Right, ask the parents of the child killed in the Sun Dial how much fun they had.
Is there no low to which you won't stoop? Or are you just being deliberately obtuse?
Because clearly MY post referenced ADULTS.
I don't have to ask how they feel. I know how they feel. Meanwhile, folks like you are busy crucifying them on social media in order to feel better about your own parenting skills .

If you want to discuss adults having fun in restaurants, wouldn't a separate thread be more appropriate for that? Have respect for the deceased child for gods sake!
I'm thinking a LOT of these posters wouldn't be all that much fun to hang out with.
I eat out a lot and I have pleasurable experiences. Then again, I do not feel the need to be the fun police to other adults around me.
YUCK!
Fun police? What are you talking about?
I've had outrageously good times eating out with friends and kids and none of it involved roaming around the restaurant, or crawling under the tables...
Though, to be fair, there is this one friend who doesn't believe it's a fun time unless he's taking a whiz in your kitchen sink, or putting the make on someone's spouse, or causing a commotion of some sort.

She's one of those people who has to get the last word in and has the mentality of "if I say the same thing over and over again I must be right." It's a miracle how kids survive!

Oh sure, have fun! Don't let child endangerment interfere with your good time plans.

Phil, is that you?
I can't rep you, so I have to quote you. You gave me a great laugh!!
I still remember...middle kid about 3. Christmas time pass through a dept store. Everyone holding hands. Start to leave the store...one kid short.
Sitting on a step half way through the store - "you losted me"...Got praised. Had been instructed if ever separated to sit and wait for us to find her...not to move. And she did. But how you lose a kid you are holding hands with? Got me but it can be done.

Everyone writing about disruptive, unruly children banging into waiters, running into restaurant kitchens, disrupting other patrons. and so on, should have started their own threads a long time ago. Your irrelevant jab at the parents would fit perfectly into their syndrome.
FACT: This 5-year old did not deserve to die. He was entirely too young to have any possible idea about the dangers of this rotating floor and pinch points.
FACT: Every child deserves to have parents who take every reasonable precaution for their safety.
FACT: We live in a world where some parents don't adequately supervise their children, and even excellent parents can be momentarily distracted
THEREFORE: Businesses should also take every reasonable precaution for children's safety (well actually, all patrons' safety).
I find it senseless to discuss whether this 5 y.o.'s death is the fault of the parents or of the restaurant. First line of defense would have been parents keeping the child seated at the table. FAILED. Second line of defense would have been restaurant design ensuring no possible way for any person to have gotten trapped in that pinch point. FAILED.
Both are to blame.
