My good god. Totally unbelievable and indeed humiliating for that poor kid, especially if he/she sees that poxy video some years later when he/she grows up and feels totally embarrassed.
Also toilets, both the fixtures themselves and the rooms/ environments they're in can be quite scary and intimidating to many kids, ASD or not. Even peripheral devices installed in the same room such as loud hand dryers and even light fittings (or much rather the lack of working ones) can be an even bigger nightmare for them than actually having a wee or a poo. Certainly was for me on occasions as a little kid.
I thought videoing/photographing kids toileting, bathing, masturbating, being in the nude, etc was a serious offence anyway, especially if intended to end up on the likes of YouTube, Facebook, etc for viewing by all and sundry, especially being fair game to serial paedos, sadists, etc.
That barsteward of a dad should hang his head in shame!
I also find it unbelievable that incidents of full-on abuse of people with ASD are still rarely reported or discussed right now in these more enlightened times of the 2020s. It's as if many are still of the opinion that we should be seen and not heard.
We've already got BLM (Black Lives Matter), but how about ALM (Autistic Lives Matter) as well?
