[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 217181"] Here's my two cents. I am less judgmental and more tolerant, I think (but, of course, I'm biased). However, I wouldn't let my kid scream for 15 minutes in public without removing her from the situation. For one, she's obviously distressed and staying in the situation isn't helping. For another, it's just rude to the other people - not just the people standing in line, but in the rest of the mall, too. It's like going to dinner and having the kid behind you kick the back of your seat the entire time. And I certainly wouldn't send a little one to stand that far away from me in a crowded place even if I was watching. No way could I turn my back on her. As far as the friend, she was probably feeling embarrassed and uncomfortable which made her defensive. If they didn't want anyone staring, she certainly shouldn't have left the little girl to stand so far away because it seems a circle of concerned adults surrounded the little girl wondering why she was crying and where her mother was.
