Seattle:A mother and her one year old son were kicked out a metro bus because of baby’s stinky diaper.
The woman, Nichole Hakimian has lodged a complaint with Seattle bus services operators. Apparently she was taking her son to a nearby clinic because he was having diarrhea. And the son pooped in his diaper soon after they got on, KOMO news reported.
“Your baby, he smells really bad, and it’s not fair that we all have to smell that.” the driver has told Hakimian.
“I said, `My son is sick. I’m taking him to a doctor’s appointment.’”
Nonetheless, the driver stopped the bus and let her out about a half mile from the clinic, she said.
Hakimian, who is four months pregnant, found a nearby place to change the diaper. She caught another bus to the clinic and learned her baby was suffering from a stomach bug.
She complained to Metro, and the King County transit agency is investigating.
“Based on reports, this appears to be a very unique situation. Our goal is always to balance the comfort of all of our riders with providing good customer service. We are investigating the complaint, and will get a report from the driver to confirm what happened and that proper procedures were followed,” spokesman Jeff Switzer said in a statement to KOMO.
The bus ride made her feel sick too, said Hakimian.
“I feel like I was being discriminated against and bullied. And it made me feel like crap. It really did,” she said.
