for putting super glue onto the seat of a DISABLED toilet??!

Read the story earlier, apparently the two teens are aged 16-18, and some poor 4yo girl went in after them and had the skin ripped from the back of her legs!
No doubt these two little twats will get a lecture and a wrist slap.

Fgs! For all we know the mum had a disability, maybe it was a bit of an emergency (we've all been there with our children), who knows - who cares!
Only someone lacking in human empathy would actually victim blame and try and turn this story into some king of disablism. Yes you sooty.

I also think it should be treated as a hate crimeAngry.

I am sure this happened to me in a club. There were always lots of people hanging around in the loos and one particular day two girls who we had never seen before were there and were doing the giggling thing when I went it.

I didn't stick to the seat but did feel something odd and my tights melted into my skin

Reading it is seems that it was in McDonalds and it was the disabled toilet with baby changing facilities.

It could have been that it was the only toilet.

Thank goodness no one used the baby change facilities as it says there was glue all over.

It is the kind of assault that makes your eyes water in sympathy and sends a shiver down your spine. I really hope they catch the perpetrators and charge them.

cdtaylornats · 04/01/2016 22:08

Toilets labelled as for the disabled are not exclusively for their use - they merely have priority

WhyCantIuseTheNameIWant · 04/01/2016 22:08

That's just sick!

How on earth (and why) do people even think of doing stuff like that?

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 04/01/2016 22:08

Ilovesooty. Even if the disabled toilet was locked, what was to stop these nasty pair of shits from doing it to the other toilets?

velourvoyageur · 04/01/2016 22:09

what the fuck?
how do you even THINK of an idea like that. What could it possibly bring anyone??
one of the sickest things I've ever read.
OP do you have a link btw?

MrsJorahMormont · 04/01/2016 22:09

They should be charged. That's not youthful high jinks, it's malicious. I can't bear the thought of a child being ripped screaming from a toilet seat leaving half their skin behind. Neither can I bear the thought of that happening to ANYONE, disabled or otherwise.

Rivercam · 04/01/2016 22:09

putting glue on any toilet is despicable, whether it was disabled or not.

ilovesooty · 04/01/2016 22:09

And if course an invisible disability is as valid as a visible one.

I'm wondering if there would have been less scope for this appalling action and resultant injury if the toilet had been radar key accessible.
And of course I hope that the perpetrators are caught and appropriately punished and the little girl makes as good a recovery as possible.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 04/01/2016 22:09

Just googled the story. A prank they're calling it. A prank. A fucking prank. More like act of evil. !!!!!!

RiverTam · 04/01/2016 22:10

Sooty you are sounding dangerously close to implying that if this little girl wasn't disablled she deserved to have this happen to her.

RickRoll · 04/01/2016 22:10

I suspect the injuries are exaggerated, it seems a bit of a local media sadface story to me. But who knows

It's an accessible toilet, not a "disabled toilet".

Charge them with whatever crime they have committed. Leave the hysteria out of it.

And on the lines of hidden disability...

My 2 year old is disabled. But because she can walk into a toilet, we often get "looks"

velourvoyageur · 04/01/2016 22:11

x-posted with lots of others, sorry

ilovesooty · 04/01/2016 22:12

Oh goodness. If it had happened to the baby changing facilities that would have been even worse.

PiperIsTerrysChoclateOrange · 04/01/2016 22:12

Radar keys are a bug bear of mine.

When ds has to go, he really needs to go and I haven't got time to be digging into my bag to find a key.

RJnomore1 · 04/01/2016 22:12

It's not a disabled toilet anyway it's an accessible toilet.

I think there was a similar story last week - it was the handle of a shopping trolley beside the child seat. The child had to have its hands peeled off the trolley Angry
