Whether it's at the store, the restaurant, or anywhere else public, unattended children are considered — by many — to be a public nuisance. If they're running around, screeching, or pulling stuff off shelves, the consequences can be dire … at least if you take a look at the warning signs posted on many a wall.
So beware, parents, if these unattended children warning signs don't scare you into holding onto your kid for dear life, you could be looking at a new pet, some very loud instruments, and a VERY hyper child.
Take a look at the slideshow below for the world's best unattended children warning signs from stores.
OMG! What would you do if #10 happened to your kid?
