  Rock concerts, ballgames, and cruise ships are strictly for moneymaking and entertainment, they are totally different than a religious convention, especially one that claims to be "christian", So I can see the "show going on in that instance.
  
  
  Something else disturbs me about this whole thing, and only one person even touched upon it.
  
  You can guess what I am getting at."

  you're eating at a large, multi bilion dollar franchise corporation restaurant.

  now, further assume you find a pubic har in your food, or better yet, you find a hair when it pulls your lip as you removed your fork from your mouth.

  now, you suffer no physical harm, no sickness, no tangible harm.

  case dismissed---and the plaintiff is to pay all legal fees incrued for wasting the judge and the jury's time for such a frivolous matter.
  
  Oh and by the way, all money from the legal fees are to be donated to silentlambs and JWD. LOL

  I still think it is frivoulous, and that person is due an apology and a free meal, but nothing else.

  getting in an accident and discovering a hair in your food are 2 different things. One can leave you permanently physically disabled, the other is based on pre-existing conditions, namely the trauma experienced earlier in life.

  But John Doe, like I said earlier, even the cleanest restaurants up to health code are not immune to a stray hair. A "reasonable" person would know that there is no way you can keep something like this from happening, short of requiring all foodservice workers to shave their body bald, and even then it could still happen.
  
  If you are going to make it a health code issue then fine, but if it is due to previous psychological problems, then leave the health issue out of it.
  
  I have found numerous stray hairs in all my years of eating out, and it hasn't traumatized me.

  Also if a "reasonable" person were to side with the plaintiff on this case, then would have to side with other cases such as
  
  
  1. Children of alcoholics who are traumatized to find out their local restaurant serves alcohol.
  
  2. rape victims who are traumatized due to the fact that the bathroom soap is the same scent as their perpetrator.
  
  
  I can think of numerous scenarios like the above that could literally break businesses if 'reasonable" people were going to not discriminate when it comes to personal responsibility and other issues.

  Then you are making the person's condition the focus of your case, that person's condition was caused by earlier experiences. It would not be the fault of the restaurant, especially if they were clean and up to health codes.
  
  If you are going to allow this person to sue, then you should allow the above mentioned post about perfume and soap to sue also.
  
  Many other things too.
  
  This persons problem was caused by her previous life experiences, and it just isn't right and fair to punish the restaurant owner, and that is how most "reasonable" people would conclude. The trick in this case is to get a jury seated that is similar in mindset to the victim.

  do you feel posting on JWD helps or hinders your recovery?

  sometimes i wonder if posting on this site helps me "recover" from the trauma that the witnesses put me through, and have no doubt it does at times.

  no where else is there such a support team of individuals who know personally what you've been through and how you feel.

  but at the same time, i often wonder if coming on here causes me to obsess in a way, preventing me from "moving on" with my life.

  even the cleanest eating establishments are not immune to having an occasional hair in food.

  Sure, but in the above instance, health code violations were not the issue, the issue was the psychological damge that had been previously done to the victim from being molested. If the person were going at the case with that angle, then the health code violation would only be secondary.
