WAYNE, N.J. — A mother is speaking out after she claims her 2-year-old daughter was deliberately ignored by a Chuck E. Cheese employee on Saturday at the Route 23 location in Wayne, New Jersey.
The family was attending a birthday party at the Chuck E. Cheese location when the alleged incident took place.
"There were a bunch of caucasian children ... that were on stage that received a high-five. My Black child was the one to get ignored," Safa's mother Natyana Muhammad told New York City ABC affiliate WABC. "That was my first time actually witnessing someone, you know, ignore her or make her feel like she's invisible," Muhammad said.
"Our mission is to provide a fun and a safe place Where A Kid Can Be A Kid, and all cast members are trained to ensure that we live up to this promise," the statement added.Muhammad said she was displeased with the initial response to the incident. This incident comes in the wake of a report from another family in July who said that their children, who are Black, were ignored by costumed employees at Sesame Place in Philadelphia.
