'The anger has subsided, and I'm left with sadness for my son and his future struggles of being in public.'
"The anger has subsided, and I'm left with sadness for my son and his future struggles of being in public."The hardest thing about being a parent to a child with special needs isn’t necessarily what you have to do for your child, but rather the things other people do that are completely out of your hands. Amanda Jean Braun found herself in this situation while out to eat with her family at Outback Steakhouse in Glen Burnie, Maryland.
A few minutes after their food arrived, the manager came over to the table to see how their meals were. But it became very clear that there was an ulterior motive to his visit. Essentially, another diner had put in a noise complaint about the little boy, and although the manager explained he was “very uncomfortable” by the situation, he asked them to finish their meals and leave. Clearly missing the mark, he offered the family a $20 credit to the restaurant to use at a later date.
Since sharing her story on Facebook, Braun says she is on a mission to get in touch with corporate. “This is not ok and I’m not stopping here,” she insists. She’s urging others to share her story so that Outback is held accountable for the insensitive way they handled this situation. “Outback labels itself as a family-friendly restaurant, just not families with special needs,” the frustrated mom writes.
