I think that it's unfair for staff to assume that kids will be a disruption and therefore should always give the benefit of the doubt. You can always turf someone out if anything goes badly wrong.
I have to say a lot of children behave better than older people (inc. older children and adults), and they don't tend to get drunk and disorderly either.
All that is needed is a set of behavioural standards that are applied universally - e.g. "disturb others' peace excessively and you're out", and that solves many of the issues, including Facetiming without headphones
