Mother Has Brilliant Response To Woman In Walmart Who Called Her 2-Year-Old Son ‘Repulsive’
What was supposed to be a regular trip to Walmart turned out to be an awful experience for one mother. The woman decided to post her story on Facebook where it went viral and got nearly 70K likes.
Everything started while Dallas Lynn and her two-year-old son Jameus were waiting at the check out. Jameus wanted to hug his mom so – like any mother – Lynn picked up her child for a cuddle, exposing his stomach. This was where things got messy.
Scroll down to read Lynn’s touching story below.

Kudos to the mom who didn’t make a scene but decided to educate the public
Her story reached thousands of people
But most importantly, it proves that Jameus couldn’t wish for a better, more loving mom
What do you think ?

I am not sure whether such a social media story will do the trick; it merely reaches those who are interested anyway, and are not ignorant. What we rather need is moral courage: if anyone of us whitnesses a situation like described by this woman, we ought to intervene and loudly tell the unfriendly person "You are the only one with this opinion. If you do not like the sight, you are free to change line.".

it might not do the trick, but it is part of doing the trick.

'People at Walmart'.... We seen enough pictures to know that some customers have lost all grip on reality and no longer have a general idea about what is acceptable behaviour and what isn't.

So sorry. People can be so cruel. My middle son was diagnosed at age 3 with a brain tumor. He's endured 5 surgeries, including one 15 hour, marathon brain surgery, over 70 weeks of chemotherapy and countless scans and tests. I took him and my older son to a restaurant for Easter dinner. Given all we'd been going through, it was nice to do something not doctor related. My son was on powerful steroids. I've seen first hand how they alter personality, a common side effect. He was grumpy. He was crying and didn't want to sit at the table. Very unusual for him. Soon he stopped fussing and just wanted to lie down. He sat in his chair, leaned over and put his head in my lap. An elderly woman, appearing so sweet walked up to the table and told me I should "beat his a*s." I was so mad but I'm certain she 'll think twice before doing this again. Morale of the story: Be kind, dont judge. You never know what someone else is going through.

Wow...this is actually worse than the story of the post. Inappropriate _and_ unwarranted advise. I guess in your situation it was hard to not have beaten *her* a*s.

Only by talking about stomas and other medical procedures as the normal things they are can we reduce public ignorance.

Hans, you are kind. I might have said "She's just jealous because you got your colonostomy bag first."

I think it is enough to say she has a "repulsing" character. ;)

The height of ignorance is too ignore the suffering of others because of our pretentious sensibilities. I had a person close to me who had a child with a handicap. I was describing it in a Bible study and a woman said that she did not want to hear it. I let her have it good. To believe your stuffy proprieties are more important than education and compassion is 180 degree opposite of the Christian message. Good luck to you and your wonderful child.

My mom has Chrones Disease. She has had a stoma for the entire time I have been alive. This is a normal thing for me. Your son is a beautiful boy. He should be proud of those bags. Those bags mean he odds that a lot of people don't. God bless you all.

I worked for a gastroenterologist for 25 years and saw hundreds of patients with ostomy bags. Most of those people were critically ill with IBD or Crohn's disease. All I could ever think of when I saw one was "thank God someone invented this operative system to create stomas and attach bags to them; otherwise ALL of these patients would have died". This little boy is happy, loving, and obviously enjoying life. It's unthinkable to imagine if this operative procedure hadn't been available to him.
