The Elephant in Adelaide not a place to let your daughters socialise

You think that your 18 year old daughter is going to be ok whilst out on the town...
You do the parent thing going through the do`s, don`ts and the just in cases with her because you never know what could be waiting around the corner...
But what happened this Saturday night makes my blood boil...
Night Clubs really need to start treating our kids as kids not as cattle....
My daughter was sitting with her group of friends minding her own business when a security guard grabbed her by the arm and started heading her towards the door....
She asked him what he was doing and the response to follow is ridiculous....
He needed to clear out some people so that they could get more in as the queue outside was building....
Who cares!!!!!!!!
Not you obviously....
What right do you have to throw an 18 year old girl out on the street ALONE......
These night clubs make rules up as they go along...Got to get the numbers up don`t we and not worry about the consequences in doing so...The patrons, well they`re just a number aren`t they.... Well you STINK "THE ELEPHANT" in Adelaide....
Thankfully a young lad came to my daughters rescue as she was beside herself crying and scared not knowing what to do. He walked with her to find some other friends which she was able to contact by phone....
Makes me want to go down to this club and slap the security guy fair and square in the face....All I can say is thank god someone was watching over my daughter that night and nothing serious happened to her.....
And as for you first time parents with young daughters going out to night clubs here in Adelaide, keep in mind "The Elephant" as a no go zone as they aren`t kid friendly....
My daughter will NOT be going back so you`ll have one less to worry about in your queue!!!!!!

  1. I can't believe the idiot apeman took your daughter by herself and not the group! The idea of booting some people out so some others can come in is ridiculous isn't it! But that was a very dangerous and foolish thing he did, and I'm just so glad that it didn't end more horribly.
    I hope your daughter and her friends find some better places to hang out.

  2. Ah yes, she was spotted NOT drinking Mandy. If you behave like a hoon and swill your drinks like you're looking for trouble then you're welcome to stay.. But if you're pacing yourself, taking it easy..or 'god forbid' you're the designated driver then you're absolutely NOT welcome to stay.. It's quite disgusting behavior on the part of the clubs

  3. Mandy, I would hate to think Tempo was right. Disgusting abuse of power and should not be allowed.
    Thankfully, your daughter is safe. I don't envy you having children of that age.
    Thankfully, your daughter is safe my friend, thanks to the behaviour of a socially responsible young man.
    Good to have you posting xo

  5. My first thought was she wasn't spending enough money to warrent staying. You feel like complaining to management but you know it wouldn't make a difference.
