Shoot, I stopped dealing with rude kids years ago.  If I have problems with them I will correct them just like I do my own.  If the parents don't like it, well then they need to put a leash on them.   I have done it countless of times at stores where the parents just let them run wild.  One time a the store a little kid (about 7 or 8) was running up and down the aisle darting in front of my buggy.  I almost hit him several times.  So, I finally had enough and told him to stop running around and behave.  Well he ran off and about 2 or so minutes later her comes some untidy looking woman in a moo-moo and demanded if I yelled at her kid.  So, I told her very bluntly, " I am sorry madam, but if you would take charge of your heathen instead of letting him torment other customers then maybe he wouldn't have to be told to do so by someone else.  Or better yet if you would decide to be a parent then maybe you could train him right.  But do not blame me for your bad parent skills and or the lack of educating yourself in the proper manner befitting a parent."  She stood there and stared for about a minute then walked off taking her child with her.  To me it is rude to let your child run unattended therefore it allows me to be rude in correcting another persons child.
