The incident sparked a lot of conversations from netizens online who discussed what soft parenting is.

Jessica Nightingale defended the lady by saying:

"To the offended parents in the comments: if you're not going to parent when you're kid is being a nuisance to the rest of the public space y'all are SHARING with others, then someone else will."

Cherish❤️ mentioned:

"Hello parents in the comments section saying she did wrong please don’t give me unnecessary headache."

BaronessOyin explained:

"Have you ever wondered why Nigerian children are often so well-behaved? It’s simple. One thing you should know is that Nigerian kids don’t misbehave easily because there’s a network of eyes watching."

Jess posted:

'To the “You can’t do that” blah blah people. If you can’t control it in public , leave it at home 🤷🏽‍♀️ Simple.'

Tablespoon71 commented:

"I would appreciate this so much as a parent. Sometimes they just don't listen to us and a stranger is scary enough to get them to listen 😂"
