Cynthia Gonzalez, the TreatWell spokeswoman, said in the statement that Alison Ettel, CEO, TreatWell Health, decided to quit her job as she wants that “The company, the staff, and the patients need not suffer due to any situation which is an outburst of an escalated moment.”

Ettel is calling as “Permit Patty” over the web, following the video captured by the mother of the child, causing huge outrage. On this Ettel during the talk with Huffington Post told that she was not threatening them by saying that she will call the cops, she was just pretending as she indulge into conversation with the mother-daughter duo on Saturday, outside a residential building, not due to any racial discrimination but just due to reason that the duo was loud enough to disturb others.

Gonzalez said, “We must know that it is never the intention to harass or disparage the child and her mother. However, it is just a heated moment which leads to a critically incorrect choice made by our ex-CEO.”
