disease, colitis, proctitis, IBS...and having access to a restroom is imperative.

Of course, crapping all over an inhospitable business owner's floor isn't such a terrible thing...from my perspective but it's probably not too pleasant for the one with tummy troubles. LOL

I don't know what the trends in state laws are but I do know that in many public places a public restroom is hard to find. I don't imagine any of these disorders are new to the human race. Ill or not people have to take responsibility for themselves.

I also noticed that in the article linked in post #27 it said there were "at least a dozen" public bathrooms available in the vicinity. That sounds like an exaggeration so it seems like we have competing exaggerations here to me. But there must have been others if not fully 12 of them.

I also thought it was interesting that the store owner has been receiving death threats and harassing calls over this. The entitlement mentality in this world is going way over the top IMO.
