What is bad parenting? A kids (whose age is unknown) gets away from parents in a crowded area and climbs up on stage. Every time something happens is “bad parenting” rather than “Oh, the kid was holding a hand and let go and ran off and the parents chased them but crowds inhibited them from catching them so their child did something making them a bad parent.” It’s a busy restaurant and if the kid slips away and the parents can’t get to them, then that’s one thing but if the parents are there and watching then that is bad parenting. My granddaughter went with us last year and was dancing with a character. She was 2 at the time and we were standing back taking pictures and she went and touched the character because, well, she did meet and greets and was able to do it then, but then a cast member told her not to do it. When kids see one thing, like getting to hug a character, that is what they then expect. This kid saw an animatronic and thought, maybe, that it was a meetable thing. Boundaries don’t matter to little kids. But, again, if the parents were aware, then it is BAD PARENTING, but if you lose sight of your kid in a crowd for one reason or another then that is not. We don’t have all the information and this sight doesnt’ give all the information.
I was thinking the same thing, possibly a child that has never been told no…………Of course it may have not been this reason, but parents need to keep more control over their children when they are not at home

Another example of bad parenting. Ban them for life! I am so tired of all these entitled people.
