Noisy Kid Hit at Theater


A Washington Man fed up, punched an obnoxious ten year old in a face, for causing a disturbance during an airing of Titanic 3-D. Given the noisy children and the call for "brat bans" where children would be banned from certain places or at the very least could be escorted out, an event like this would be only inevitable.

In a situation like this, there are no winners and no heroes. The parents obviously seemed to be unable to control their child. The child seemed to have no concept of common courtesy and obviously no respect for the fellow patrons in the movie theater. And obviously, punching a child in the face for a theater disturbance would not be the best way to handle such a situation.

More and more, children are becoming more disobedient and more obnoxious in public settings, as parents sit by, only making the slightest attempts to discipline their children, if any attempts are made at all. Given more and more, parents are just leaving children to their own devices, taking little interest in them, it is obvious that this would happen.

Punching a ten year old in the face might not have been the best way, but given that there were a lot of noisy movie goers, this could have been the straw that broke the camel's back. The man, named Yong Hyun Kim, punched the child right in the face, for being disruptive and throwing popcorn.

It was something that occurred right in a moment of rage, but it will cost the man big, due to the second degree assault. The ten year old child in question suffered a knocked out tooth and a bloodied nose as a result.

When people head to the movie theaters, they want to have the best possible experience and obvious no one in this situation is going to come out well. Regardless this noisy kid getting hit at the theater was something that should serve as a lesson to many.
