[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would a six-year-old girl who had been kicked in the back badly at the bottom of the slide, and then started crying, expect anyone to say anything about it?[/quote]

It was the grownups who wanted the rightful order restored - mom was naive to think that they wanted to know her child had autism. What they wanted to see was the child punished, and likely never brought into public. [/quote]

Why would any kid that is physically injured by another, even your child if someone runs up and hits them in the face, expect anything in acknowledgement? Parents can just tend to their own and let the chips fall where they may otherwise.[/quote]

In a normal situation where there’s an “accident” like a 10 yo going down the slide on top of a 6 yo and ramming her, there would be apologies and remorse by the big kid and parents.

In this situation, the negligent mother or a sitter should have been with the autistic kid each time, communicating when it was safe to go down the slide. Safe for him, safe for others. As we all know with Nd kids, barking out orders or doing it together once or twice and then disappearing may not work or stick.

The mother should have apologized for not monitoring her disabled child. They are in a pool, there are children, depending on the place, lifeguards may or may not be around. Other parents are not assuming a 10 yo is there who doesn’t understand basic safety rules.

The mom should have apologized. No need to mention autism. She messed up big time not being with a kid with that level of autism at a water park or pool slide. [/quote]
