Kid of about 15 months just wandering round Caffè Nero. She's very interested in the hot drinks on low tables. She's approaching other people and playing with their phones. Mum is completely oblivious on her phone. FFS supervise your toddler!

“Excuse me, your child is trying to grab hot drinks. Can you keep her at your table please.”

I’ve said that before. No one punched me in the face. And the staff finally paid attention and also chimed in.

You’re watching a dangerous situation. You have a voice. Use it.

And you are on your phone here

Presumably she doesn't have a toddler that's wandering around begging to be scalded

Go over and say 'where's your mummy?' I find this usually works.

Why are you telling us like we’re in Cafe Nero with you? Say something to the mum?!

What did you hope to achieve from this post?

Very odd indeed
