Just another reason to avoid McDonalds

Gives new mening to the term "Play Place" and "Secret Sauce".....eew

I will NEVER again spend another dime at that location. I hope they go out of business.

"Digital Penetration" That is new to me . Can someone explain? Does it have something to do with an Iphone. There must be an App for that!

If patrons of that particular McDonald's can do anything to assist those four employees, please let us know how to assist.

fingers

I wont be going there either.....men who do crap like this to high school kids or any other persons should do some serious time, those mgrs and owners should of taken this seriously and fired him on the spot

If this scumbag walks away from this, I will never buy from this McDonalds again.

I had no idea such things were happening at that location! I don't think I'll be going there ever again! The one on Algonquin Rd isn't that far and will be the new location of choice!

What happened to innocent until proven guilty? You're going to punish a business before they even go to trial?

the scumbag is no longer there im happy to say.....I called there last nite to find out.

It is very frustrating that the very places we enjoyed as children and our own children and grandchildren are also enjoying are getting just as dangerous as the schools and churches. No where is safe from these monsters. And shame on McDonald's for not taking this seriously until now.

Jail the putz.

This is in no way the fault of McDonald's corp, there are criminals and weirdos working everywhere.

This guy could use a good neutering and some jail time..

I am done with this place. McDonalds is not doing a great job on their background checks. Hiring sickos! I understand each Mcdonalds is privately owned, but the perv, the owner and the corporation needs to be punished. This is NOT ACCEPTABLE and this case can not be pushed under the rug.

So the police found there was not enough evidence to prove this man did anything, and the attorney for the women files a civil suite and does a PR blitz in the media. Hmmm... How do you spell EXTORTION! And shame on the Patch for running a story based on a plantif's attorney- aka "ambulance chaser" You just destroyed a man's life and the credibility of the business owners.

Read the article before making ridiculously acusations. "The allegations were previously brought to the Palatine Police Department in November of '12, but no criminal charges were filed. Palatine police Cmdr. Kurt Schroeder said an investigation was conducted in the case, and it was determined there was not enough evidence for the state's attorney to proceed with a successful prosecution." To everybody slaming the manager, the owners and McDonald's corporation are also accusing the Police commander of Palatine of covering up a crime. Let's see, the police do an investigation and deem there was not enough evidence to file charges. Since the attorney of the four women making the allegations could not get the case brought up in criminal court because THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO BACK UP THERE CLAIMS the attorney for the plaintiffs hired their own investigators to dig up enough evidence to try to squeeze money out of the owners and McDonald's Corp.

In America, I thought you are innocent until proven guilty. Anybody with half a brain, who has eaten at that McDonalds and knows how much the owners care about their employees and give back to the community will see this is nothing more than a disgusting money grab by the attorney and her clients.

If the manager, owners or McDonald's Corp were guilty they would be sitting in Cook County Jail waiting arraignment and arent b/c there was not enough proof

Not enough evidence, as is the case with most criminal sexual assault/rape cases. Just because you know the owners, or just because they give money to the community, doesn't mean this incident didn't happen. It's the manager in question, it's the hiring/training procedure in question, it's the procedure in question regarding leaving an adult alone with younger kids/adults...it doesn't take a half a brain to figure that out. It's called public awareness, we have a right to discern information and most certainly have a right to act accordingly. To simply say, "not enough evidence, it didn't happen" and walk away is more harmful then anything. At the very least, management should provide training on how to avoid these situations, report them immediately, etc. I still feel, and have every right to feel this way, that there is some truth to what the girls claimed. Innocent until proven guilty doesn't work the same way in a civil law suit.

I personally know one of these victims and she is a wonderful, honest, and generous woman who would give her last dime to someone who needed it more. She is an exceptional person and I am truly disgusted to hear what has actually happened. Please do not support this establishment and demand justice for these women. This is despicable to think that this manager is still employed by the company and possibly doing this to other women!

Maybe you should get your facts straight Melissa. If you read up on your facts before making your false comments, you would know that the manager doesn't work there anymore. Seeing as how your comments are incorrect, it is very understandable that you personally know one of the accusers or victim as you say. I find it despicable that we live in a country where you are guilty until proven innocent. So sad to see all of the uneducated ignorant people that are so easily swayed. For anyone else reading all of the silly and idiotic comments posted to this article, do yourselves a favor, and read the facts and evidence! The FACT is there is NONE!

Cindy, that could easily be said about yourself as well. Just because there is no evidence, doesn't mean it didn't happen...as is with MOST sexual assault/rape cases. We don't live in a country where you are guilty until proven innocent...so maybe get your facts straight. And by the way, who said our judicial system is perfect? People walk away even after being prosecuted for a crime. Most cases of crime are repeat offenders. That person that molested a kid probably lives within a mile of you...check it out. So do yourself a favor and educate yourself on what really happens in the real world. One more thing, your third sentence contains two clauses that don't relate to each other...in other words, it doesn't make sense. Sad indeed.

Whew! Thanks Food Guy for enlightening me! It is clear that you have WAY too much time on your hands, judging from all of your comments above. I had wondered what the educational level was of the majority of people commenting. It's crystal clear in your case!! I find ALL of your comments to be laughable at best. Please do everyone favor and keep your idiocy to yourself. Although, I did have quite a good chuckle!! Thanks!!

Wrong again!! An M.D. AND Ph.D trumph that!! In case you don't know what that means .....I am more educated than you! As always, thanks for a good laugh! I'm officially done with the childish banter - get a life Food Guy!!

Wow Cindy, for someone as educated as you claim to be I find it pretty pathetic that you resort to name calling as a defense mechanism. You are acting on the same level as my 9 year old son does with his classmates. TAKE THAT! You are solely basing your opinion on how you feel about the people who own the McDonald's and not leaving any opportunity for doubt. Just because THEY are "good people" does not mean that this didn't happen, you, however are just the ignorant and pompous person who basis the legitimacy of something as horrendous as this on your feelings. Maybe you should go back to school and take some classes to freshen up all those degrees you have because I'm pretty sure all the education you've received wasn't based on feelings. And if you find it despicable to live in a country with a justice system such as ours (guilty till proven innocent) do us a favor and take all your knowledge and degrees elsewhere!
