girl help: My table tonight gave their 4 year old half of their bloody mary and she fell as she was leaving the restaurant. - Help.com

My table tonight gave their 4 year old half of their bloody mary and she fell as she was leaving the restaurant.

This is the first time I have seen this. When I first set the drink down, the little girl was going crazy for it and then, as I was still right there taking their order, they gave it to her! I was shocked! I didn’t know what to do. I told the manager, but he said that there wasn’t really anything he could do.

Excuse yourself to the restroom and then use your cell to dial the police.

Exactly. That’s child abuse. They should be reported to Social Services.

I was joking. I don’t drink much, but I don’t know. Some drinks taste all right. But I’d probably go virgin. Was it a virgin drink?

Um… not sure about what tag # means, but if you call the police or CPS, or whatever, and they come to investigate, he’ll have to follow up with it.

I don’t want to guilt you, but you realize that one phone call from you could potentially keep that little girl from being seriously injured or even dying, right?

by tag # I mean the license plate number of the car. I’m not always good at thinking on my feet in bizarre situations.

Did they pay with a credit card? If so the police CAN track these abusive parents down.

It doesn’t take that much alcohol to seriously injure a small child.

Destroys the liver, messes up and destroys the brain, all sorts of things. Very very bad.

I was given small amounts of alcohol as a kid, but not at 4. Half a drink like that can do some damage. I’d report it.

Because their brains and bodies are still developing. And they’re children. You wouldn’t let a four year old smoke or do drugs. (Hopefully.) It’s why there’s children’s medincines.

I delivered the alcoholic drink, the child reached for it right away and cried for it and the parents just gave it to get, sort of in an aggravated way. Like I said before, to shut her up. =(

a childs brain is also still growing and matureing at age 4 so it could give them potintial brian damage by stunting brain growth. They could die from alocohole poisoning because of their high and weight how much.

You’re manager just didn’t want to do their job. You both can/will be fined for serving alcohol to a minor. $15,000 in total. That’s why your manager didn’t want to do anything.

You $5,000
Resturant $10,000

No I’m not joking.

There’s a reason you card people—you should have stopped them and called the police.

Actually, it IS his problem—and yours, too. A restaurant can lose its license for serving alcohol to minors. And you could be held liable for any harm that could come to the child.
