To the parents at the bus stop...

... who think it's funny to see my special needs child have a meltdown: it hurts my heart so much to see adults who not only have no empathy for their fellow man, but see an upset child as a source of entertainment.
I heard the things you said about my child. I've heard the things you say about the kids in general. You're raising your kids to be the same way as evidenced by what they say as well. You're parents, I'm sure your children have had their struggles. I know there's been a time or two you were in my shoes yesterday morning, as I struggled to get her on the bus, which scares her when she doesn't have her sister, who was home sick. I know you saw the tears in my eyes. But your first instinct was to laugh.
It's bad enough when you have people who gossip about others, judging people who have struggles they know nothing about, but YOU, you lot do it about children!! What kind of horrible person even thinks that way, let alone vocalizes it?
The worst part is it isn't just one person. Seeing your little group of parents acting this way makes me fear for the future, for my kids future. It makes my heart ache.
I see a beautiful, intelligent, wonderful little girl who has more empathy in her little finger than you do between all of you.
You see nothing but another source of gossip, more entertainment to laugh about. Who cares who you're hurting, right?

Oh no, I'm sorry for the way people are. You absolutely 100% never should be laughed at when you are struggling. Especially when it concerns children in general, let alone a child who has different needs.

Instead of helping each other we're hurting each other. I've experienced it too. People are harsh and rudely entitled to the joys/blessings handed to them. Then laugh at those heroes like you that manage through your pain.

It's sick. People are sick.

I'm so sorry. Sending love 🖤🖤🖤

I'm sorry for what you went through, and I'm beyond sad for your child. No child, especially a special needs child should ever have to endure that.

Way too many supposed adults suck, and as you pointed out, they teach their children to become sucky adults.

People who gossip and find humor in hurting other people’s feelings are not human, they are part of a collective hive/the collective. These people are soulless drones.

That’s awful! Some people just don’t care and have no heart. This absolutely infuriates me to no end!
God bless you and your sweet child❤

Pardon my language, but who the fuck laughs at any one with Special needs? How low is your self esteem that you need to laugh at other people? It's like you never want to wish harm on people but can you feel bad if they lost a limb and had to live life as what they mock?

That's appalling, finding amusement in the pain and struggles of others, especially children. It's completely beyond the pale.

I am very sorry you and your daughter have had to deal with this.

I'm so sorry this has been your experience
People can be so unnecessarily cruel to those with special needs. Adults should know betterbut many don't. Sadly their children will see this and think it's ok and it isn't at all .
life is tough enough as it is, but having that experience slapped in your face is horrible. try to seek comfort from friends and family and any friends you've made here in sw...

Sounds like a tough situation but you are doing good. A lot of parents don't give love to their children especially if they have special needs.

A lot of people still have a Spartan mentality- in other words, they hate anything or anyone who they see as "weak". It's disgusting.

They should all hang their heads in shame that is truly pathetic
Some people need a high-5, to the face!
