"...uses her child's disability as a crutch for her parenting inadequacies."

Wow. This story is unbelievable. Seriously. It is the comment at the bottom that truly is unbelievable, i.e.: "If you were a good parent you would know that having a screaming child in a public restaurant, where people PAY to have a nice meal in a NICE ATMOSPHERE, is absolutely inexcusable. I personally find it disgusting that this woman uses her child's disability as a crutch for her parenting inadequacies."
So, a mother takes her autistic child into a restaurant and then gets kicked out, by the Chef of Police, no less. "Gail says Chief Rushton yelled across the restaurant again. "He said, ‘You need to pick her up and you need to get out of here now,'" Gail said. "
Let me get this straight. A grown man is upset by a four year old autistic child, so he yells across the restaurant.... The Chef of Police is disturbing the restaurant by yelling across and that is ok, evidently, but the four year old's yelling is not ok. I am so glad to know that grown ups can throw temper tantrums and children are not allowed, regardless of the fact that the child is Autistic. And this restaurant is called Buckhead Café in Jackson, SC.... Never having been there, I can't really judge. But my guess is, with the Cafe in the name, it isn't a 5 star restaurant. Next, we will be kicking kids out of McDonald's because people are paying to have nice meal. This one just kind of made me sick to my stomach....
