2-year-old boy ate used condom at McD's

[sabretooth]

(Reuters) - McDonald's Corp has been sued by a woman who said her two-year-old son ate a used condom he found in the play area of one of its restaurants in Chicago.
Anishi Spencer filed the complaint against the fast-food restaurant chain on Wednesday in Cook County Circuit Court on behalf of herself and her sons, Jonathan Hines and Jacquel Hines.
According to the complaint, Spencer and her sons were at a McDonald's restaurant in Chicago's South Side on February 4, 2012 when Jacquel picked up the used condom from the floor, and shortly thereafter coughed up a piece of it.
Both boys required medical care, and have suffered lasting injuries, pain and discomfort, the complaint said.
Spencer accused McDonald's of negligence for failing to clean hazardous debris from the play area, and failing to use appropriate security measures to help uncover "deviant activities." The lawsuit seeks at least $50,000 of damages.
"This is a very disgusting case," Jeffrey Deutschman, a lawyer for Spencer and her sons at Deutschman & Associates in Chicago, said in a phone interview.
He said he tried to settle, but was unable to do so after having to deal with "layers and layers" of bureaucracy at McDonald's, which is based in Oak Brook, Illinois.
McDonald's spokeswomen did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Jonathan is now 4 and Jacquel is now 3.
The case is Hines et al v. McDonald's Restaurants of Illinois Inc et al, Cook County Circuit Court, No. 2013L002625.

Dammit, Ghidor----wait....

[Perd]

Well, at least he got the worst thing that will ever happen to him in his life out of the way early.

[MGH]

This is officially the most vile thing that I've ever read on this forum.

I am honestly glad I read this. I had McD's for lunch and from the title thought it was in the food and started to want to throw up.

[Slapcrunk]

I thought a parent would want to withhold their child's identity, especially with something like this.

Is it wrong that I laughed?

This. I couldn't even begin reading the story just the headline alone. How does a 2 year old not choke to death or anyone for the matter. It's not like be can chew it. I'm about to vomit I'm going to stop

Sorry for stepping in to your gimmick, Gidorah!

Well, first things first, don't let you kids just stuff any damn thing into their mouths.

Secondly, WTF McDonalds? I get that cleaning up a play place probably isn't that easy but you can't miss something like that. A old gum wrapper - that's annoying and a bit gross but mostly harmless. A used condom......WTF?

Third, who the hell f***s in a McDonalds of all places. Class it up and go to an Applebee's, Red Lobster or something!

Finally, why did the boy who had nothing happen to him require medical care? I fell bad for the family, especially the unfortunate boy, but something about that bit screams "trying to get more money!" to me.

Second kid probably got examined to make sure he ate nothing and didn't get any diseases from playing in the same area.

Are these types of threads allowed on here?

Still doesn't crack the Top 5 worst things you could eat at McDonalds.

Who would f*** on a McDonald in the first place??

[SsnakeBite, the No1 Frenchman]

Well it's probably healthier than the food.

And wait, one kid allegedly ate the condom and the two needed medical attentions?! Oh God YOU ACTUALLY ATE THE FOOD, DIDN'T YOU?!

Yeah but the article states they both actually suffered injuries and pains... because one of them ate it... that doesn't sound likely. Definitely something McD could question.

He's not lovin' it.
