I think it says a lot when children at their ages are allowed to run around a store by themselves and their parents not able to find them. I find fault in a parent when this happens.
My hubby and I are raising our 6 year old grandson (Seth). Since we visit friends and family that have puppies and older dogs, Seth was taught to respect animals. It doesn't matter to me if the dogs are in their house or at mine, he has to be taught respect or he will grow up not knowing how to treat animals. The is no way I would allow him to misbehave and treat a puppy rough at home or anywhere else. Now that we have Gordon, Seth realizes he can't mistreat him, and helps with Gordon's training (he goes with Gordon to puppy class).
Sorry , I don't see these kids have respect at all....and I don't blame the kids, parents have to teach it.....it isn't something they are born with. Doesn't seems like they are even taught to respect her, since they are allowed to roam free in a store without her knowing where they are.
