Australian mall, Dee Why Grand, located north of Sydney, has told customers that screaming children “will not be tolerated”.
The shopping centre, which claims to cater for young families, has brought in a new policy after complaints were made about noisy children.
The notice from centre management reads “Stop. Parents please be considerate of other customers using the food court. Screaming children will not be tolerated in the centre."
Brenda Mulcahy, the centre’s manager, said both staff and customers had complained about children “running amok” and “screaming” in the food court, located near the playground for children aged under five.
“People deserve the quiet enjoyment of their cup of tea,” said Ms Mulcahy.
“Mothers have to be more responsible. We have had so many complaints,” she added.
Do you think society is becoming more and more intolerant of children?
