CBS News v. IBD

Living Crohns · 10 months ago · 58 views

I have to post because I’m outraged. CBS News posted a clip/ video/ segment whatever on a woman who has been turned in by a lady because a female jogger has been seen pooping in her yard / the neighborhood once a week for over a month. Now yes, I agree this is gross. The lady apologized once and I’m sure was embarrassed when she was caught doing it but the comments on the Facebook post have me upset. People were telling her to wear a diaper, stay inside, they would kick her ass if they saw her do it. You don’t know her. Yes, she could be doing it on purpose. But I feel like if she was doing it intentionally 1. You would know the lady 2. She probably wouldn’t be doing it in daylight where she’s seen. I was diagnosed with Crohn’s when I was young and I cannot count the times my mother has had to ask me if she needed to pull the car over because she wasn’t sure if I would make it home. Granted we lived in the middle of the country and it was a decent drive home from the grocery store. I never took her up on the offer, but still.. I have found that a healthy diet and lots of exercise will keep my Crohn’s at bay and I fully support anyone, whether they have an illness or not, to make healthy lifestyle choices. Yes, urinating and deficating in public is a crime, but who is to say it was intentional? For you to want to beat someone up for something they could possibly not control is horrible. If this lady was to have IBD or something along the lines, she is going through enough to not deal with your comments. Rant over.
