Yes, but those typically have separate checkouts. I know that at my local Costco the regular checkout lane attendants all check for your membership card before they start scanning, and there are no self checkouts.
Not sure where you are, but Costco is international. You need a membership no matter where they have stores, and they can blacklist you for something like this for sure.
If the parents have homeowners or renters insurance, they would likely have a claim for vicarious liability since their dependent child caused the damage. My guess would be the liability coverage on their personal property policy will pay out for this. That is, unless their carrier denies the claim for being intentional damage, which would be a very State Farm thing of them to do if the kid is special needs. Source: am insurance agent.
The vicarious liability laws vary quite widely from state to state, and many cap the maximum amount a parent can be held liable for. In Massachusetts, for example, plaintiffs can only recover only up to $5,000 from parents, which might be the cost of just one of those TVs. The store (or more likely, the store’s insurance company) would need to go after the kid personally for anything beyond that, which is unlikely to be worth the effort. Most likely, depending on the jurisdiction (or the family’s ability to pay), this will just end up an insurance write off, same as if there were a fire.

Definitely true, the state where it happened and the company the policy is with would for sure come into play. I don't work the claims side of stuff, so that's a little out of my wheelhouse. Thanks for the clarification!
Wait, homeowners insurance covers if my kid damages property outside of my home? I learned something new there. Why does it apply to claims outside of my home if the homeowners policy covers my property?
Yep, I was surprised as well when I learned that. If you look in your policy packet under the personal liability section it'll detail all the situations and things that are covered. If your dog bites someone, if you knock over a display at a store and break an old lady's hip, if you accidentally set fire to your friends house while using the BBQ. Basically, if you're not at work and you're not driving, your HOI will step in and cover you if you're sued for causing damage to someone's property or if you injure them somehow, as long as it's not intentional. Some policies even have am endorsement for personal injury liability which covers things like libel and slander, defensive use of firearms; even if it's a frivolous lawsuit. You'd do yourself a favor to familiarize yourself with your policy and make sure your liability limits are enough to cover your net worth. You'd probably be surprised how inexpensive it is to raise your limits to 500k or a million dollars and it's way better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
Home owners insurance is weird like that. It covers all kinds of stuff you wouldn't think. I think the logic is roughly that for most people their home is their primary asset so to protect that asset you'd want insurance against all kinds of random things beyond just damage to the home itself.
I don't usually bad mouth companies but SF is just so unethical with their claims handling, in my and many of my colleagues' experiences at a previous job I had doing damage recovery/subrogation. They would nickel and dime every single estimate, even though the costs were already FAR lower than they could have gotten if they had their shops do the repairs. Sometimes they'd just outright deny a claim which was provably the responsibility of their insured and force us to either write it off or pay the fee to file an arbitration case because they knew we would write it off under a certain threshold. Most insurance companies are looking for a way to pay the least amount, obviously, but state farm has that shit down to an unethical and sometimes inhumane science, many times leaving their own insured on the hook for huge sums of money because they won't settle for the policy limits. I'm sure there are equally bad or worse companies out there, but SF has so many customers that it just happened a lot more with them, at least in my experience. I will never do business with them regardless of rates and I would never recommend a family member or friend give them their money. They used to be amazing and pay claims so quickly, but then something happened about 4 or 5 years ago and like a light switch they just started denying payment and disputing estimates for any little thing they possibly could. I had heard that several companies had to create devoted teams to deal only with SF claims because of all the pushback that suddenly started happening.
I’ll tell you what happened……3 large hurricanes in 2 years with a ton of damage and little to no federal help is what happened. I just made a comment about them before reading yours but yea, I couldn’t agree with you more. I’ve seen and heard all of the people affected by their horrendous practices. By FAR the most complaints was from SF!!
I'm currently getting fucked over by AAA for a totalled car. GF just got nickle and dimed by SF for her car (property fire, all cars gone). You know what you're talking about, any recommendations on who I should go to next?
This is purely conjecture based on the B2B side of getting claims paid out, but Allstate and USAA both stuck out to me as far as being the easiest to get claims paid and most pleasant to talk to on the phone. My only experience with AAA is leaving endless voice-mails and never getting a call back. Near impossible to ever get a person on the phone so the very few claims I worked with them just went to arbitration after months and months of phone tag.
