I was in a Jersey Shore restaurant recently and the parents had a little kid along. The kid was normally rambuctious: standing up on the chair and occasionally misbehaving. But the parents’ overreaction to the kid was completely uncalled for. Yelling, screaming at him until my teeth rattled and my husband called for the check early, lol! So it works the other way sometimes.

In most states, they would be arrested.
