    She fled with two children, but none in the photo?

    If there were a photo of the children with their faces recognizable, it would be illegal to publish it. They are not the accused and there is no parental permission.

    I know it doesn’t matter but I would love to know what the argument was about. I mean, they weren’t even inside the theater yet. Hmmmmm.

    Some people are just acting crazy these days. Just give it a few days and there will probably be video of the incident posted somewhere.