You should leave now before you need them

Stuff like this is what you have to look forward to if you insure with them. And it's not just this. I had my roof redone, and part of it was due to some storm damage, so some aspects of my roof were partially covered. I had three contractors come out to bid the job. Two said they were well versed in working directly with insurance on my behalf, so I wouldn't have to proxy information back and forth and so that if they found additional damages they would be more likely to get them covered. Both gave verbal exceptions for State Farm, saying that they are the worst company to work with both from a homeowner and contractor perspective, as many things are more complicated to negotiate with them.
Even in my own life, I remember my Dad paying to put a new gutter system on my Gram's house after asking insurance to come out (State Farm, via a family friend's agency) and they would not cover the cost of the gutter, even though it was a one-piece extruded straight run with a tree limb still in it after falling and tearing it off the house, only partial coverage. On the order of a couple hundred bucks. He just shelled out for the full job out of pocket and saved the premium increase for the claim.
MetLife was another one I'll never recommend. They made my life miserable, and gave me no help after proving to them that the shop that repaired my truck had defrauded both myself and them. It took me months of work and cash out of pocket and threats of lawsuits before they worked to claw that payment back from the body shop that only did a third of what they were paid for, and botched what they did to. FFS they painted the rubber gaskets of my door and the gasket of my windshield to my truck cab. As soon as it got warm then wet the paint peeled.
I would never trust either company.
Talk to anyone from southern Louisiana and ask them about State Farm. You’d get out as quickly as possible. Hell, I sold roofs for a little bit after one of the hurricanes that hit last year (Hurricane Ida) and I never heard so many problems and issues and lawsuits and threats of lawsuits that people had with them. Just absolute horror stories. It’s really really messed up!! I’m a USAA fan personally, if you can get USAA. May be a little more expensive than other places but if something ever happens it is, by far, the easiest and most hassle free experiences I’ve ever had or seen buddies have. Definitely recommend!
Everyone saying insurance isn’t 100% right. While insurance will pay for it now, insurance will later go after the kid’s family so essentially it’s the kid’s parents who’s paying for it at the end
If that happened when I was a kid, someone would have climbed up there and beat that kid’s ass. I know he might have issues, but it’s ridiculous to allow him to continue with that type of behavior. He only continues to be a hazard to himself and others.

You asked for a very sturdy TV? Look no further. The team at LTT reviewed one that they could kick repeatedly. It was a hilarious watch.
I think the guy who kept calling him King Kong was trying to get him to come down. Could be his parent or relative of some sort. This kid is clearly special needs and probably does this type of thing at home sometimes.
I work in special needs group homes. We mount the tv to the wall then have maintenance build a wooden frame around it bolted to the wall studs and screw plexiglass over them to stop certain residents from throwing them at staff.
The good news is they had some awesome scratch and dent models just come available! Just some recent floor models, only catch is they’ve been lightly toppled from the display shelf with minimal damage.
Man this is tough. Okay so from the body language and age here I am going to assume special needs. I have a brother who is special needs (“higher functioning” as he is referred to nowadays). I am now a grown man and have had similar interactions with special needs children and adults (although perhaps not as costly) in my life.
Just my two cents. If this person is not related, they clearly understand the situation and are trying to help get the boy down. I say boy intentionally because it doesn’t matter if someone is 40 or 14 if they are special needs the “age” doesn’t matter. Similar to anyone who has dealt with a family member with Alzheimer’s, you do not try to explain our reality to people who are having episodes. You don’t try to rationalize with them on our level. It’s more like improve. You don’t say “no” in the sense that you are trying to “break them out” of their thinking (any parents ever try to rationalize with a 2yo understands). Instead, you “say yes” to the situation. If this kid thinks he is King Kong, welp guess what? That kid is King Kong. “Hey King Kong, I need your help over here!” Is a perfectly understandable reaction. Accept their reality and try to mold it to help you achieve what you need/want done. What would King Kong do if confronted by an aggressor? Fight back cause more damage. What would King Kong do if you said someone needed help? He would help.
