I work in a clothing/home decor store situated within a large garden centre.
Includes violence and mental disability. It's witnessed, taking part in the garden centre.
A severely autistic (possibly) child of about 11 was being goaded by his mother and her friends/sisters/whoever. They were telling him to shut up, yanking him all directions, trying to get him to behave himself, but only agitating him further. They got to the tills. The child lashed out and started hitting his mother.
The asst. manager of the garden centre came rushing over to er 'help'. He just went up to the kid, all guns blazing and said, "Stop, why are you doing this? Why are you hitting your mum and making her cry?" So the kid turned on the spot and whacked him hard across the chest.
4 other staff members came rushing over and managed to get the situation under control in a flash, but asst. manager, while trying to be the hero, did completely the wrong thing and left the scene red-faced.
So it was sucky, WTFy AND management suck all rolled into one. I feel for that kid
I do hope he's okay.
