[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You did the right thing and all the people posting here and sock puppeting don't want to be called on on their terrible parenting. These are the people you see out and about with uncivilized feral children. They don't want to have to be called out or forced to do their parenting job because they're so lazy.[/quote]

I have posted several times in support of the idea that OP was wrong to approach the child, and direct her comment at the child.

If what OP describes is accurate, that an adult was encouraging their own child to shriek, then the person "misbehaving" was the mom.  A kid doing what their own parent is encouraging them to do, can't be considered to be misbehaving, at least not at 2.

If OP had approached the adult, and said, clearly but politely, "That sound is painful to listen to.  Can you please not encourage it?"  She might still have been sworn at, but I would still support it.

But OP didn't call out the parent.  OP reprimanded a child for doing what their parent (reportedly) was encouraging them to do.  [/quote]
