  ...from.....The parents? Who do you think is responsible of educating them?
context: While you aren't wrong, it's still up to parents to keep their kids under control in public. I have 2 small kids and my 6 year old can get loud sometimes. >
  
  The issue seems to be getting a lot worse.
  From my observations as well as research on related topics it seems like the pervasiveness of smart devices among young kids plays a large role. There have been several studies demonstrating significantly decreased emotional regulation because parents are giving iPads / iPhones to their kids when they're upset to distract them instead of having the kid learn to deal with and navigate their own emotions.
  Smart devices are also often being used as a tool to get kids to piss off and be quiet when they're behaving badly (no-one wants to deal with tantrums) instead of taking the time to deal with and discipline the kid. The same thing occurs when kids are hyperactive - instead of being given a talking to and learning the boundaries of obnoxious behaviour, kids are instead given iPads to entertain them.
  None of that even begins to examine the consequences that constant instant gratification will have on their brains from such a young age; kids and teenagers already have huge trouble with understanding the consequences of their actions as it is. We may have entire generations incapable of sitting down and studying because all they've ever known is click -> dopamine.
  Diagnoses of adhd have gone way up and while some of it is due to heightened awareness there's a good amount of evidence that it's being overdiagnosed. I wouldn't be surprised if this was one of the main contributors. >
  
  I worked with 12-18 month-olds and they knew what an iPad was. We would have music and dance time for about 10 minutes and we would show the screen because it usually had the dance with it. They didn't touch it, some would look but not care, but I remember one kid that would just stop what he was doing and stare. When we turned the screen off he would start crying. We still played music, just without the video. I really tried to limit how much video was being shown because of that one kid. >
  
  I just blame both, I think the fact there’s a debate about it shows fault lies on both sides and there isn’t an unequivocal correct answer >
  
  But it is the parents fault if they don’t do anything to teach their kids. Now of course sometimes parents can do nothing to mollify their kids at the time the tantrum is happening, but they can educate their kids afterwards.
  No one else can do that, least of all the child themselves (age dependent). >
  
  100% agree, people also need to stop doing that with dogs. The dog is to blame when it acts shitty not sOmE oWnErS aRe BaD argument only. It’s BOTH. >
  
  While I tend to agree with you, what serial killer had good, loving, percents with a nice upbringing? >
  
  Tbh no matter how well the parents may teach their kids, they turn out bad... >
  
  It's the parents fault as long as the kids are kids.  Once they're old enough to be out and about doing their own thing as an adult, what they do is on them.  100% >
  
  Up to the point of adolescence, it is the parent's fault for failing to keep kids in line. The kid you are referring to is old enough to know better so I agree with you. 
  However, your definition of loving parents seems to derive from the common misconception about good parenting. Being nice and loving parents is not the same as being good parents. It is so much easier to just smile to save face and wish bad things go away than to go through the stress of teaching your kid responsibility. 
  And since you brought up serial killers, ignoring symptoms or signs of trouble in the minds of their children is.. a form of abuse for there are signs, crazy amounts of silent signs you missed during many years of upbringing. >
  
  It's partially the parents' fault. Sometimes the kid and parents just can't help it, though. That's why there are behavioral therapists. >
  
  If a toddler is acting out in public its the parents fault. But I'm talking about the children that have to be accompanied by an adult in public. 
  Once a human being is old enough to go out and about by themselves... they are responsible for their own actions because they should know better.
