The latter would be my guess.

You don't go into a (probably) crowded restaurant and let a three year old just wander off. But then that was probably the ;last straw too, after who knows what misbehavior.

Eli and his brood mare apparently don’t have their own standard of disruptive behavior so they must rely on others. Perfect Obama voter types.

There is probably more to the story. I don’t think cops were called because a 3 year old wandered off one time.
Some kids that young just should not go to a sit down restaurant.

I’m not the parental police. Reporter said the children were ages 1 and 3, but I would suspect the youngest was closer to two after watching them run around - and it was 9:15 at night when they arrived at the restaurant and ordered. Dad was interviewed on TV and said he felt “disrespected”. They weren’t Amish but couldn’t quite figure out the accent - certainly wasn’t Texan.
I would suspect that the kids were really wound up as children sometimes tend to get when they have missed a nap or bedtime. Mother appeared a bit clueless.
We rarely go to Appleby’s but I don’t recall seeing too many really young children there, particularly that late at night.

As soon as a person says the word “disrespect” all my sympathy goes away. Use of that word says a lot about attitudes and probable behaviour.

I believe Miss Quigley is quoting the parents. I take it that Ma and Pa have come to expect 3 year old Junior to just jump up and run from the table at any moment because they have not taught him to sit still and OR ELSE!

I suspect their kids are being deprived of corporal punishment...
To: Morgana
I generally avoid Applebee’s. Most of the ones I’ve been to, the adults were acting like disruptive children.

its just the oppisite...children are dispised, at least in this country....that's why people don't have children anymore....
child free housing...child free airplanes...child free restaurants....
people used to LIKE having children around....I still do....when I got married a long long time ago, children were still welcomed and celebrated...not spoiled, but cherished...
don't know about this situation, but Applebees calling the cops?......insanity...

Why does the restaurant take action and apologize later and even invite these little hell kids back? I've been in a restaurant where the kids of parents from hell are dining. "The Village" should not have to put up with your spoiled uncontrollable child. If you can't control him, don't take him out in public.
People used to stop at our table and compliment us on how well behaved our children were. That's probably never happened to these incompetent idiots who will most likely now sue and win.
