Mom horrified after 5-year-old son finds hidden camera in Starbucks bathroom

A woman who had taken her son to a Starbucks was shocked and appalled when her son discovered a cell phone camera recording video of the women’s restroom.
“My son used the restroom first and I used the restroom after him,” she said. “I noticed he was staring at the sink a little bit perplexed. I asked him what was wrong and he said, ‘Mommy, why is there a phone under there?’”
She looked under the sink and saw that a cell phone had been placed under the sink and propped up with paper towels so that its camera was pointed at the toilet.
“The deputies discovered that the cellphone was running in a video-recording motion,” said Lt. Joseph Fender with the Lancaster Sheriff’s Station.
It is not yet clear who the phone belongs to, where video was sent, or how long it had been recording.
“They were able to get some type of surveillance video from the location, however I don’t know what the contents of the video are at this time,” Fender said.
Starbucks spokesman Jaime Riley has since released a statement saying, “We are disturbed by this incident and take our obligation to provide a safe environment for our customers and partners (employees) very seriously. Our store partners took swift action as soon as they became aware of the incident by immediately alerting the Sheriff’s Department of the situation.”