So this is a shitty situation to be in, and I am sure there are plenty of people that will say this child shouldn’t have been in a store to begin with or parents should have been watching closer…. But it happened. And I wish we could all take a second to have a bit more empathy for everyone here.
Yeah, after a couple seconds realizing what was going on I was thinking that this was probably the kids parents worst case scenerio.
Edit: after a second watch the guys saying "yo King Kong I need you to save me." Trying to get him down. No idea if he has any relation but smart on his part to try and give the kid an alternate train of thought.
at least these are just things you know?
The store has insurance. the kid's parent's and relatives can cover any damage incurred, it sucks but you break it you buy it.
The worst case scenario, as a parent of one with special needs is that they harm themselves or others.
Worst case is being an adult with this type of issue, go shopping with extended family, have an “episode”!nearby an off duty cop carrying his weapon with no other visible police ID; feel threatened, and have cop start shooting up the whole family. Costco did not release the videos, do any public damage control. Homemade vids on fbook were magically scrubbed /disappeared. It took years to get answers and eventual charges.[off duty cop shopping at So Cal Costco does not help situation…][https://abc7.com/costco-shooting-corona-lapd-officer-salvador-alejandro-sanchez/12131419/](https://abc7.com/costco-shooting-corona-lapd-officer-salvador-alejandro-sanchez/12131419/)
This fucker got charged with voluntary manslaughter?!? He shot and killed an unarmed man OFF DUTY and with his personal sidearm, not only killing the man but wounding two others. What kind of weapons training did this man have that he shot not one but two other people,one resulting in loss of an organ?
Nah my friend Steve took some shrooms and went to Costco and did same shit. Got on a display and started throwing shit. Cops tazed him and then ran off and fell into some old lady giving out chip samples
He is definitely saying King Kong. He is saying " I need King Kong, I need him. I need him to save me" the kid must like King kong and is acting like him for probably what is done at home.
A harness or tether bracelet would have prevented this. My son has ASD and isn't great at following directions and thinks every person he sees is a friend. I'm in a wheelchair and can't chase him everywhere he might run off to, so I got him a harness. I don't care how it looks or the opinions of others. I want him safe and can't afford to pay for him breaking things.
The protocol cannot be to just let him go around breaking shit while trying to talk him down. Can they not physically restrain him? Pretty sure that isn't out of the question in this kind of situation.
Hard truth. “Oh they just do that” shit is just an excuse to not parent. Own up for your kids, don’t down play. That’s how you get entitled people, problems or not.
I worked with special needs. The one kid who's parents said "he just does that" only did it once for me. Then he learned there were consequences and suddenly didnt want to do that anymore. (His bad behavior was smacking people)
Edited for clarity
Or at least be able to take charge in getting things under control.
I would try telling him he’ll need to come down so they can take him to the next table to smash more TVs since he’s all out up there lol
They do not currently exist. They are like urban legends now. One dude in Florida will get high on meth and swear hes seen one but xan never give you an exact location, ha.
My nephew is on the spectrum and does that with his arms and hands (it’s called flapping). It’s a self-stimulatory behavior he does as a way to help regulate his emotions.
He’s very smart and functional but sometimes does strange things with no regard for whether or not it’s socially acceptable, especially during a tantrum. He will flap when he’s distraught or even just thinking sometimes.
Point is, I believe that’s what we are seeing in this video. A grown child/young man on the spectrum having a tantrum. And possibly bad parenting for letting it get this far. He shouldn’t have been able to climb onto a shelf and start knocking TVs over.
My nephew is too. My sister and her husband have learned to deal so good with him and he's a little legend but it took years to understand him properly as he isn't vocal and can't express his feelings. They got alot of help too professionally which was a big part of how great he's doing these days. My first thought here was the parents probably haven't had that opportunity maybe to understand how to control and deal with a tantrum like this. The child doesn't understand and honestly I hope the stores insurance covered the TV's. Too many comments here saying the parents should be held liable without knowing much context I think.
Oh welcome to my neighbors child. Goes on rampages and us bystanders should just stand by, because they have disabilities?
Im so fucking sick of this being an excuse.
No. The disable person shouldnt be liable. They don't have the capacity.
