An unfortunate incident in an Istanbul fast food restaurant highlights the plight of refugee children in Turkey.
Last week, Turkish newspapers reported on an incident in Istanbul which you might not have heard about. It was pushed as one of those sign of the times stories.
According to one article, a young Syrian boy was assaulted by a manager at a branch of Burger King in an Istanbul neighborhood. Why?
The hungry child was seen eating french fries left over by a previous patron.
Eyewitnesses said the boy, who was apparently homeless, was eating french fries from discarded trays and collecting leftovers when the manager of a Burger King in Şirinevler on Istanbul's European side approached him and started slapping him before throwing him out.
Customers at the fast food
restaurant were appalled by manager's reaction. They immediately recorded the details
and used social media to publicize them. The photos showed the child with a
bloody nose, sitting outside the establishment.
