CHICAGO (STMW) — A diner at a Gage Park neighborhood McDonald’s is suing the fast food giant, claiming her young child ate a used condom he found in the restaurant’s play area.

Anishi Spencer filed the suit Wednesday in Cook County Circuit Court on behalf of herself and her young sons, Jacquel and Jonathan Hines.

Jonathan, then 3, and Jacquel, 2, were visiting the restaurant at 5733 S. Kezie Ave. on Feb. 4, 2012, when they allegedly found the used condom on the play area floor, Spencer claims in the suit.

The mother claims Jacquel later coughed up a piece of the condom, the suit says. Both toddlers had to receive medical treatment because of the incident.

The suit accuses McDonalds Corp. and McDonalds of Illinois of failing to properly clean hazardous debris from an area used by children.

It also blames the restaurant chain for not using surveillance or inspections to uncover any “deviant activities” at its eatery.

A message left with spokespersons for the Oak Brook-based corporation were not immediately returned Wednesday night.

The three-count premises liability suit claims negligence, and seeks compensation for the children’s medical treatment. It seeks at least $50,000 in damages.

My bullshit detector is going off. Usually it's pretty good, (see Balloon Boy and Vaccination Girl.)

Either she left her two and three year old alone and unsupervised in a McDonalds playground where they were free to start masticating whatever they found on the ground or she's fucking blind. I'm not speaking from experience but I imagine eating a condom is not a very easy thing to do, either the kid choked it down whole or he was ripping and tearing at it for a while. Considering he allegedly coughed up a piece of it later he was most likely gnawing at it for some time. The mother didn't see them in the act but saw enough evidence afterwards when he conveniently coughed up a piece of latex she could clearly identify as a scrap of condom?

The story of the condom at the fast food restaurant has been done. I don't think there's ever actually been a legitimate case with most of them ending up being a lie to get some money out of a corporation with deep pockets, a harmless prank, or an urban myth.

Sure two year olds put all sorts of crap in their mouths but this story doesn't seem very convincing.

No way!
It's clearly visible in that map, that South America isn't even bordering the Indian Ocean.

Also, the City of Argentina, Colombia, seems to be too far northwest.
