The response from the "responsible adult" standing right next to the car was that he was only a kid. I remind him of his responsibilities as the kids parent - needless to say we had a free & frank exchange of views!!


I hate the "he/she is just a kid" response- particularly when the little beggars are sat behind you in an aircraft. My standard response is to very very politely say "He/she is not just a kid. He/she is YOUR kid and I don't want to share him/her. Please get him/her under control".. Usually works but some parents are as feral as their kids. They sit they with earphones in and phone/ipad on not giving a XXXX what their monster is doing.
