PC gone mad or the right decision?

[Sidewinder2]

Mum with baby refused entry to 15 film

Wonder what people make of this. Personally I think the cinema is in the right and why would you take a kid that young to the cinema for mother and baby days if, as in her own words it "has no idea what's going on".

How does a story like that make the headlines.

Yes the cinema was right.

Under 15, not allowed to view film, non story I'd of thought.

Bairns that age sleep for 18 hours a day.

Aye, this.

It's a shit enough experience as it is imo...

Stupid bitch.

Mine was awake for 25 hours a day at that age. At least that’s what it felt like.

Right decision, otherwise where do you draw the line - 4 weeks, 4 months, 4 year olds......

 

[Fairfax Ave]

Cinema was right.

And the other 6 they scran, scream, puke & shit

Sneaked my 4 yearold in to watch The Cult of Chucky last year..........subsequent social services and physiatrist visits aside it was well worth it......8/10

But a baby FFS!

This. As Cineworld says, it's just a standard age restriction law. If the film was a 12A or lower certificate, it'd be different.

You could always sit behind if that makes it any better, pictures were right though if its a 15 rated film then no kids

 

[007Iron]

Could she not have waited until they were showing a 12a?

Went looking for trouble, the troublesome hag.

Mrs Buckley said she had been to the cinema before with her other child to special "Babes in Arms" showings where infants can attend screenings in the morning and afternoons with parents.

I take it this was not a "Babes in Arms" showing, so that statement is irrelevant. It's entirely the correct decision from the cinema. I'm not even sure it's worth debating, let alone running to the press in the first place.

The Light (cinema in Bolton - and other places) do Baby Friendly screenings.
I think the lights aren't as dimmed and people take their babies along. I think it's a great idea for parents to get to see a film they otherwise might not be able to.

If however you're thinking about taking a baby to a screening that ISN'T baby friendly, you should rightly be turned away.

Another entitled parent who thinks the world should revolve around her and her children. I can just imagine the clucking that was done on whatever tedious mother’s Facebook group she’s on.

So the daft bint knew about this and STILL tried it! What an utter berk

I think I might put it on Angry People in Local Newspapers!
