McDonalds is being sued for false imprisonment.

[PlatinumGold]

Meanwhile, Ogborn is suing McDonald's and Summers for false imprisonment.

In a statement, McDonald's said, "We take this matter very seriously and through our training try very hard to warn employees about such schemes."

McDonald's training manual does include a section which cautions employees that "no legitimate law enforcement agency would ever ask you to conduct such a search."

But none of the employees "Primetime" spoke with at the Mount Washington, Ky., McDonald's say they ever recall seeing the warning.

like that whole incident is really McDonalds fault. OMFG, this sue anybody with money stuff in the US is really ridiculous.

would any of you change your feelings about this if you found out it had taken place in a FRANCHISED STORE vs a CORPORATE STORE?

yes and yes.

the girl obviously was traumatized and is a victim but blaming mcdonalds is just stupid.

so if i go into mcdonalds, take a plastic fork and stab it into my eyeball, i can sue mcdonalds?

like i said, it's just stupid the way we sue in this country.

i think some liability lies with the manager or office worker, who is a mcdonalds employee. one would hope someone in a position of moderate power would know better than the 18 year old (who should have known better as well). im not agreeing with the idea of going after the giant but they are responsible to some extent to things that go on within their company walls.

yeah.

I expect 18 year odls to be neive. But i do not expect a manager to know when to pull back . The manager should have asked for a female officer to come in and search her.

Yes i agree with at he suit. But i think the girl being on TV did more harm then mcdonalds.

 

[Plasdom]

I watched this last night. Summers (Manager) was incredibly stupid. You would think she would know better.

I agree with this. The manager may have been criminally negligent. As a manager, your employees rely on you to know more and be able to handle certain situations, such as something involving the police. Also, the girl really may have felt she had no other alternative due to her situation with her mother. She was very naive.

of COURSE the McDonald's coprporation is legally liable for a situation like that. And OF COURSE the girl should sue the McDonald's corporation. If there is any justice, she will win a tasty payout.

WTF was the manager thinking in subjecting the girl to that?

Who was hired and trained by McDonalds on how to handle emergency situations. So therefore, it is McDonald's fault.

 

[Gibson486]

Who is hired and trained by McDonalds. He is the corprate face of the company to the people that work there.

heck im suprised she is not sueing for sexual harrasement for forcing her to get naked.

 

[Plasdom]

Even TWO other employees who were called in, came in and left disgusted and saying it was stupid and they would not have any of it.

 

[loup garou]

Oh I remember this guy (the caller). How stupid are these people?

You know the fiance (Nix) knew what was going on but was getting off on it, I hope he's found guilty.

Not only that, but her fiance spanked the girl also. At one point for about 10 mins

 

[yllus]

I am a terrible person. I laughed myself silly reading about her treatment that night.

Seriously, how incredibly stupid do you have to be to fall for all of that? Do naked jumping jacks to see if anything falls out? LMAO!

I am in awe of her incredible naivety (a polite word for 'retard').

and it's in their HANDBOOK.

not that it should have to be.

so you are saying that mcdonalds should have forseen this criminal act as a possibility and spent hours to train each manager to avoid this type of scenario?

what happened to common sense? there should be a point where, the individual takes responsibility for what they did, in this case the manager.

Incorrect. The buck stops with the employer/ corporation. McDonald's are liable on this.

If you're talking about the employee, what's even worse is that a manager didn't know any better to stop it all.

Her? What about the idiots telling her to do it? They (at least the manager) are the ones in a position of authority and show know better! God, they're all SO DUMB.

exactly, they understood what was going on, just because the manager is somewhat perverted and her fiance is a total scumbag. that's mcdonalds fault?

the fiance deserves to go to jail for a very long time.

This is why you don't teach your children to blindly respect adults everyone has to earn respect no matter what age.

A factory worker does a faulty install due to negligence on a service line at a car manufacturer. This faulty install causes the death of over 100 consumers.

Who gets sued:

The auto company?
or
The factory worker?

Also, McDonalds wouldnt have to devote hours training for this specific situation. How about they do the following as training:

If there is any criminal activity suspected, do not take any action until an officer has arrived.

that's the factory's BUSINESS, yes, the company is responsible for doing their job correctly because that's what they company is expert in doing.

your analogy does not hold true.

this is a criminal act on the part of 2 individuals that had NOTHING to do with the daily running of McDonalds.
