Burger King kicks out mother and barefoot baby - Page 2

post #21 of 27
Unfortunately that doesn't surprise me. Just over 2 years ago, my then 1yo ds, my dd and I were in the mall because it was one of those 100+ degree days walking around. My ds was shoe-less in the stroller because he kept kicking his soft soled shoes off and I put them in the basket. Someone alerted Security and I was approached by Security and informed that if his feet were not immediately covered that we would have to leave the mall. We weren't in a store and we weren't near the food court -- just in the halls of the mall walking around on a hot day. The Security officer did tell me that someone had complained which is why she came over to me.

There is a play area in the mall where children are not allowed to wear shoes or socks but I won't let my kids play there with their feet uncovered since a friend's child got a foot fungus. (Actually, we don't go there at all.)

These are probably the same people who say I should have had a hat on my baby's head on a 100 degree day when he was 5 days old.

Wow, what kind of a *UAV* do you have to be to complain about a 1 yr. old not wearing shoes - and in a stroller at that!

You just have to feel sorry for people like that. How sad their lives must be. I guess they need something to keep them going. I mean, my lil guy is now 3yo and they have no legal standing when I NIP, do they?

It's particularly odd in light of the fact that I rarely use a stroller since I usually carry him on my back in a wrap, in which case he'd probably just be wearing a onesie and a diaper, but my back was hurting that day, so I used the stroller.

I could not keep shoes on my DS when he was that age. Who the heck cares if they are not running around. People can be so dumb.

I'm thinking that I really, really wish someone would have called the police on me for having my NOT-YET-WALKING infant in a public place without shoes on.

Oh yes, please, call the police. They certainly have nothing better to do, what with the crime rates lowering so rapidly across the country. I'll be glad to also call the newspapers and the rest of the media. Please, pretty please with a cherry on top, call the cops.
