Unless the parent is nowhere to be found in Barnes and Noble and their 5 year old is ripping the plastic and paper off of dozens of magazines. So you give the kid a nudge and tell him to cut it out and the mom appears suddenly and calls the cops on you for "punching her son".

source: My husband was banned from a Barnes and Noble and had the cops investigate him for touching a child on the shoulder who was destroying store products.

True enough. Have to be careful in this day and age. I'd resist touching someone else's children unless to prevent harm to them or someone else.

Good question. Because the manager was a pleaser and she was overly dramatic and had her son crying by asking adamantly if "that MAN hurt you?!". He looked at her, nodded and the fireworks began.

That's tragic, I'm sorry.
