an "unsupervised adult" is rarely loudly running about knocking into (and breaking) things and making a nuisance of themselves
It's far more common than you're suggesting... doubly so for the nuisance part.
Kids aren't that hard to focus, man.
You should tell that, in person, to their parents or guardians
I work with special needs kids everyday. A lot of parent's don't have the skills or tools to be effective, and a lot need in home care, but I assure you, children are not difficult to manage, but people on the outside rarely understand what they are seeing. Is a kid crying at a grocery store? They must be out of control! or did you just miss the kid bonking their head on the cart? Maybe the kid is sensitive to bight lights, or noise, or maybe they are just tired of being in a cart or walking around a store and shopping is incredibly boring which is why it's a chore. Kids aren't that hard to deal with. but you have to get what the kid is responding too, not just wag your finger in distain.
