My aunt relayed a story about how some young kids were running/jumping/generally misbehaving near the edge of a cliff area at the Grand Canyon. The parents were ignoring the kids, so my aunt told them to stop. I certainly think that others do have the right, and even the duty, to take others' kids to task when the parents aren't parenting, especially when safety is involved (whether kids are running toward a cliff or walking on table tops at Disney World).
One young child, I think around age 4, fell off a cliff in the Grand Canyon and died a few weeks after we were there years ago. Apparently the child climbed around one of the metal fences when the adults weren't paying attention and the edge gave way. How sad.
