HOUSTON – A child who was denied access to a restroom at a Houston gas station is now at the center of a police investigation after his family says a video of the incident was shared, leading to bullying at school. The report was filed after the child’s grandmother went to police regarding what the family describes as a humiliating situation at a Fuel Depot on Bellfort Avenue. The case is now being reviewed by the Houston Police Department’s Crimes Against Children unit. The department tells KPRC 2 that the case remains under investigation, with no other details available for release.

The situation came to light after the boy, a middle school student, refused to return to school. Family members later learned other students had been teasing him after a video began circulating. According to the family, the child stopped at the gas station after school and asked to use the restroom but was told it was out of service. He then went behind the building, where surveillance cameras captured the incident.
