WOW! Was just going to post about my first movie...and I'm sure I'd seen movies before it, but this stood out. I was five years old, my Uncle took me to see the movie, "Excalibur" (which was goddamn terrifying btw). I went to the restroom alone, walked out the wrong door and suddenly found myself locked in between two sets of doors, the other set leading outside.
I freaked out pretty good, was pounding on the glass and hollering...probably wasn't there five minutes until some passing employee heard me, opened up the door and suddenly had a 5-year old kid pounce into his arms, crying his ass off. Man I'll never forget that.
Was scrolling down to post that and saw this...the usher not only didn't let your 5-year old brother back in, but didn't offer to go look for his parents...nothing, just sent him packing? Really??
A lot of roaming kindergartners scamming theaters in that area? lol that's just bizarre man, what an asshole.
That'd make the news in this day and age...maybe even nationally, and the theater would most definitely be hearing from someone's lawyer. There'd be hell to pay.
No BS, huh? Five years old?

No BS. It actually happened. I don't know what the usher was thinking - or maybe he wasn't. "Just following the rules, little man. No ticky, no entry!" I don't know how well my brother stated his case, or maybe it was a teen-age usher who didn't see anything wrong with giving a five-year-old his walking papers.
Your story sounds scary, but credit for howling up a storm! Some kids would simply sit down and cry.
