It depends on the situation and how it was handled. There is a good chance that the stranger would get a facefull from me. I know my kid better than any stranger.

i can't recall that ever happening to me, or my kids. i have 5 kids and we very often get great compliments on their behavior. i usually respond with, you are witnessing a good moment, we are not always like this!

if someone had to step in and reprimand my child or children i would probably be thankful, apologetic, and then give it to my kid again.

i very often tell children to walk for their own safety. i can only say that i would be shocked if that angered another parent. 

you should be ashamed if other parents are often "parenting" your children for you.

 I'm not okay with it but I guess it depends on the situation
