Can people stop saying he didn’t see the child, he saw her, but ignored her cause she was interrupting another child’s private birthday.

This happened over a year ago. No lawsuit was filed. As it turns out, the person (teenage boy) under that Chuck E Cheese costume, was also black.

for those who don’t know, there was a private birthday party for a little kid at Chuck E. Cheese. This mother let her daughter just run in there and get Chuck E’s attention. Fortunately, no lawsuit was filed.

Mom trying to make some lawsuit not realizing the rat was black too.

That picture at the end looked like that kid was like, “this is some bs” 😂😂😂

[michaelmeathammer]

It was a private party. They were interrupting. This isn’t about race but really an example of disrespect.

[YumegakaMurakumo]

Nothing to see here. Just another single bitter mother trying to create a lawsuit out of nothing...

Mom zero class. The little kids who actually were there to celebrate their birthdays and had parents who pay crazy money to have parties at Chuck E., I doubt wanted their pics ruined with some strange kid in the photos. Mom get control ofcyour child.

This makes no sense. The mother lets her child interrupt another kid's private birthday party, the mascot ignores her, but takes a picture with her afterwards, and then the mother wants to file a lawsuit for the mascot ignoring her daughter who wasn't even supposed to be there? That's very stupid.

I'm a black woman and this is ridiculous. Chuck E. Cheese didn't take the photo with her because she was interrupting the most important part of a private birthday (not hers!), singing the birthday song. How ridiculous. Not everything is racist.

Imagine filing a case like "I'm suing Chuck E Cheese for ignoring my child"

[hermesgeko]

The mother suing because she sent her kid in there during part of the Birthday show that her kid clearly wasn't part of. 🙄🙄 It must be because he's racist not that her daughter had to wait until the kids with birthdays special time was done. Give me a break. Do better.

[NoOne-gcis]

As a black man I wouldn’t have let my kid interfere with the private party she wasn’t involved in. 🤷🏿‍♂️

[Biden]

That mother definitely raising a child to think every issue she will face is due to her skin color and that is sad.

[KennethRachel-xidv]

She made her and her kid look ridiculous and everyone there has second hand embarrassment. Wow sad

[WAR-DAMN-EAGLE]

*The **_'Lack_** was interrupting a paid-for birthday event paid and being intrusive. Wrangle your kid and wait your turn for the rat...Quit trying to get a hand out any which way possible.*

[byrnegarcia]

It was a private party. Shame on you for allowing your child to interrupt the private party someone paid for. Girl bye with that racist card bs.

[Dazzled]

“Im gonna sue someone because they didn’t give my kid enough attention on another kid’s birthday”

[martinlutherpierce]

Imagine a story entitled " Chuck E Cheese mascot ignores a white child?"

[BosshoggA]

I’m black, but it’s clear this is some other kids time to shine that’s why they’re on stage. Parents paid a pretty penny. Get ya kid out the way. You get a high five in a minute
