You'd think with a quote like that from a news story, about cops being called to a place of business that there was a mugging, or even perhaps a shooting spree.
Well, that's what I'd consider a disturbing crime scene in a restaurant, at least.
It's not what 22 year old Jessica Smith feels is a crime scene. According to her, having her 2 year old son grabbing a white russian drink placed in the middle of the table, while his parents were distracted, is a crime of the restaurant serving alcohol to a minor.
(BTW, the boy did spit up the booze, as soon as he got a taste of it.)
Not only was she making a scene while this happened, telling the restaurant that a simple apology was not enough - she called the effing cops in for this.
As long as the waiter didn't place the fucking drink right in front of her kid, with the clear implication that he meant for the child to drink it, I cannot see how anyone with a working brain can believe that the restaurant is at fault for little sunshine's first taste of booze. And frankly, to call the fucking cops for what was a harmless accident is so far beyond reasonable as to be in complete fruit bat territory. (And I apologize to any megachiropteran readers for tarring them with the dumbfuck craziness that is this woman.)
Toddlers want what you're having. If you're going to be drinking booze that means you have a responsibility to control that drink so that your toddler cannot get ahold of it while you're distracted. It's not the job of everyone around you to protect your child 24/7.
And finally, while letting your 2 yo get drunk isn't a good idea, a little booze isn't going to kill him or her. Especially if he spit out the majority of his mouthful when he didn't like the taste!
BTW, having the cop spokesperson giving that BS double talk at the end of the article pisses me off, too:I'm so fucking glad that the Boston PD is so bored that they have time to keep looking into this incident to see whether any potential offenses may have occurred. What the fuck is wrong with saying, simply, "In our judgment, there was no wrongdoing." Enough with the fucking weasel wording about stupid shit. :Shake::Shake::Shake:“The preliminary investigation does not show any wrongdoing by the establishment,” Zanoli said. “We will look into any potential violations. If any are found, a licensed premise violation may be issued at a later date.”
