An amusement park has offered to rehire a special needs employee after his co-worker took to social media to lambaste the company for firing him.
However, Christopher Emery's mother Claudia told The Allentown Morning Call she doesn't want her 29-year-old son to return to Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom in Pennsylvania, US, because of how he was treated.
"Why humiliate him twice?" she said. "It wouldn't have changed. It would have been the same thing. Chris is Chris. The whole interview was not set up for special-needs people, that's what it boils down to."
Christopher had cleaned bathrooms at the park for 12 seasons, and his mother said he looked forward to the job. But this week she was told he didn't do well in an interview and wasn't being rehired.
Mrs Emery said it was heartbreaking trying to explain to her happy son that the interview wasn't a success.
