Where should society draw the line on kids in bars?

I don't think the problem starts with the bars.  It shouldn't be the bars responsibility.  It should the parents who have enough respect and love for their children to not want them in that environment.  I have 2 boys, ages 6 and 8, and feel that little ones should first off, not be in a place where drinking is going on, but also shouldn't be out in a restaurant at 9:00 pm.  Little ones should have their bed times, and also, I like to go out at 9:00 myself without hearing little ones screaming.  That is why I chose to go out that late with my husband.\n\nParents need to think more of their children and what's good for them.  They need to take their job as parents a lot more seriously.  They need to put aside their wants for the benefits of their children's health and safety!

I would think that kids would be under the human right act. They are human too. I guess it would depend on what form of discrimination you are asking. Perhaps if you are more descriptive it would help. Some people don't realize that kids have rights to and have feeling.  Best of Luck

Whew! I agree with both.\nAs long as you don't have any issues against you.\nNotify the police, Children and youth, and your local Court house, and have the police go with you to grammies and take your child home.

Depends on extent.  \n\nIf it is life-threatening then there is some logic although the trouble will always be in defining the extent.\n\nForce feeding a kid until they are ill = yes\n\nSupersizing their burger = no\n\nNow we just have to define the line between.\n\n\nOnce we have got that sorted what do we do about parents that don't buy the safest car, move to a safer city, haven't provided padding to any sharp bits in the house etc etc.\n\nThere are no easy answers just extremes with an undefined line between them.\n\nEducation rather than punishment is the answer if there is one.

Check with local/state laws.\nSome places have a minimum age under which a child cannot go door to door without parent supervision.

It is the responsibility of the parents to monitor and control their children's use of this site, or any other, in my opinion.\n\nSome of the younger members of this site are valuable contributors, and should not be banned.\n\nIf you don't want your children here, keep them out.\n\nIf you see abuse here, report it, regardless of what age you think the poster might be.\n\nIf you want to keep children away from anything related to sex, drug-use, foul language, etc, you'd better keep them home from school, away from TV, and off the streets, too. Sad but true.

The public has a right to be protected from idiocy in their community. Much like the traffic law that helps protect you by requiring vehicles stop at red traffic lights instead of driving through them and t-boning you and ripping the bones out from under your skin, children too need protection from the foolish and inconsiderate.

It is a matter of respect to there patrons.  If a child was to walk in, the parents would not wish for the child to see to pr0n on display.  I do not believe it is against the law but it is the shop discretion as to what is appropriate to be displayed.

Assuming the bar is owned by a private person/entity and assuming the bar is not discriminating against you based on what is called an immutable trait (Race, Sex, etc) then they can pretty much refuse service to anybody they want.

Ummm, for alcohol, NO!  Are you serious?  Because if seriouslly you mean that, then there is something WRONG with you!  It's bad enough with adults drunk...must we get kids drunk, too???  I'm sorry, but there is honestly something wrong with you if you're going to ask that!  I am DISGUSTED!  Alcohol is awful and immoral and it should be (like steele said) prohibited!

In Ireland you can take babies into bar and lounges until 9:30pm. Sometimes you see mothers in the pub with babies in their strollers. Its ridiculous

I don't think it's socially acceptable, then again it depends on the circle you run around in including the age group. Hope that helps\nCheers\nM7

gang bangers?\n\nIf you report to the police, then that should keep them away for some time and some distance. But the only thing you do as your part, is to talk to your children about drugs and how it will affect their family, friends and themselves in future.

They tell the kids not to drink and then they do it?  Go out with your buddies any other night but try to convince them not to go drunk to the prom.  I am 17, and like most 17 year-olds I know what a buzzed person and a drunk person looks like.  Even if they don't get fired, kids will lose respect for them if they do something stupid and obviously drunken.

From my experiences kids that have attended christain schools of any denomination tend to revolt at about 16 or 17 years old. I would bet that drug use and other frowned upon activities are higher in these kids than in those at public schools.

the last two have it right.  All the states set the drinking age but in any state anyone drinking under the legal drinking age is in violation no matter where they are.  Also your parents are technically contributing to the delinquency of a minor which is also a crime.  However, I think this is one of the least enforced laws nationwide until parties and stuff get involved.  A drink with your parents at dinner wont get looked at twice

Will depend on local ordinance.Check first with local authorities and police.Even if you don't serve alcohol,You are still liable to all the rules and conditions by allowing consumpsion on your premises.Especially those that rules to protect minors.Beware that nudity and drugs are two sides of same coin
