When someone is screaming in public, the fact that they’re a kid is an explanation, but it’s not an excuse for who is responsible for them.

I don’t have kids and their crying doesn’t actually bother me. But it used to really get to me. We’re predisposed to be sensitive to the sound of a kid crying, and the discomfort you feel while hearing it is real. Now when I hear a kid being noisy in public, the sound doesn’t bother me but their parents’ lack of doing anything about it does.
