If this girl is so far gone she can’t stop herself from accidently being homophobic, why were the parents letting her out to drink on the street at midnight?
If she was over 18, then I’d agree, she should be allowed to do whatever other adults are allowed too. However she was 16 years old, two years too young to legally drink and doing it in the street not in a pub.
The mother still has a duty of care here due to her age, so if the mother thinks that she is unable to take criminal responsibility due to her age and condition, why is she letting her out to go drinking on the street?
“If the mother thinks she is unable to handle being abused by the only people in the country allowed to employ violence due to her being a minor and autistic, why is she letting her go outside and socialize with her friends?”
You clearly read the article to know she was intoxicated, so you must have also seen the kids words quoted as "you look like my Nana, she’s a lesbian.
That’s oversharing, people do that on a normal day, let alone that she was an intoxicated neurodiverse child having a panic attack. Without context it’s not an insult, with context its a child being manhandled while in distress.
It seems like you have a problem with her as a person for either being a drunk teenager, neurodivergent or possibly something else? Kids fuck about, the consequences in this instance should be a hangover and a stern talking to, not assault and arrest.
Honestly, I don’t think it is.
From an outside perspective, someone might genuinely have that opinion. It might be up for debate (and ratio), however.
From another, you could understand how someone was willing to take the risk to experience a more normal life.
If she was 18 and drinking in a pub, I have no issue whatsoever. However she was 16 and drinking on the street at midnight. Her mother can’t allow her out to do that, but at the same time argue that she’s such a special delicate flower that she shouldn’t have to take criminal responsibility for hate speech. Pick a lane.

You think people with a limited verbal filter who speak their mind shouldn’t be allowed to go out at night or drink alcohol?
I think ableists shouldn’t be allowed on the internet.

Nice victim blaming you got there buddy
If anything I’m blaming the mother for being irresponsible.

Yea this autistic girls guardians seem to be abusive or at very least neglectful, and so? Was your point that the mom sounds like she sucks?
What about “you look like my gay grandma” is homophobic?!
I’m sorry what?

Saying someone looks like someone else who happens to be gay is not homophobic… You’re homophobic for thinking it is.

Also, if a 16-year-old in the UK wants to go out and get pissed, stopping them is no easy feat.
