In a baffling move, parents decided to bring their young child to a loud rock concert that started at 10 p.m. – a decision that has left many shaking their heads. Over the weekend, these parents were called out by the lead singer of the band they paid to see, the indie rock group, Ghostly Echoes.
Incident Summary
To summarize the incident: the parents placed their toddler on stage to “help him see better.” The longer version reveals that the lead singer, Clara, expressed her disbelief at the unusual sight of a toddler at such a late show and made some light-hearted remarks to encourage the family to leave. The mother, however, claimed that they had been there for hours, even through the opening act, as if that justified their actions. The opening act, which the child seemed to enjoy, had no comments regarding the situation, and the topic of breastfeeding only arose from the parents’ own comments and the ensuing online backlash.
Concerns About Venue Appropriateness
It’s generally understood that live shows can be loud, with amplifiers and speakers creating an environment that isn’t suitable for young children. The music of Ghostly Echoes is anything but acoustic, making it even less appropriate for a toddler to be so close to the stage. Yet, the parents seem to miss the point entirely.
Public Reaction
While some people have rallied to defend the parents against perceived shaming for breastfeeding, this particular case seems to stem more from a lack of understanding about appropriate venues for young children. It’s not about breastfeeding, but rather the questionable judgment of placing a toddler on stage during a raucous 10 p.m. concert.
Commenters have pointed out that while exposing children to live music is a wonderful experience, it should be done with common sense. “All ages” doesn’t equal “bring your toddlers to a late-night show.” This should be a no-brainer.
