A waiter in Houston put his job on the line and is
receiving praise after he told a table he was unwilling to serve them.
The waiter, Michael Garcia, was waiting on a family of regulars who have a 5-yr old child (Milo) with down syndrome. Another family he was serving made comments about the noises the child was making so he moved the annoyed party to another table.
The waiter then overheard "special needs children need to be special somewhere else," from the table. That's when he informed them he would be unable to serve them. They left the restaurant.
Share this if you agree that Michael Garcia has become a hero for standing up for this little boy!

Al Ain: In
association with Johns Hopkins Medical, Tawam Hospital has inaugurated a new
specialiswed clinic for infants and children diagnosed with Down’s syndrome.
According to
the World Health Organisation, Down syndrome is present in one out of about
1,000 live births.
In the US
alone, about 6,000 babies a year are born with the chromosomal abnormality,
according to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, amounting to about
one in every 700 births.
A 2007 study
looking at more than 63,000 newborns in Dubai, between 1999 and 2003, estimated
the incidence to be one in every 449 live births. Among Emiratis, this rate
increased to one in 319.
