Since that happened about 4 years ago I am VERY VERY careful about disciplining my children in public.

wow- that's crazy-seems like there are some serious childcare issues going on-surely focussing on those who are ignoring/encouraging their childrens misbehaviour are the ones who need to be investigated?!

on our last trip to wdw, we saw a whole family climb over railings at dhs-the cm had to literally escort them back to the correct entry point-not only breaking rules, but dangerous-so if your parents behave in this way, well, what chance do the kids have?!

there were certainly many instances where children were unruly and the "adults" simply ignored them.

in por, i noticed many young children (under 10) wandering around on their own-i would never have let my children be on their own-in an unknown environment-even if it is disney.
