Donovan O'Neill with his family

It’s not too difficult to feel bad for this dad. He did what many, many parents have to do- bring a child of the opposite gender to the bathroom.

Unfortunately for Donovan O’Neil, three security guards apparently didn’t take kindly to him bringing his daughters (ages one and three) to the bathroom at all.

The department of Social Services in their area doesn’t have a family bathroom. At age three, most kids after saying they have to go potty it means you have about five seconds to find one (at least in my experience).  So, naturally  due to his wife being busy he took his daughters to the restroom.

“He banged on the (stall) door like he was a cop,” said Donovan O’Neil. “He was just really inappropriate about it.”

The scene that occurred Friday morning turned ugly, O’Neil said, when the guard reprimanded him outside the bathroom in front of a crowd.

“We would just like an apology, that is all,” said wife Ashleigh O’Neil, the girls’ mother.

While,  the reaction of the guards was overdone in a way you can see where they were coming from (doesn’t make it right).  However, there are moms that do the same exact thing and they aren’t  accosted. Instead it’s understood and  not a huge deal.
