Today, a kid with severe Down's came into my workplace, as he does every day. He's has an obsession with me, sitting at a table, staring and taking photos of me all day. His parents have no problem with this, because they think it's a miracle that he can focus so much attention on me for so long. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I worked up the courage to tell my supervisor that it makes me feel uncomfortable when my coworker teases me by saying a special needs client is in love with me at the residential facility I work at. Her response was, “Well, he is obsessed with you. He writes your name down hundreds of times and watches you out his window." FML
Today, my coworker and I were sitting and eating lunch. We noticed a little kid kept staring at us, and every time we looked away he would come a little bit closer. When he was right behind us, I looked and was startled enough to jump. The parents were three tables down, laughing uncontrollably. FML
Today, and every day, a homeless looking man walks into my work, sits down and stares. I'm new to the job so, trying to make new friends, when the guy walked in this time, I went over to a co worker I was really clicking with, and went off about how creepy he was. He replied with "Who, my dad?" FML
Today, just like every other day, I noticed that one of my male coworkers always stares at me while passing by or when it's time for lunch. I read somewhere that if a person stares at you too long, they either want to have sex with you or want to kill you. He has a girlfriend, so I doubt it's the first option. FML
Today, my son told me he liked a girl, so I asked if they were friends. He said no, he's never spoken to her, but he watches her in class and follows her around. When I told him that was fucking creepy, my wife yelled at me. My kid is a stalker and my wife thinks it's cute. God help me. FML
Today, I was eating at a restaurant in town, when a small boy started looking at me. I simply smiled and went back to eating, only to hear out of the corner of my ear, "Daddy, why does that kid's face look like that"? He said it so loud, the three tables next to us turned and looked. FML
Today, while at a psychiatric hospital working as a student nurse, I discovered one of the patients had developed an unhealthy obsession for me. He was admitted for stalking and abusing a girl who looked just like me. It's only my first week. FML
Today, same as recently, there's some guy constantly standing in front of my building waiting for me to come out, just to stare at me and then get mad when I walk to my car, to the store, to the bank, and even followed me into the lobby to see what floor I get off at, like a weirdo. What should I do? FML
Today, there's a guy in my class who I'm very attracted to. I'm hyperconscious of him for that, and I worry about the impression I give. By now though, there have been at least two different eye contact occasions that made it look like I was staring at him when I was NOT, and now I must look like a creepy stalker. FML
Today, I went to my Calculus lecture, one of a class of 200 people. As I looked down I noticed that a guy a few rows in front of me was on Facebook. When I took a closer look, I noticed he was viewing my profile. He stalked the profile for a full 45 minutes. I have never met this guy in my life. FML

and what the hell is it hurting you? this kid is going to have enough problems in life dealing with people like you. and don't get me started on the parents. they have it tough too protecting this kid. now sit still, shut your trap and let that kid take some snaps. damn! probably the one thing he looks forward to everyday.

I'm pretty sure she's not insensitive to the fact that he has down syndrome, people. She's upset about the fact that his parents are allowing and encouraging this behavior, when she is obviously uncomfortable with it, and has asked them to do something. Her complaint is not with the child; it is with his parents. His handicap is no excuse for his parents' failure to correct him. They should be trying to raise him and teach him in such a way that he can function as normally as possible in society, and allowing/encouraging him to blatantly stalk someone is not helping with that at all. Just because it makes him happy doesn't mean it's good for him.

it's hard disciplining a child with a mental disability. My 11 year old brother with autism is allowed to hit me with a whip like cat toy and tell me to "move it you ****" when I'm cleaning his room because my mom doesn't look at him as Hunter the 11 year old who needs to be molded into a good person. she looks at him as poor Hunter who has a mental disability and needs to be spoiled in every way possible because he's special.

I agree with 47. This is not the kids fault but it is the parents fault. This boy is going to have enough problems in life without his parents encouraging what would be very disturbing behavior in a normal person. Just because he is disabled does not mean that the behavior is OK or that the OP has to be OK with it.
