But what if you have a well behaved 4 or 5 year old?
How about heathens aged 6 - 12?
Simply banning based on age as opposed to behavior is just as bad as saying in a different example: "Oh...you're a (insert race or creed here) family, your kids will be little shits/your kids will be WELL behaved" and as such opens up the discrimination can of worms.
On the other hand, what I propose is part of an established but no longer practiced standard of "Management reserves the right to refuse service to anyone". Of course this needs to be defined in order to NOT be considered discriminatory so the posting of rules of behavior and the penalties for their violation would be needed.
I just see the potential for messy lawsuits on the horizon with the age ban.
The idea of no kids after say 6PM would be the only answer with balance here.
