Not everyone has a cup or bottle in their car to pee in.
Maybe parents who have a 3 year old who can't walk a few feet to a toilet should be a person who keeps a container to pee in, in the car as standard equipment.
Children generally start to develop good bladder control by the age of two. A three year old who is freshly potty trained, as claimed by the mother, is far behind schedule.
From mommy's entitlement attitude, there is a very good chance that she escalated a verbal warning into a citation. I notice that the citation wasn't actually for peeing in a parking lot.

I wonder if those who are most horrified by this young boy peeing in the parking lot are actually parents.
I'm not at all horrified by the incident and I am not a parent. I think sometimes a mother or father can get caught in an emergency situation where their toddler has to 'go' and there isn't time to get the kid into a restroom. The mother was pregnant; cleaning up the floor of the gas station if the kid couldn't hold it until he actually made it to a toilet might have been physically difficult for her. And I don't blame her for choosing the parking lot instead of the inside of her car.
I have allowed my (leashed) dog to urinate in some parking lots on occasion, not on the pavement but on side areas where there is dirt and trees or bushes.
At the statue of liberty they have one place with bathrooms and a big *** statue between you and it. And my 4 year old who has been potty trained for 2 years had to go NOW. So my husband took off running with him and my kid is screaming and my husband pulls him behind a tree and pull his pants down and my son still pees all over his shirt and his pants and his shoes and its 40 degrees and drizzling and we are on an island with no extra clothing. And sometimes there is no other option.
Dang, now there's a visual! I honestly think if I heard a kid screaming and turned to see a man running off with him and then pulling his pants down behind a tree, I'd be lighting into that guy with everything I had before he'd even have a chance to explain anything.
I can only imagine the aftereffect if someone happens to go by a car and the father inside is trying to get his son to pee in a bottle.
Apologies to everyone's husband and kids here in advance.
Bad judgement on officer's part. The lady did everything she could to prevent this. (A 3-year-old may be too old to be classified as a toddler. I'm not sure what the cut-off age is).

LMAO maybe howling is a better word than screaming. and when a 3 or 4 or 40 year old is on the verge of peeing themselves, aiming that fire hose into a bottle would be nearly impossible. Maybe a pee bucket...then you have to empty it. This all seems so ridiculous!