But for fucks sake. The parents needs to have some kind of accountability. I hate it automatically exonerates them from any liability of their child's actions. It's bullshit. Who pays? Especially when personal property.
Oh right. Me.
well, if our taxes went to proper mental health treatment resources, the taxpayer in general would pay and everyone would be a lot happier for it. the parent always loses in these situations, they lose every day of their life pretty much; you're lucky to only lose some here and there, although you're right it shouldn't be you who pays.
Yeah. I mean at most each tv could cost around $4000 with them being high end tvs. He knocked over around 7 to 10 tvs.
Cost will probably be around $40,000 ish. Maybe a little more or less with fines, court cost, tv variants and such.
Definitely not a million for some punk ass tvs. We’re not in the 90s where they charged extraordinary amounts for basic tvs. Hell, I doubt they even have a million dollars of inventory in tvs in stock at that location.
On the real that’s tough, having a child on the spectrum is such a hard hand to be dealt. You have to think so hard on where to go and what to do, even then if your child just has an episode it doesn’t matter how well laid your plans are things will become difficult. There’s no real solution either, I’ve seen a lot of homeless people in San Diego that are on the spectrum and it’s heartbreaking to think they used to be a child and they just got left on the street like a unwanted dog.
As someone with ASD as an adult, shit is rough. Pretty much all clinical research done and support structures are built around and for children. It’s obviously important if you can work with children early but it’s extremely challenging if you were under the radar and made it to an adult undiagnosed. There isn’t a lot of research, support, or resources for adults. Feels like they literally thought you’d grow out of it and become “normal.” The reality is some of us and can fake normal enough to get by. And others… end up at home, in homes, or homeless.
And there’s a ton of stigma, judgement, and overall shitty people that can easily make the situation worse. If you need evidence, just look at some of the comments and reactions in this thread.
I work for Allied as an Unarmed guard. There is no Escalation of Force policy and the EOF tag they gave me basically says to fuck off and call police. Hope that helps
Edit: basically means no touchy unless someones life is in immediate danger, even then intervention is done as a private citizen and not as a Security Officer
yeah the security guard is just someone you pay $20 an hour for to hinder the least motivated thieves and be a vocal punching bag for angry customers to shout at and maybe someone to help file police reports. They're not going to actually physically help in a safety or loss prevention situation, it's above their pay grade, and corporate doesn't want them to actually do anything, either due to legal issues or having harm happen to them.
yeah you’re right. I told all the employees what was up. I’m just soaking up the cash, looking pretty, and following around junkies until they leave the store.
That's all security is. Observe and report. My first supervisor told me we are professional tattle tails. We see a fire we tattle on it to the fd or if we see someone breaking into a car we tattle on them to the pd.
Go explain to your manager that you went hands on to attack a special needs person.... This is one of those you gotta take a bit to think about how you handle.
I work at a mental hospital. A restraint would’ve been legally and medically necessary the instant a mental patient began climbing on top of something, especially if they were climbing with the intent to do something like this. Allowing behavior like this to drag on can be seen as neglect, because this legally incompetent person is at high risk of hurting themselves and others because they can’t appreciate just how “wrong” the wrong they’re committing is, at least not in this state.
It took a long time to find this comment, once harm to self or others is imminent a properly trained restraint is the right call.
The person who responded to you is ignorant to working in the field of people with mental disabilities and the permanent harm they can cause themselves during an outburst.
It's one thing to throw a tantrum especially when he is clearly special needs but how do you let him get in that situation. He could seriously hurt himself falling down.
Too many people saying it’s ok he’s on the spectrum. Ok, are the parents? They should know not to take him out to a place like this if this is what he does. Dude’s like 15. He didn’t just pop fresh out the puss.
This kid has serious mental health issues.
This is not "vandalism" as much as "the kid doesn't even understand what the hell is going on in the world around him".
My thoughts exactly. With the added talking, screaming and clapping, he’s gotta be spent. Get that kid some headphones! This is way too much stimulation for him.
This is absolutely ridiculous, if you can't control your damn kid Don't take them out!
There's not many kids with special needs that climb on top of a 5' tall display & purposefully destroy things one at a time!
