I conducted a non-scientific survey about children who leave the table with their families and roam around restaurants unattended. I found the following results: an overwhelming majority of diners at restaurants (in the Outback genre) claimed unattended children (ages 4-10) had a negative impact on their dinning experience. Nearly all the women in the study noted a concern for the well being of unattended children in restaurants.
Allowing children to leave the table appears to be a growing social trend so much so that many restaurants have posted signs prohibiting the behavior.
What factors contribute to parents and families to allow children to mill about restaurants unattended?
