Unsupervised kids at reception can make party turn sour quickly

August 26, 2006

DEAR ABBY: I am a professional disc jockey with more than 30 years' experience. I am on radio, and also entertain at weddings and private parties on weekends. Over the years, I have been amazed at the number of parents who take small children to wedding receptions and then proceed to turn the toddlers loose while they kick back and enjoy themselves.

Last weekend, such parental lack of supervision, combined with adult stupidity, had disastrous consequences.

I had just played the “first dance” songs and was playing a song for the bride, who wanted to have a special dance with her grandfather. About midway through the song, a woman came running to my table saying, “There's something wrong with the air! My throat is burning!” I looked up and the bride was holding her hand to her throat, gesturing at me to stop the music. About that time, about half the crowd started running for the door and out into the parking lot.

A minute or two later, one of the staff informed me that someone had let loose pepper spray into the hall. They threw open the doors and windows and, after 15 or 20 minutes, things began to return to normal.

It turned out that someone had left a key chain with a small canister of pepper spray sitting on a table. A child about 4 years old, who was running loose through the hall, picked up the key chain, saw the shiny container with a button on the top – and pushed it. Talk about a great party stopper. Most of the guests who left the room never returned – and all because someone left his or her kid unsupervised, running amok, and because an adult with cranial-rectal syndrome left a container with a toxic chemical on a table where a child could pick it up.

Please, parents. If you must bring a child to a reception, make sure that child is properly supervised. Otherwise, get a baby sitter and leave the child at home.

DEAR VELVET VOICE: I hear you loud and clear. Now if the guilty parties will pay attention and not tune you out, perhaps fewer adult festivities will be ruined.

I agree about the unsupervised children. By the same token I must say that leaving a pepper spray canister unsupervised is no less irresponsible than leaving a firearm in a car. It is the owners responsibility. Did you hear about the law enforcement officer that recently left their firearms and tactical gear in their vehicle only to have them stolen?

I am bored without the competition threads. Even a coffee in the Cafe, when no one is around is no compensation!