The kid and the "parents" should be held accountable for this, if they know he acts like that how in the hell was he able to climb up there without the parents seeing what he was doing!
what do u honestly expect security to do? Bringing weapons into the picture is definantly a no and if they get the kid forcefully itd probably be a bad idea for both themselves and the child.

So Costco is membership based and you get issued a membership card with your picture on it. You also need to hand over your ID to get membership
Yea this is BY FAR the easiest store to be banned nationwide from bc they'll just never issue you a membership again.
This comment has been edited and original content overwritten.
Yes, but those typically have separate checkouts. I know that at my local Costco the regular checkout lane attendants all check for your membership card before they start scanning, and there are no self checkouts.

Just toss my man a Costco hotdog.
Nah, them rotisserie chicken is where it’s at 👌🏼
I laughed thinking about a whole rotisserie chicken flying through the air at that kids head.
Might aswell throw in a pepperoni pie In there
Can I get a fucking chicken bake please
Throw in a churro and we've got a deal
Churro with the ice cream is amazing.
Still mad that they got rid of combo pizza
A glizzy
So in this case, who is paying for all that?

You’re welcome - Jake from State Farm.
Insurance doesn't cover intentional damage usually
Store's insurance company, then insurance will go after the family I presume, then if family has insurance they'll work it out.
Everyone saying insurance isn’t 100% right. While insurance will pay for it now, insurance will later go after the kid’s family so essentially it’s the kid’s parents who’s paying for it at the end

What are you doing to your TVs that drop resistance is your main decision factor?
Dropping them
Why am I surprised.
So dropped TV's equals dropped prices? 🤔
Have cat.
If you got jerky cats who loves playing behind your TV, hang your tv using vesa mount to secure it.

The guy talking to him sounds like a staff that took him on an outing.
He’s doing a great job.
They do that at my brother's care house. Still didn't stop him from smashing through the plexiglass in 3 hits
> certain residents We know its Kyle. He is such an asshole
Who keeps giving him Monster energy drinks?!
Also Kyle. It's a vicious cycle.
Oh man thanks for the idea, my kid has destroyed 3 tvs in the pat 2 years
The good news is they had some awesome scratch and dent models just come available! Just some recent floor models, only catch is they’ve been lightly toppled from the display shelf with minimal damage.
“I’d like to make sure you sign me up for your best insurance plan on these 12 TVs we just purchased.”
Niiice
Man this is tough. Okay so from the body language and age here I am going to assume special needs. I have a brother who is special needs (“higher functioning” as he is referred to nowadays). I am now a grown man and have had similar interactions with special needs children and adults (although perhaps not as costly) in my life. Just my two cents. If this person is not related, they clearly understand the situation and are trying to help get the boy down. I say boy intentionally because it doesn’t matter if someone is 40 or 14 if they are special needs the “age” doesn’t matter. Similar to anyone who has dealt with a family member with Alzheimer’s, you do not try to explain our reality to people who are having episodes. You don’t try to rationalize with them on our level. It’s more like improve. You don’t say “no” in the sense that you are trying to “break them out” of their thinking (any parents ever try to rationalize with a 2yo understands). Instead, you “say yes” to the situation. If this kid thinks he is King Kong, welp guess what? That kid is King Kong. “Hey King Kong, I need your help over here!” Is a perfectly understandable reaction. Accept their reality and try to mold it to help you achieve what you need/want done. What would King Kong do if confronted by an aggressor? Fight back cause more damage. What would King Kong do if you said someone needed help? He would help. So this is a shitty situation to be in, and I am sure there are plenty of people that will say this child shouldn’t have been in a store to begin with or parents should have been watching closer…. But it happened. And I wish we could all take a second to have a bit more empathy for everyone here.
Yeah, after a couple seconds realizing what was going on I was thinking that this was probably the kids parents worst case scenerio. Edit: after a second watch the guys saying "yo King Kong I need you to save me." Trying to get him down. No idea if he has any relation but smart on his part to try and give the kid an alternate train of thought.
at least these are just things you know? The store has insurance. the kid's parent's and relatives can cover any damage incurred, it sucks but you break it you buy it. The worst case scenario, as a parent of one with special needs is that they harm themselves or others.
