Apropos to the Yomim Tovim – How about children who run around shul inside and outside unsupervised?
The fathers are davening and not watching what they are doing and the children run amok. I know it might make things easier on the mother not to have to deal with the child at home, but at what price?
I personally know of a child who broke his front teeth on Shabbos doing something careless while playing in shul. And I have heard a story of a child who was riding down a banister on outside steps while the father was inside davening. That child died.
