My question is how much power does the FA really have over the kid/parent... Just because you escalated it to the FA, doesn't mean she can tell the parent to instruct the kid to stop... Afterall, what can you do? Move the kid? Moving yourself is definitely the most proactive option, but what happens when you can't.... If a guy is a big enough jerk not to tell his kid to stop kicking, then why would he listen to the FA?

I guess, my point is, how much power can an FA really have over a situation like this? I am hoping that the FA actually can do something, but deep down I have a feeling this would be a losing battle to fight...