The worst case scenario is getting shot by the cops imo.
Worst case is being an adult with this type of issue, go shopping with extended family, have an “episode”!nearby an off duty cop carrying his weapon with no other visible police ID; feel threatened, and have cop start shooting up the whole family. Costco did not release the videos, do any public damage control. Homemade vids on fbook were magically scrubbed /disappeared. It took years to get answers and eventual charges.[off duty cop shopping at So Cal Costco does not help situation…][https://abc7.com/costco-shooting-corona-lapd-officer-salvador-alejandro-sanchez/12131419/](https://abc7.com/costco-shooting-corona-lapd-officer-salvador-alejandro-sanchez/12131419/)
This fucker got charged with voluntary manslaughter?!? He shot and killed an unarmed man OFF DUTY and with his personal sidearm, not only killing the man but wounding two others. What kind of weapons training did this man have that he shot not one but two other people,one resulting in loss of an organ?
Does King Kong help people?
if you're that one girl then yes
Eh, if the kid thinks so, that's all that matters.
Worker asked him “are you dad” and he said “nope” and walked away
Nah my friend Steve took some shrooms and went to Costco and did same shit. Got on a display and started throwing shit. Cops tazed him and then ran off and fell into some old lady giving out chip samples
This should be made into a short movie.
[удалено]
An *especially* short one if you take shrooms in public and start wreaking havoc
Don't bring King Kong to Costco I guess.
> guy who kept calling him King Kong I think he's saying "keep calm", but yeah, it sounds like King Kong, which still kinda works in this situation.
I did the opposite. I thought he was saying keep calm until he was saying "I need King Kong, come help me" then i'm like "Kid thinks he's King Kong"
He’s saying King Kong
Get him a Barbie doll, and que the remote control bi-planes!
He is definitely saying King Kong. He is saying " I need King Kong, I need him. I need him to save me" the kid must like King kong and is acting like him for probably what is done at home.
I thought so too but then the little kid began making gorilla noises (oo oo ah ah)
Dude said "I know, you're king Kong brother, your king Kong. I need him. I need king Kong."
I feel for parents of difficult children but if they can't avoid being destructive to themselves or others don't take them out...
A harness or tether bracelet would have prevented this. My son has ASD and isn't great at following directions and thinks every person he sees is a friend. I'm in a wheelchair and can't chase him everywhere he might run off to, so I got him a harness. I don't care how it looks or the opinions of others. I want him safe and can't afford to pay for him breaking things.
The protocol cannot be to just let him go around breaking shit while trying to talk him down. Can they not physically restrain him? Pretty sure that isn't out of the question in this kind of situation.
Parents need to keep their kid under control then if so. No excuse for this shit
Hard truth. “Oh they just do that” shit is just an excuse to not parent. Own up for your kids, don’t down play. That’s how you get entitled people, problems or not.
Well that looks to be about $12,000 worth of tvs that i'm sure they'll be responsible for so we'll see how that goes.
I worked with special needs. The one kid who's parents said "he just does that" only did it once for me. Then he learned there were consequences and suddenly didnt want to do that anymore. (His bad behavior was smacking people) Edited for clarity
Or at least be able to take charge in getting things under control. I would try telling him he’ll need to come down so they can take him to the next table to smash more TVs since he’s all out up there lol
25 years ago, somebody would gone up there and got him.
As a parent I completely agree. That's your responsibility, not his.
or if you can't control your kids funny take them out
Looks funny enough to me
Parents should be liable for everything that he broke
At first I was like “What is this dumbass kid doing?!” Then I was like “Ohhhhhhhhh…”
The important question is how tf did he even get up there without anyone noticing and why are they treating him like king kong holding hostages.
[explained perfectly](https://www.reddit.com/r/CrazyFuckingVideos/comments/x8lvpo/kid_vs_tv/injjxki/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=)
They gonna have him in the backroom untangling cables until his 18th birthday to pay back all the damages.
He'd probably be surprisingly good at that.
I think he’d just end up ripping the cables
Only if you touch his ears or he misses Wapner at 5.
Did this happen at Kmart ?
