Family Attorney Says New Video Confirms 2 Young Girls Ignored By Character At Sesame Place

Brandon Goldner reports.

[@JS-fb6ww]

Something's not adding up about this second video from the grassy knoll. Why are we only seeing 2 seconds of the clip where it doesn't show the character hugging somebody else after the two black girls, and why are we not seeing it from beginning to end where the encounter with the two black girls happened and after and before that were the character waved off somebody else in the crowd before the two black girls?

Who were the black little kids with in the first place where are their guardians at? was it the white social service woman .. because she clearly got instructed they're not allowed to be groped or tackled by little kids of any color and I missed it for some reason that new video from a different angle of kids of A different race being hugged after the fact again can I get some kind of indicator marker timeline.. just race baiting and fools will always fall for if they have no brain and only follow what the masses tell them to think..aka sheep

[@AccordingtoVin]

This footage is bogus in 2 very important ways, first it doesn't show the character waving off the people before the 2 children which was clear in the first video, this is done purposefully and edited this way to get the desired view response. Second the footage stops the moment we are about to see what the character is going to do.. Why stop it, why end the clip where they did? Your just about to show something....then end. Why? Something is wrong. Did the character also end up waving off the next people to? It's impossible to tell based on the strange and immediate cut off of this video. It's dripping with the loaded bias they want. Just show the full clip without the obvious edit points and let people decide for themselves.

[@nashaec3233]

This is crazy because I went with my family a couple years ago and they where racist them. My then boyfriend won some bears from the out side machine and then we still end up going into the shop and they accused my cousin of stealing when she just wanted to get extra stuff for her son( who had autism). They didn’t even sell the item in the shop, wouldn’t check the cameras and told her she couldn’t leave until she paid for it smh. They realized at the end it didn’t scan because it wasn’t from there and still where rude never apologized or anything. I will never go back.

Guns, at a children's amusement park? Why would anyone think this is okay? I am Black and I don't support having weapons of any sort at a place where children gather for recreational fun. What message are we sending to the children? Some of our children have experienced a history of gun violence within their families, communities, schools...This is not okay. If people don't treat you right, don't patronize them. Take them to court, protest peacefully if you must, but leave the weapons at home. Anything could happen. What did the other children and their families do? Why put their lives at risk for serious harm, injury, or even death. I hate racism of any sort, but this is not a good move/look! I can't!!!

[@queeannyse]

I hate that the reporter didn’t note that the new angle shows the Sesame Place LIED about how Rosita was waving off a parent behind them. The video shows that was a blatant lie and far from the truth as there is no one behind those girls

[@raphaeldelaghetto9349]

If they don’t like you .. why go there ?? You wanna force people to accept you ?? I pity you fools - Mr T

[@brody6634]

And I hate how the old angle crops out the fact that the character WAS waving off a white woman in a purple shirt behind them. The clip at 0:30 seconds crops it out, but at 1:28 you can clearly see the character puts up one finger and waves it in a "no no no" type fashion at the woman.. So if the character was focused on a woman, i think it's entirely possible they didn't see the children with the limited view they had while in that costume. Or maybe the character did see the children, but thought they were with the white woman, so tree character chose to move on....i also find It interesting that the "new video" has been cut to start after the incident. The girls have switched sides, and the purple shirt woman is no longer near them in the new video, why don't they show what happened before that? What was the white woman doing for the character to wave her off?

[@estherstrategicadvisor749]

It's interesting that bcs of your comment, I looked at the clip again and the Sesame Place character responds SEPARATELY to the children, AFTER one child reaches over to touch her, shaking a hand at them and says no. It would make sense that with their job on the line that would be the FIRST thing that they would say to their employer upon seeing this clip. Instead the worker said she didn't SEE them. Sounds plausible til we see the video. You need to realize that many people have come forward, including in this comment section, with evidence of biased treatment. Until preventative measures are taken in America, to let people know that they need to leave their biased mindset out of the workplace, we will continue to have these incidents come up.

[@Megahustla313rd]

And QUEE, I Also hate the fact that people are making dumb excuses for Rosita ignorant behavior in the comment section.

[@brody6634]

@@estherstrategicadvisor749 i see what your seeing... But the character shook his hand at the white woman, along with shaking his head "no" while walking passed the children. I do think it's possible they never even seen those kids, and as i already mentioned, it is also possible they thought the children were with the white woman, being how close the three appear to be in the first clip. So the question is, what did the white woman do to get that reaction? It's also possible that they did see the children, but felt it was best to create separation from white woman, at the children's expense. With no thought on thier skin color. It is also possible this was a racist reaction by the character, I'm not saying racism is completely off the table here. I'm simply saying these videos are not really telling a complete story, and it seems awfully suspicious that the few videos they have are either cropped, or time stamped to start in the most convenient time for the law suit. I'm not making excuses for "rosita" i don't even know what rosita is, but I'm guessing that's the persons name in the costume. I'm just looking at a videos with an open mind, and raising questions on the suspicious editing of said videos. In my opinion there is no where enough evidence to say this is racism. I think these people are over reacting.... In a huge way. But everyone is entitled to thier opinion.

[@Sister_Sandy]

Initially when I saw the first video I gave them the benefit of the doubt because the first video made it seem like it was a big crowd and I thought well it wasn't possible to shake everyone's hand but now that I see that there really weren't any other kids in that area besides them it is obvious that that wasn't even the case. I also think that it is also obvious that it wasn't cause they couldn't see the child because who else was the character signaling no to because they were the only children in the area so they lied about that...some are going to disagree with me on this but that is why you should as much as possible stop lying to the child and make believing it is the actual character. I always tell little ones that it is someone in the costume (because some are scared) because now the girls are thinking the character is mean, cold and hateful

So, when Autistic children want attention from people, they are called entitled. But here, these children are? Not saying this was justified, it is wrong... I just hate double standards.

[@Sister_Sandy]

@@bertstudios I'm not a parent so I can't completely say my reaction or my feelings but although being an auntie is not quite the same but I am around them everyday and in situations with my siblings kids they were always terrified of the characters anyways at chuckie cheese they would run and hide and even trying to explain then that there is a person in the costume they didn't comprehend which would probably be the same trying to explain that the person in the costume was just having a bad day or whatever...I personally wouldn't have made a thing out of this because that's reality, hate is in this world but again, I'm not a parent ;and as far as autistic kids go only idiots and ignorant people would say that about an autistic child and again with autism it's hard to explain their situation to other kids and even adults.. I see though from personal experience that adult school staff are overly friendly and accommodating to autistic children ; it's their peers that staff have a hard time trying it help them to connect with or include them with everyone...
