Today, a kid with severe Down's came into my workplace, as he does every day. He's has an obsession with me, sitting at a table, staring and taking photos of me all day. His parents have no problem with this, because they think it's a miracle that he can focus so much attention on me for so long. FML

Not necessarily a fml situation. At least you are inspiring someone and bringing joy to a whole family unit ;D

Oh my, I'd have asked my manager to do something about it a long time ago, or else found myself a new job. The parents should raise this child like any other, so not correcting him because he has down syndrome is just bad parenting. Yes, having a child with Down Syndrome is hard, but that doesn't mean that the rest of the world has to bend around it. If any other customer would have done this, someone would have called the police a long time ago. But isn't letting him because he has this handicap just as much discrimination. Tell the parents that you want this to stop, and that you are going to the police to report him stalking you. THAT is treating someone equal to others, not only the 'fun' things, but also the bad.

to everyone saying "lol it's helping someone else, you stuck-up bitch!"... what if it were someone without a disability coming in and taking pictures of her while she's working? yeah, it'd make that dude happy, too, so should she laugh it off in that scenario? 47 had it dead-on. even if this kid is unaware how creepy his actions are, his parents need to show him that this is not okay, disability or not.

I think the irritant here is you. Also, for the sake of those around you, learn to spell and use grammar!

Down's syndrome is not a free pass to get away with unacceptable behavior. It is especially not a free pass to allow them (or their families) to force complete strangers to tolerate inappropriate behavior. People with Down's Syndrome are not infants and they deserve better than to be treated like unteachable idiots. I for one am sick of seeing the inappropriate disturbing things that some of them do - not because they are prone to poor behavior but because the people that are supposed to take care of them don't have the faintest idea how to nurture and educate them properly.

64 - Are you sure you don't have a touch of a mental disability yourself? Just by reading your comment and observing your grammar and language you don't seem like you are all that bright either. The OP does not need to be put in a position where she feels uncomfortable just because it makes this kid happy to watch her all the time. (By the way I know I asked if you have a mental disability instead of a chromosomal disorder, but I think mental disability suits you better than what your cousin or this kid has).

well 131, if u can just get past her mispelling, and read what she's is saying, which I know alot of people here have trouble with, you will see that she obviously has a heart and feels a strong desire to protect those who can't do so for themselves! do you have a humanitarian deficiencie?

So as long as I don't slap you, I can do anything to you? Oh no, not me, because I am not disabled. Well: welcome to the world of discrimination

It's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice. I'm sure the kid means no harm. Look at it from a different angle and you'll see the beauty in it.
