Maine, US : Darla Neugebauer is the co-owner of Marcy’s Diner in Portland, Maine. She and her diner has recently become the center of a massive controversy after Neugebauer yelled at a screaming child.
The mother of the child, Tara Carson, wrote about her experience on the diner’s Facebook page, which triggered a swarm of comments arguing about whether the owner had the right to yell at the patron’s crying child.
Here is how the owner of the diner responded:
It doesn't end there, the owner of Marcy's diner, refused to let the controversy die down, the next day, the diner’s page addressed the incident again, writing that the screaming child didn’t stop for over a half an hour.
Opinion is divided over whether it was right of the owner to scream at the kid who was disrupting the peace of establishment. However, parents with young kids have their own point of view as well.
And, shame on EVERYONE who is slamming the diner's owner for screaming at the kid

Whether I was at fault or not, I would not approve of a complete stranger yelling at my kid. https://t.co/I1Ut0enfxi

Currently on FOX News: Asking people at a diner if they would yell at a kid who had been crying for 45 minutes at another table #priorities

@TODAYshow #YesTODAY As a fan of the diner it is a small space and I might have left if the kid was crying that long. #OrangeRoom

I'd be lying if I said I didn't kind of appreciate that diner owner telling that kid to stop screaming.

Kid beside me at diner is playing tic tac toe quietly by himself. I suspect all you other parents might be doing it wrong.
