There are ways to not make it a perp walk, they don't bother trying to keep it quiet.
Kind of hard to keep "a team member being escorted outside by a police officer" quiet.

This happened in another state yet the same thing happened at our store except the employee didn't commit suicide like this young man did. The AP was actually smiling after doing that. I guess it's just another thing Target likes to do to their hardworking, min wage, loyal employees. I don't think they would ever do this to an ETL though and less likely they'd do this to a DM.Being AP..there's something big missing in the news story. It doesn't make sense knowing our policy, something had to happen the news isn't saying

The problem with folks on the high end of the spectrum is they often can function very well within certain parameters.
They may be socially awkward but as long as what they need to do is well defined and the parameters are laid out they can excel.
Most people who have those kinds of conditions are fiercely loyal and care deeply about what their jobs.
Just don't get in their face or drag them out of their comfort zones.
I am speculating here.
I don't know the circumstances so I can only guess but I'd imagine that if they grabbed him and took him to the office, no matter what the circumstances, he went into defense mode.
A very extreme kind of fight or flight that we all experience but that he had no control over.
If they had called his mom and had her come down, it might have gone differently but he's technically an adult so that wasn't going to happen.
It's ugly and sad, all the way round.
Handled badly and without thought for someone who had no way of really defending themselves.
From my personal experience unless you are officially disabled the company doesn't care what your issues are. Now that's not to say that no one cares because some of my ETLs have been very supportive and caring. But as far as I can tell unless they get a tax credit for hiring you you company policy is you get treated like everyone else even if its very clear you have an issue such as mental illness or autism.
That's the problem. We just don't have enough facts about this particular case.
The only thing that had me confused was that he was handcuffed, arrested but NOT charged with anything.
At the end of the day, no amount of money from Target will bring her son back. Until we hear the whole story, which we probably won't, it's kinda hard to point fingers.

I can't believe some folks are denying the existence of the "walk of shame" in this thread.
One thing you need to know is that the "walk of shame" is not an official policy.
One thing that people who think it is an official policy need to remember commie's line.
ALL STORES ARE NOT THE SAME.
I still want to know how this young man enlisted in the army and if mom would have sued them had they driven him to kill himself.
