NYC Mom Fined For Letting 4YO Take An Emergency Wee In The Park: ‘Absolutely Insane’

[Sugar Cookie]

Last Saturday, Michiko Sasaki, 46, and her young son, Kobe, were in Battery Playscape in Battery Park City when the boy suddenly had to go to the restroom.

Sasaki took him to the closest restroom in the park, but it was plastered with a sign reading “No bathrooms.”

She panicked. Kobe has anxiety issues and sensory processing disorder, a fairly common condition that affects how the brain receives and responds to information. It can sometimes cause Kobe to not be aware that he needs the bathroom until the very last minute.

My son was like ‘I really need to go – I’m going to pee my pants,’” Sasaki, a professional dancer and actress who lives in Washington Heights, told The Post. It was “an emergency.”

Desperate, the fast-acting mom shielded her little boy as he pulled down his pants to quickly urinate.

Moments later, five or six parks officers approached Sasaki, and, she said, “hounded” her.

She received a fifty dollars summons. They should have given her a warning not a fine.

If he has these issues than she should use a pull up for him when they are out in public.

A perv in the park could have taken a picture of this boy and plastered it on the web.

I like to poop behind Hobby lobby.

My youngest had to pee on just about every tree he passed when he was in that age group. He constantly had to pee, and the further away from a bathroom we were the more he had to pee. So I understand why this mother did what she did, sometimes no matter what you do, you're wrong.

Putting a diaper (anything that wasn't big boy pants were diapers) on him was impossible unless I hogtied him.

See people of all ages peeing in public. Must be a slow day for the police in NYC

Well at least the police in NYC are taking care of the important things.
