Christopher Emery's mother tells the Allentown Morning Call she doesn't want her 29-year-old son to return to Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom because of how he was treated.
Emery has cleaned bathrooms at the park for 12 seasons, and his mother says he looks forward to the job. This week, she was told Emery didn't do well in an interview and wasn't being rehired.
