Were the parents of a 6-year-old cheerleader right to complain about a 'booty' cheer?

Maybe. I'll leave my thoughts in the comments.

• Why is a SIX YEAR OLD child cheerleading n the first place???

Should restaurants have the right to ban 'screaming children'?

Yes

• Seems like the "yes" percentage should be higher - every "no" answer I've read has supported the restaurant's view!

Should she have let her son meet his dying dad?

Yes. She did the right thing. The risk was well worth the reward in this case.

• Her son would have asked questions eventually - she was right to do this!

• As far as I'm concerned, it's your ex-husband's loss if he doesn't choose to be a father to your son. I just hope that when your son gets old enough to ask about his father, you will have the same grace this woman did, and just tell your son how his father behaved, without going on the attack agains …

• It is the ad Hominum logic here that makes no sense. "He divorced his wife, therefore he doesn't deserve to see his child" Your premise doesn't support the claim.

• Unfortunately, you can't force a man to act like a father. I applaud you for at least making the attempt to establish a relationship between your children and their father. When your boys are older, they will understand that it was NOT your fault that they didn't have that relationship.
