If your kid had my Dad for a father, she would have behaved like an angel in public when he was within eyesight. Guaranteed! Past bedtime and in front of a camera? I don't think so.

Then you would be wrong.
You must not get out much.
There are families whose children never behave and there are families where the children are always well behaved while out in public. The difference is in the time, effort, and effectiveness of the parenting.
The training has to take place before the kid is in front of the camera, so that being well behaved in public is a habit that continues, even when the kid is tired. This is a four year old kid, not a two year old.
She should have put more effort into teaching her kids to behave in public and less into selecting their outfits.
