A few days ago I was at my local library sitting on a lounge trying to read a novel.
A boy of about 4 or 5 years was making loud noises - squeals, farting noises from his mouth. His behaviour made it impossible for me to continue reading.
I waited for him to stop but he kept going on and on.

I don't know about others, but I see a library as a place you go to read - a sanctuary where you can escape into a novel, do some research and enrich the mind.

After about 5 minutes I snapped and told the kid to shut up. The kid ran away and did just that.

I think people need to be stricter with children so that they learn what they can and can't do. Making disgusting noises in a library is one of those things that kids should learn quickly not to do.

Does anyone support the action I took with this child?
