"Is This Okay in a Theater?"... Witness Account Sparks Controversy

A newly-born baby brought to a movie theater by a couple has sparked ongoing criticism online, is that right?

Recently, a post surfaced on social media claiming that a couple was witnessed watching a movie at a theater with a newborn baby.

According to the author, the couple fed the baby formula and even burped the baby during the movie screening.

The author claimed that when the baby began to fuss, the couple asked nearby audience members to move aside and tried to soothe the baby down the stairs of the screening room.

The author pointed out that while the exact age of the baby was unknown, it appeared to be around 4 to 6 months old, questioning whether it is right to bring such a young child to a movie theater.

Domestic movie theater admission regulations allow infants and toddlers to watch movies rated for ages 12 and 15 and above as long as they are accompanied by a guardian.

However, among netizens, criticism continued with reactions such as understanding the desire to see a movie but emphasizing the need to consider other audience members, and arguing that making a baby stay in a dark, noisy space for over an hour amounts to child abuse.
