CA restaurant fines parents HUNDREDS for kid's bad behavior

A Northern California restaurant, Chez Xue, has implemented a policy to fine parents for property damage caused by unruly children. The owner cites years of disruptive behavior, such as children running through the dining room and inappropriate diaper changing at tables, as the reason for the decision. While accidental damage is not penalized, the restaurant enforces charges for reckless behavior, including a notable $327.03 fee for a damaged credit card reader. The owner emphasizes that this is not an "anti-children" campaign, but rather an effort to maintain a respectful dining environment. KTLA's Andy Riesmeyer reports.
