I am so relieved that this did not happen in Florida…
A Mahopac, N.Y., resident, took her 1 year old son to the aquarium in Norwalk, CT. He got out of the car and stepped in a pile of feces. Mom then filed a claim with the city for reimbursement for a new pair of shoes and reimbursement for the tickets to the aquarium.
“After parking, we exited the garage and my 1-year-old son was walking around the structure outside the door of the garage and stepped in a large pile of fecal matter,” DeBrocky wrote. “I quickly picked him up and brought him to the aquarium and did my best to clean him up.
…
After a long car ride, it was not practical for me to immediately turn around and go back home with a small child. We had to pay for admission to the aquarium and my son had no shoes and it made the entire experience awful.” (source)
The City Attorney apparently has a sense of humor. “The official response is her claim is denied and poop happens.” (source)
