Children are the joy of all parents and give a smile even to those who simply adore children and would
like to start a family. But for many other people, children are a source of embarrassment. For example,
there is an increasing tendency to limit certain restaurants to adults, totally excluding the presence of
children: many customers complain to parents about unruly children who risk spoiling the evening with
their cries and the excessive volume of their tablets.
There is an ongoing debate about the matter, and
the people in this story will only fuel it. You will tell us which side you are on at the end of the
story…Two men openly complained to a woman in a sushi restaurant because they were annoyed by
the cries of her one-year-old child. One of the two men was so outraged by the lack of respect shown
and the lack of cooperation from the parents that he decided to film the scene with his mobile phone.
Naturally, the child’s mother defended herself against the attack and started filming the situation as
well. It all happened inside a Japanese restaurant in Las Vegas.
«That’s what happens when someone goes out for dinner and brings very noisy children with them,»
said one of the two, addressing Fiya, the little boy’s mother. «This person here has a child who makes an
incredible noise!» the man continued to comment while filming the whole thing. children in public
places, this does not seem to be the case here. The woman had gone to the restaurant with her 13-year-
old daughter and one-year-old child and, apparently, it was the latter with her shouting and screaming
that had annoyed the men.
The mother was particularly disturbed by the incident: «I was shaking, I didn’t know what to do or say.
My instinct told me that if I did something crazy it would get us in trouble, so I took out my camera and
started filming. But just before I started filming, the man in the white shirt made derogatory and racist
comments which I do not wish to repeat at this time,» Fiya said. The men were then evicted from the
restaurant thanks to the intervention of the police, who asked them to leave.
A particular and regrettable episode, therefore, where a mother was forced to face the rudeness of two
men in the presence of her children. What do you think of this story?
