THE owner of an American diner who yelled at a screaming child is being praised on social media for taking a stance against parents who ignore their children when dining out.

“Allowing your child to carry on and disrupt a restaurant without any consideration of others, is classless!!!!! I also doubt their child is traumatised. Kid is probably in shock from hearing another adult act like an adult in charge.”

“The owner is an absolute lunatic and screamed in the face of my almost two-year-old child because she was crying ... You have a problem with a child crying then you are not suitable to run a business,” she wrote.

“If it bothers you so much you should have spoken to me and not traumatised my child by screaming in her face. May karma bite you in the a**.”

Choose a side. Go

Oh well at least she got some free advertising for her cafe.

She probably should have gone to the parents and asked them in a professional manner to attend their child or leave the restaurant. Instead of getting letting it go on until she lost her temper.

But hey, it's her restaurant. She ultimately makes the rules. If she's prepared to lose customers that way it's her call.

I feel a 2 year old is old enough to understand that they don't act that way in a restaurant......where others are trying to enjoy their meal.

I disagree. At 2, a child is not old enough to understand.

However, any parent with half a brain should understand that they need to take action on behalf of their child.
