Kid Stealing Other People's Belonging At A Restaurant, Mom Still Protecting Him After The Victim Scolded Her Child

From the glorified /r/AmIthe*sshole/, I recently found another "It's just a kid" and their Karen mom drama again. Picture this: a kid, about 9 or 10, turning a crowded restaurant into his personal playground. Yelling, cartwheels, the whole nine yards.

Now, our protagonist is seated in a booth, minding their own business when the little rascal decides to make their hat his new accessory. Sharp words are exchanged, and the hat is returned with a side of embarrassment. But oh no, it doesn't end there. Our OP decides to school the young daredevil on the art of not taking other people's things without permission.

Here's where the plot thickens. The kid's mom, who's been blissfully ignoring her little hurricane, finally notices the storm brewing at the neighboring table. She storms over, declaring our protagonist the villain of the piece. "Leave her son alone," she demands. 

The family drama unfolds in a family-friendly restaurant, leaving us wondering: is it fair game to scold a mischievous child for toying with personal belongings, or should our protagonist have let the hat hijinks slide? Read more to find out!

OP goes straight to the point, no formality whatsoever

The scene is set for a disaster
