http://www.addictinginfo.org/2015/03/31/mother-accused-of-child-abuse-for-buying-her-daughter-a-suit-video/A Texas mother has been accused of child abuse by a store clerk after attempting to buy her daughter a suit....
The pair entered Marthas Miniatures in Denison, Grayson County a store filled with exactly the kinds of pink, frilly dresses that Maddie hated. So the five-year-old headed straight for the suits, traditionally worn by boys. On catching sight of this, the store clerk apparently had an extreme reaction....
Gordiano was so incensed by the incident that she went straight home and posted about the experience on Facebook. As the story spread through the community, outraged friends and neighbors fought back by giving the business one-star reviews.
Marthas Miniatures could have responded to the situation by investigating the matter, reprimanding the staff member and reaching out to the family. Instead they took to Facebook to double down on the prejudice, and accuse Jennifer Gordiano of child abuse.
