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

A couple who brought a newborn baby to a movie theater has drawn a wave of criticism online, is that right?

Recently, a post was uploaded to social media claiming that a couple was witnessed watching a movie while bringing a newborn baby to the theater.

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

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

The writer stated that while the exact age of the baby was unknown, it appeared to be around 4 to 6 months old, pointing out that it is inappropriate to bring such a young child to a movie theater.

Under domestic movie theater admission regulations, even infants and toddlers accompanied by a guardian are allowed to watch movies rated for ages 12 and 15 and above.

However, internet users reacted with criticisms such as understanding the desire to see a movie but emphasizing the need to consider other audience members, and arguing that leaving a baby in a dark, noisy space for over an hour amounts to child abuse.