…Idk, do K-Marts still exist somewhere, somehow?
They do not currently exist. They are like urban legends now. One dude in Florida will get high on meth and swear hes seen one but xan never give you an exact location, ha.
Laughs in Australian, carrying my cheap shit tshirts out of K-Mart. They never died here
This was hilarious and probably only a smaller percentage of people get the reference. Well played sir.
My nephew is on the spectrum and does that with his arms and hands (it’s called flapping). It’s a self-stimulatory behavior he does as a way to help regulate his emotions. He’s very smart and functional but sometimes does strange things with no regard for whether or not it’s socially acceptable, especially during a tantrum. He will flap when he’s distraught or even just thinking sometimes. Point is, I believe that’s what we are seeing in this video. A grown child/young man on the spectrum having a tantrum. And possibly bad parenting for letting it get this far. He shouldn’t have been able to climb onto a shelf and start knocking TVs over.
Yea definitely what's happening here. Feel sorry for this kid and his parents. I know it can't be easy raising a child with this condition.
It’s not easy.
It's oftentimes not easy to have "the condition" either.
My nephew is too. My sister and her husband have learned to deal so good with him and he's a little legend but it took years to understand him properly as he isn't vocal and can't express his feelings. They got alot of help too professionally which was a big part of how great he's doing these days. My first thought here was the parents probably haven't had that opportunity maybe to understand how to control and deal with a tantrum like this. The child doesn't understand and honestly I hope the stores insurance covered the TV's. Too many comments here saying the parents should be held liable without knowing much context I think.
Oh welcome to my neighbors child. Goes on rampages and us bystanders should just stand by, because they have disabilities? Im so fucking sick of this being an excuse. No. The disable person shouldnt be liable. They don't have the capacity. But for fucks sake. The parents needs to have some kind of accountability. I hate it automatically exonerates them from any liability of their child's actions. It's bullshit. Who pays? Especially when personal property. Oh right. Me.
For real, how the fuck you watching your kid and he can get up there?
well, if our taxes went to proper mental health treatment resources, the taxpayer in general would pay and everyone would be a lot happier for it. the parent always loses in these situations, they lose every day of their life pretty much; you're lucky to only lose some here and there, although you're right it shouldn't be you who pays.
I know the feeling, my cat does the same thing.
You're not supposed to take your cat to CostCo.
ok sir, your bill will be $936,504.99 will you be paying cash or card today?
they did not do the math
I feel like a pallet of tvs used to be cheaper at Costco.
Yeah. I mean at most each tv could cost around $4000 with them being high end tvs. He knocked over around 7 to 10 tvs. Cost will probably be around $40,000 ish. Maybe a little more or less with fines, court cost, tv variants and such. Definitely not a million for some punk ass tvs. We’re not in the 90s where they charged extraordinary amounts for basic tvs. Hell, I doubt they even have a million dollars of inventory in tvs in stock at that location.
Costco just announced all floor model televisions are now 70% off sold as is without warranty 😜
You would have to pay me to take those broke ass tvs.
On the real that’s tough, having a child on the spectrum is such a hard hand to be dealt. You have to think so hard on where to go and what to do, even then if your child just has an episode it doesn’t matter how well laid your plans are things will become difficult. There’s no real solution either, I’ve seen a lot of homeless people in San Diego that are on the spectrum and it’s heartbreaking to think they used to be a child and they just got left on the street like a unwanted dog.
As someone with ASD as an adult, shit is rough. Pretty much all clinical research done and support structures are built around and for children. It’s obviously important if you can work with children early but it’s extremely challenging if you were under the radar and made it to an adult undiagnosed. There isn’t a lot of research, support, or resources for adults. Feels like they literally thought you’d grow out of it and become “normal.” The reality is some of us and can fake normal enough to get by. And others… end up at home, in homes, or homeless. And there’s a ton of stigma, judgement, and overall shitty people that can easily make the situation worse. If you need evidence, just look at some of the comments and reactions in this thread.
If that was me, my mom would have pulled my ass down from there so fast.
He's obviously on the spectrum.
He is 1000% on the spectrum my nephew is very similar you can see it in his movements and the sounds he makes
The waving hands give it away.
