This is truly, truly unbelievable. The cruelty and blind deference to authority is mind boggling. (Thanks to Alas, a blog for bringing it to my attention.) This happened about a year and a half ago, but was only recently reported on ABC's Primetime. Click here for the full story.
A teenage girl (an employee) at a Kentucky McDonalds is strip searched in the back office by a (female) manager and then coerced into performing sex acts on the manager's fiancé...all because they were on the phone with a man—who turned out to be from calling from Florida—claiming to be a police officer investigating the girl (who merely fit a general description the man concocted) for stealing a customer's purse. One of the other employees even knew about what was going on and didn't do anything.
The manager who believed everything the "cop" on the phone told her...the fiancé who was so willing to go along that he had her do things that were clearly a violation of the girl (and of course the law)...the girl who went along because she had no other way to guarantee the security of her job...everyone just went along with it.
The only lessons here:
- Question authority
- Demand proof
- Know your rights
And while I wish the girl had done these things, it's impossible to blame her. She was the powerless one. I mean those lessons more for the manager, who SHOULD HAVE FUCKING KNOWN BETTER.
Rant, rave, rant, rave, rant, rave. I can't even think of anything more to say.
The managers (male & female) and the guy on the phone were all in on that shit! All three of them belong in fucking prison. They can act as stupid as they want to try to get out of it but please don't think that most are so stupid to believe that fucking perverted fantasy that they orchestrated.
