People still go to movies? I just download everything, this way I get to miss out on kids screaming in a movie they probably shouldn't be seeing, people having sex behind me and keep kicking my chair, and that sticky stuff that's all over the floors that leaves you wondering "is it coke or vitamin DNA"

Too all you people saying " people with down syndrome don't belong in movie theaters", I hope your kid gets down syndrome, and then when you try to take them to a basic form of entertainment that you think they might enjoy a lot, some punk kid comes up to you and tells you and your child to **** off. If the guy was enjoying the movie, leave him be.

#5 you're a ******* MORON. He had DOWN'S SYNDROME. That's not something you can ******* CONTROL. No amount of "teaching" will fix how he acts, because it's a mental impairment. They don't REALIZE that what they're doing is socially unacceptable because their level of thinking isn't on the "normal" plane, hence why it's a ******* DISEASE, idiot. My best friend's brother has down's syndrome, he doesn't have it because he "****** up" he has it because his GENE POOL is ****** up. You're an insensitive asshole who obviously knows nothing about this disease. Grow the **** up before you start insulting people with mental diseases over which they have no control, you ******* piece of shit.

Even if he wasn't mentally handicapped YDI for being a prick. You ask politely first. #33 has it exactly right. Treat the people around you with some kindness. It makes the world a better place.

Exactly 35! Just because someone has Down Syndrome doesn't mean they should have to stay home in a bubble all day so they don't disturb anyone else in the world. You should have asked him nicely or got a theater attendant to talk to him. As some one that works with children with Down Syndrome you can usually just explain to them that what they are doing is disruptive because it's very likely that he had no idea he was doing anything wrong. For the most part children with Down Syndrome aim to please, they want to be well liked, so they generally will listen to what you are saying and accommodate even if you are a complete stranger.

thank you # 36. thats really what i wanted to say.

God are you people ******* stupid? You will always find a way to blame the OP for something. How are they suppose to know the ****** had DS?? Grow up and think logically, if someone did that to you and you had enough you would tell them to knock it the **** off as well. SO Shut up its not there fault, you cant blame them for something they didnt know. What do you want them to do, go up to someone annoying them and say "Hi, you seem to be annoying me, do you have some type of mentally impairment?" idiots

try not to worry, you didnt realise he had a disorder. but maybe just try a bit more politely? and all of you assholes, he is as much a human being as anyone else in the world. he has every right to go to the movies as anyone else does. and people who do have these disorders can sometimes take care of themselves. the school i go to also has a special provisions class, which makes it easier for the kids who have disorders, and most of them are so much nicer than some of the other girls i know. so just **** off, and leave people who are 'different' alone.

Completely agreed 38. Kids with Downs are very lovable, they love to make people smile. Just like my best friend's brother. He always hugs me when he sees me and tries to make me laugh. Having a disease shouldn't make you a burden on society, it's not like you popped out of the womb and said hey God, i'm not happy being normal, can I get a 23rd chromosome, please?

To all the people saying the boy is a drain on society, that is majorly ****** up. He can not control the way he was born. He paid to see that movie and has every right to be there. The real problem here is that he should have a guardian there to help him realize how you watch movies in public is not how you can watch them at home (reacting to the screen such as clapping, etc). Next time just be more polite about it... if the kid hadn't had DS it probably would have ended in some argument rather than some crying. At lease you had the decency to feel bad about it afterwards unlike some of the other insensitive assholes on here.