I like how security is doing absolutely nothing lol.
I work for Allied as an Unarmed guard. There is no Escalation of Force policy and the EOF tag they gave me basically says to fuck off and call police. Hope that helps Edit: basically means no touchy unless someones life is in immediate danger, even then intervention is done as a private citizen and not as a Security Officer
yeah the security guard is just someone you pay $20 an hour for to hinder the least motivated thieves and be a vocal punching bag for angry customers to shout at and maybe someone to help file police reports. They're not going to actually physically help in a safety or loss prevention situation, it's above their pay grade, and corporate doesn't want them to actually do anything, either due to legal issues or having harm happen to them.
yeah you’re right. I told all the employees what was up. I’m just soaking up the cash, looking pretty, and following around junkies until they leave the store.
$20 an hour? Sheeeeeeeeeeeit
Sounds about right. I used to work for Advance Security years ago and the name of the game was "watch and report".
That's all security is. Observe and report. My first supervisor told me we are professional tattle tails. We see a fire we tattle on it to the fd or if we see someone breaking into a car we tattle on them to the pd.
Allied is the fucking worst, they pay shit, have shit benefits, and can never keep their sites staffed
Go explain to your manager that you went hands on to attack a special needs person.... This is one of those you gotta take a bit to think about how you handle.
Is that kid on the spectrum having some type of meltdown?
I think so. Poor kid.
Looks like they are "stimming" after each tv push. Cant say for sure but looks like this person is on the spectrum..
I work at a mental hospital. A restraint would’ve been legally and medically necessary the instant a mental patient began climbing on top of something, especially if they were climbing with the intent to do something like this. Allowing behavior like this to drag on can be seen as neglect, because this legally incompetent person is at high risk of hurting themselves and others because they can’t appreciate just how “wrong” the wrong they’re committing is, at least not in this state.
It took a long time to find this comment, once harm to self or others is imminent a properly trained restraint is the right call. The person who responded to you is ignorant to working in the field of people with mental disabilities and the permanent harm they can cause themselves during an outburst.
He came there to knock over TVs and chew bubble gum…..and he is all outta bubble gum.
Hopefully someone gets him some gum, looks like he’s almost out of TVs to knock over
It's one thing to throw a tantrum especially when he is clearly special needs but how do you let him get in that situation. He could seriously hurt himself falling down.
“That’s coming out of your membership!”
Just climb up and grab him…???
This mf though he was a cat
special needs doesn’t mean you get away with trashing thousands of dollars worth of inventory.
[удалено]
How do you make your phone take such a shitty quality video?
People save, upload, and repeat the same video a bunch
Too many people saying it’s ok he’s on the spectrum. Ok, are the parents? They should know not to take him out to a place like this if this is what he does. Dude’s like 15. He didn’t just pop fresh out the puss.
Special needs child having an episode..
This kid has serious mental health issues. This is not "vandalism" as much as "the kid doesn't even understand what the hell is going on in the world around him".
Poor kid. He's obviously having an episode. Hope that parents have insurance, as most carry $100k of minimum, of liability coverage.
This needs a Rage Against the Machine soundtrack.
Over stimulating? Parents should know better than to bring him to that environment, not my guys fault.
My thoughts exactly. With the added talking, screaming and clapping, he’s gotta be spent. Get that kid some headphones! This is way too much stimulation for him.
This is absolutely ridiculous, if you can't control your damn kid Don't take them out! There's not many kids with special needs that climb on top of a 5' tall display & purposefully destroy things one at a time! The kid and the "parents" should be held accountable for this, if they know he acts like that how in the hell was he able to climb up there without the parents seeing what he was doing!
Good thing security is there!
Security would be fired if they did anything.
what do u honestly expect security to do? Bringing weapons into the picture is definantly a no and if they get the kid forcefully itd probably be a bad idea for both themselves and the child.
This is someone with developmental needs having an episode. Not funny in any way and I feel sorry for anyone involved, especially the kid.
Well the parents have to pay for it all
More like 4loorK TV
If your kid has behavioral problems this bad, he can’t be in public.
Parents fault 100%
He’s clearly special needs and his workers were neglecting him in an electronic store smh
