Story on facebook, not your typical STDH but something about this feels really wrong

http://foxct.com/2014/12/02/santa-and-elf-fired-after-turning-away-autistic-girl-with-pit-bull-service-dog/

quote:

A little girl was turned away while trying to visit a Christmas display at The Shops at Mission Viejo because she had a pit bull with her as a service dog. Abcde Santos–pronounced “Ab-suh-Dee”–was with her family and Pupcake, who she has had with her since 2009, when, according to a Facebook page dedicated to Pupcake the Service Dog, Santa refused to take a picture wit her because “those dogs eat people.”

The Facebook page says that Abcde’s mom offered to take Pupcake out of the mall completely and even asked if Santa would just smile and wave at Abcde, but Santa said “No because they support those dogs.” The family explained the laws regarding service dogs, at which point they say Santa suddenly said he was allergic.

The page further states that Abcde was going to ask Santa what he wanted for Christmas so that she could make it for him.

On Pupcake’s Facebook page’s “about me” section it describes the journey the two have taken together. According to the page, which is written from Pupcake’s point of view, doctors told her family she wouldn’t be able to bond or make emotional connections. After Pupcake joined the family the two became best friends. “There is no Abcde without pup, they were born the moment they met,” the page says Mr. Santos said.

What kind of a name is "Abcde" !? That's not a name that's the start of the alphabet. Makes me really question her parents' judgement.

Maybe I'm a terrible person for doubting this poor autistic girl, but I feel like everybody's just eating the story up as a result and nobody's giving it any scrutiny.

I just can't see a scenario where a mall Santa is saying "Sorry m'am but I can't wave to your daughter, she supports THOSE dogs"
Also this family is clearly nuts about their dog, it has its own facebook page written from the dog's point of view.
What do you want to bet the parents are just really passionate about Pit Bulls and got in a fight with Mall Santa and then made the rest up?

Maybe there really is this guy who signed up to be a mall santa but really hates Pit Bulls and Pit Bull owners, I don't know. The whole story just seems crazy.

What kind of a name is "Abcde"

"Abcde" is a name for a pet given by a small child that has no concept of naming. FWIW, it's a pretty cute name.

Oh no oh god it's all true!
When I was in my Freshman year of high school, i went to a party at a friends house. It wasn't a high school party, in the typical sense. It was very tame, a bunch of kids eating chips and swimming in a pool. But as with all things innocent there are those dissenters among the crowd who insist on their fun.

I would say I was one of them.

It all started when the hostess of the innocent gathering brought out some blue alcoholic mixture she had pilfered from her parents. Suddenly you saw the gleam in this group of girls eyes. In that moment I was starting into the eyes of the future alcoholics of America.

Like a child on the breast they sucked it all dry, leaving most of us sober. So as I am looking around at this group of jits, I pick the one who looks most unsavory (in all reality the girls was pretty innocent in public) but I knew she would be the one. Lets call her Nicole. 

I asked her if she knew where we could get more alcohol and she said yes. Nicole calls her dude and arranges to meet in the parking lot of a local church. I immediately get a bad feeling about this whole thing, and being as Nicole is a rather petite person, I decided to go with her. Lets just say I'm not easy to kidnap. 

When we walk up the first thing I see is the fact that this dude drives a black pick up truck, full of pool cleaning equipment. OK, that's not so creepy, maybe he is like some type of male pool servant who wears his speedo for rich stay at home moms to ogle him while he maintains their cement ponds.
I mean, who should I expect. Well, I expected some one in there lower 20's, probably some type of collegiate. Who else would this girl know who would buy her alcohol at her whim? Apparently 35 year old Black men do. Good thing I came, other wise Nicole was looking like she'd be washing up in a swamp somewhere.

As we get in the truck with him all I can think of is what my mother told me when I was a little girl. “don't get in the car with strangers”

The guy drives us down to the liquor store and goes in with the 25 dollars we had gotten from the hostess to fund our excursion. During the literal half hour it took him to buy the vodka, I sat with Nicole informing her of what a terrible decision it was for both of us to go with this man. I told her exactly what he could have done to her had I not come with her, and by the time he gets back I have Nicole about ready to piss herself. And god dang it she needed to be.

We eventually have him drop us back off at the church and make our way back to the party. I then made a hasty retreat out the back door, bottle in bag, and then find my way home. Yes, I stole her vodka. Yes, It was delicious.

The Mommy’s Curse
Middle School | OH, USA | Bad Behavior, Language & Words, Parents

(I am in a conference with a parent of a seventh grade boy. He is very smart in math but has the bad habit of ‘going off': loud cursing and using the N-word in reference to himself and classmates. Detention helped some, but I didn’t want to give him any more detentions because then he would get suspended. Note: the student is with the mom during the conference.)

Me: “[Student] is very smart; he is one of my best students and certainly the top math student in seventh grade. He really seems to enjoy the class and always participates. However, sometimes when he gets a bit upset at his classmates disrupting the class, he starts shouting and cursing, including using lots of racial slurs. He responds well to my direction to stop usually but I’m afraid it has become habitual. [Student] has such potential for his future and it is important for him to know this is not appropriate in a school or work environment. Will you work with him about this at home?”

Mom: “I’ll work with this little n**** right now!” *smacks her son on the back of the head* “DON’T YOU EVER use that godd*** language in this f****** school, you dumb motherf****er! S***, I didn’t take off work to hear about your black a** acting the fool! You told me you were doing good in math! Lying-a** n****!”

Me: “…”

Mom: “I’m so godd*** mad right now! This little n***** has worked my last nerve! I don’t know where he gets this from. Nobody in my f******* family even curses!”
