Seems to me that there might have been a better way to handle this.

That's hardly an actionable policy suggestion.

Indeed, it's not a policy issue.

I disagree. Setting aside my feelings on the policy, a behavior occurred, a policy was enacted, a behavior was changed. Making it objectively a policy issue.

Your desire for it not to be a policy issue seems to be the driving factor for why you don't think it's a policy issue. Seems like circular reasoning.

Maybe I'm missing something though, I'm open to elaboration on why curtailing misbehavior on public grounds with a policy is not a policy issue.

What was the policy that made parents raise their kids right?

I am kinda done with conversations where the respondee ignores everything said then repeats a baseless subjective response that obviously reflects their personal bias. You are only talking to yourself, there is no interaction occuring between you and I. Nonetheless I'll reply once more and provide you with more questions that you will give no thought to. Maybe share a SpongeBob meme this time, people like SpongeBob memes.

I am aware of no publicly enforceable policy on child rearing outside of social services, which is poorly funded. Are you able to define, globally, for all parents the definition of what causes a child to be raised "right"? It's rhetorical, of course you can't because no one can.

Bringing up the parents and playing "the blame game" is inevitably going to lead us to a discussion about social support programs to help struggling families. However to me your comments seem like lazy concern trolling, you are "greatly concerned" about the parents, yet I assume will oppose all programs to help make their childrearing easier.

So let's test my theory, since you are concerned about the parents involved, which social programs do you feel should be expanded in order to help those families?

But that is a bit of a hard question, I suggest ignoring everything I asked you and pasting a one-liner question, similar to how you replied to my previous comment. Lazy. Predictable. Boring.

I apologize I came off as a troll, I was reading the comment thread about how parents should raise their kids and the response comment about the way parents raise their kids isn't a policy issue. I didn't see anything in the article about how a policy changed the way parents changed their kids behavior to fix the issue.

I believe we just talked past each other as the policy fixed the problem of bad behavior occurring in the library during those hours which is true.

Who needs logic? They have strong feelings!

I get where you're coming from, but I think anything concerning human behavior and how they use the services absolutely is a policy issue.
