Should a shop ever ask a child throwing a tantrum to leave its store? John Lewis recently had to apologise for a asking mum with crying child to leave one of its stores. Mum Lindsay Robinson said she was shocked to be asked to leave the Trafford Centre branch when her 16 month old child had a tantrum. She told the Manchester Evening News she was told it was because of "complaints" from other shoppers. John Lewis said it had "written to formally apologise to the customer" and said an investigation has been launched into the incident. What do you think - is there any occasion where a parent should be asked to leave a shop because their child is misbehaving? Stephen got the views of writer Tina Calder and journalist Niamh Horan
