Well lets see , something along the lines of seeing a child about to seriously injure themselves or another person.I can see using that theory.Otherwise between friends say at a bday party or something , I could see a friend fo the parents keeping a child from getting in volved in a dangerous situation or hurting themselves.
However , when it comes to discipline, there is only one person who can and should dispense it.The parents.
It is a shame to see a child acting out in public , especially when the parents appear to be doing nothing about it.But really we don't know the relationship between the parent and their child.
And if it comes time that something should be said , NEVER EVER should it be said to the child.It would show much better form to confront the parent about the situation...."excuse me , could you take your child out of the theater?" , not what was it "shut up NOW!" or somesuch!
I am lucky that my children are good for the most part , but there come times in every growing childs development that they feel they have to push the limit and see how far they can get away with something.And there come times when the "hard look" gets ignored.It happens and how the child is dealt with is ultimately the PARENTS decision to make.
