Oh my, that thread is awful!  Everything that's wrong with DCUM.  People being told that the guards were just doing their job and their kids must have been running riot and sanctimonious posters saying that their kids have never been reprimanded in a museum because they are perfect and never do anything wrong!

Well, my kid wasn't doing anything wrong either!  He's a mellow, laid back kid.  He's the rare three year old that you can take out for dinner and he'll sit happily and entertain himself for two hours in adult company.  Not to say that he doesn't have tantrums but if he does we immediately remove him from the situation.  So for a security guard to yell at him for something he didn't do and then tell me to remove him when he cried momentarily (and understandably) was galling.

But even if the guards are just being over zealous in protecting art, why do they care if there is a little noise like a few seconds of tears?  If either of my kids ever make a scene I immediately take them outside, but this guard acted like you weren't meant to even speak above a whisper.

I'd like to complain, but I don't even know where to start to make sure it's effective.[/quote]
