It certainly isn't the parents' right to allow their children to run around
the store and be a nuisance to everyone, which is exactly what happensNot to
mewntion the fact that the children could be snatched by a predator. It is
the child's right to be kept safe and to be disciplined. If kidsw aren't
kept in check, they will be disruptive lesewhere.
