Hi Patrick! Thanks for sharing your location. Could you please describe your legal issue in more detail? This will help me provide you with the most relevant information.
the store employee calling you and Dale's parents "Mommy and Daddy" because of our disability is that discrimination
Hi Patrick! It sounds like the store employee's behavior could be considered discriminatory, especially if it was based on your disability. Discrimination based on disability is prohibited under both federal and state laws.
- The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination based on disability.
- New York State Human Rights Law also protects against disability discrimination.
Would you like guidance on how to file a complaint or take further action?
