I saw something very disturbing to me today a Wal-Mart. A young girl about six years old was complaining to her mother that she needed to go to the bathroom. I was hearing this from the next row over. The mother told the child NO that she was going to have to wait until they got home. The little girl complained that she had to go bad and had to go for a while. The monther after a few more words told her that if she did not shut up she would not get to go when they got home. I was in absolute horror hearing this. They left and I lost track of them in the store. I wondered if she made it or if she made her mother mad and was made to hold it even longer after getting home. I also wondered if this was the first time. Having this happen to me as a child I felt for the little girl and it brought back some old memories. I was wondering if anyone else has ever seen this or had it done to them.

Scarier thought---the mom was probably a teacher. The schools in this area (after kindergarten) only let a child use the bathroom when they feel it is necessary. Even if the child has diarrhea. I found out the hard way this is standard procedure for most elementary schools, and unless you have a doctor's note, the children are only allowed to use the bathroom twice a day. Because of the frequency of accidents the nurses keep clothes on hand for students.

Wow, I have never heard anything like this before. I can understand why the mom didn't want her child to use the walmart bathroom, but threaten to deny her the right to go to the bathroom when they got home is just totally sick. I probably would have reported it, but I wouldn't know who to tell. Read the "Boy called It" it is a very sad book about child abuse. It make you want to kill the people that do that to their children.

I've never seen or heard of it. It sounds very wrong. The child should go when they need to go otherwise they might wet themselves. That woman should be reported to family services.

I've never overheard it myself, but sound like mom is nuts! It is abuse to deny your child bathroom privileges...leaves me wondering what I would do if I overheard such things. Like, Who would I even report this to if I had a chance????

She does not deserve to be a mother.
