Shocking

I left the airline a while ago and now work for an Australian government department that 'HELPS CHILDREN"....... Last year there was a child in the office who is well known to staff and has several disabilities. He didn't want to leave the office as he doesn't particularly like where he resides. He was not a danger to himself or to others. He just didn't want to leave the office, he wanted to keep chatting to all the pretty ladies who were being nice to him. BUT it was 6pm, and someone in charge wanted to get home and have dinner, didn't want to stuff around and cajole him into do what they wanted him to do - which was leave. That person threatened him, telling the boy they would call the police if he didn't go where they wanted him to go immediately. He ignored the threat, being 10 so not unusual. The police were called. They held him by his legs and shoulders in a downwards facing plank position. The boy screamed and begged to be saved and helped. He was not released for several minutes and was carted through the office and down an elevator into a basement in this position. It was very ironic and disturbing watching this happen in an office which is tasked with "helping children". Anyway, obviously a sidetrack from the thread. Sometimes police get made to do **** they probably don't want to do.
