A “cognitively impaired” woman with Down syndrome was taken from her home by a salesman in a bid to make her buy a car. The questionable gesture left the vulnerable person’s mother completely outraged. The incident prompted discussions on discrimination awareness and accessibility ethics.
Taking to her Facebook page on July 17, Angie Martin, a working mom of seven, shared a candid post recalling the “terrifying incident” that occurred at the Honda dealership in Abilene, Texas, USA.
“I’m still shaking from both fear and anger,” Angie wrote. “I’m posting on behalf of Hope, as well as on behalf of our local Upside Down Club community and the National Down Syndrome, National Down Syndrome communities at large, as well as others who have additional needs in our world. I’m an advocate, through and through!”
