A Hospital Worker Told This 4-Year-Old Girl That The Boy Who Beat Her Up Probably Has A Crush On Her
Hurting is not flirting.
Merritt Smith, the girl’s mom, wrote a powerful response on Facebook.
"Please do not create an environment where parents who need support won't ask because they feel judged or shamed. We are all worthy of love and support. Instead of 'they need to do this or that.' Why not 'How can I support you?' 'I've had some rough days as a parent. How's your day going?'"
Smith says she still values the hospital, and does not think the employee who made the comment should be fired.
"I want it to be understood that I value Nationwide Children's Hospital as a tremendous asset and resource in our community," Smith later commented on her own post.
"I do not mean to attack the hospital or get this man fired. He genuinely meant no harm. My intensity and intent is to change old scripts that do not serve us as adults and most certainly do not serve our children," she wrote.
