Have you ever been frustrated by how your family has been treated on a day out?

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Suspecting they'd been over charged, Kim Sze asked to see the receipt after ordering breakfast at Coffee Supreme, Christchurch.

What she didn't expect was to read a strange insult targeted at her two-year-old daughter, Micah. Instead of asking for a name for the table, the receipt showed that staff had called their table "Family with the terrifying kid".

Sze said Supreme Coffee's management had "apologised profusely" after she contacted them, but she was still frustrated about how young families can be treated when they go out.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
