韓國時報:韓國當地法庭近來宣判兩個餐廳應該對兩名兒童分別做出1000萬和4700萬韓元賠償(約合人民幣5萬7千元及27萬元),因為這兩個孩子在該餐廳用餐時被燙傷.于 是,有很多飯店及餐廳開始拒絕帶孩子的客人,以免承擔類似責任.

The Korea Times: A local court recently ruled that two restaurants should pay 10 million won and 47 million won to two children, respectively, who were scalded while dining. One child ran into a restaurant employee carrying hot water and another was burned by charcoal fire.

Once the verdict was announced, some restaurant owners started to refuse customers with children as they didn't want to be held responsible for any accidents their child could cause. This issue has emerged as a hotbed for online debate ever since.

Korea isn't the first to join the movement. In two U.S. states, Texas and Pennsylvania, restaurants have banned kids, while cafes in Berlin have created child-free zones for their patrons. Some have even barred strollers, which are considered safety hazards in densely populated areas such as malls or restaurants
