4-year-old boy banned from doughnut shop for asking overweight woman if she was pregnant

Little Justin Otero innocently enquired with the overnight customer as to whether she had a bun in the oven. The woman, who definitely was not with child, did not seem to be offended by the boy's question, especially after his mum, Rebecca Denham, had apologized.
However, staff at the Doughnut Inn eatery, in Monroe, Connecticut, took exception to the youngster's conduct and have banned him from going in there. And when the mum and son returned the next morning, they were allegedly told to leave.
Mrs Denham said: "We were screamed at in front of the door, ‘he's not allowed in here, he's rude'
"She said, 'he's not allowed in here,' and I looked around, and said, 'him?' and she said 'yeah, he's rude.'"
Despite her best efforts to explain the situation, Mrs Denham has said her son only "sort of" understands.
She added: "Some people, unfortunately are quick to pass judgment, and therefore we will take our money and business elsewhere."
Media outlet Eyewitness News tried has contacted the owner of the shop, but they declined to comment.
