Seriously, the kid is screaming for mama and papa, and my ears are starting to bleed

Kidnapped child screams for help while bystanders do nothing.

I bet you're not in the US. Train's way too expensive here for that shit. Unlike a 2 hr $200 plane ride when you can generally suck it up .

All these comments. How on earth you ignore a kid even in tantrum? Not givin in does not mean you still wouldnt try to calm him down

My sentiments exactly, especially in a crowded train car full of people that paid good money for a peaceful journey.

Was the child throwing a tantrum, or legitimately upset? I have seen both. I can be hard for bystanders to tell the difference sometimes.

8 years ago | Likes 64 Dislikes 3

She seemed legit upset, her cries were forlorn and sad, not angry and frustrated:/

How do you tell the difference? Legit curious.

Hard to say. It's often something unique you learn as a parent about your own child.

Yes, depends on the kid. You can't reward tantrums...it's like negotiating with terrorists. It's tough in public, but gotta hold ur ground.

So if your child is screaming that they want to eat candy even though you've already told them no 5x before you're just gonna give in? What?

Possibly a child with autism who is overstimulated. If so, the best they can do for all involved is ignore.

Statistically speaking, it's much more likely it's an annoying child whose parents aren't dealing with it.

Or they could be starving and that kid is dead now because no one bothered to share their salad. For all the good assuming does, it doesn't.

Haha. I can tell most of you don't have kids. No worries, I too said this garbage before kids. You never give into their tantrums.
