I have seen children throw shit at their parents in a restuarant in the middle of a temper-tantrum when they wouldnt listen to the parents talking to them. The parent slapped them on the behind with one swift swat. 10 minutes later the cops showed up because someone in the restaurant called the cops. It is a lose-lose situation anywhere in public if the children are not disciplined from the beginning. I do blame part of it on the parents for not disciplining from the beginning. However, society and what is 'right' has made everything so much harder because the people making the rules do not have kids to worry about.
