A South Jersey family says they were kicked out of a movie theater because of what they call necessary supplies for their son.

The contraband in question was candy.

The Delsea Drive-In doesn't allow outside food, and staffers didn't make an allowance even though this teen has diabetes.

16-year-old Ben Weidner of West Deptford has Type 1 diabetes and carries with him everywhere a backpack containing insulin, an EpiPen, a juice box and candy to eat in case his blood sugar drops suddenly.
