Not sure about "larger louts" (seems a bit fattist to me)
but screaming brats, or "children" as we call them, have
as much right to be on a train as you do (assuming they
are not in the quiet carriage). With the best will in the
world, children sometimes make loud unexpected noises and
even responsible parents cannot - and indeed should not -
expect them to remain mute on a long train journey.

I do. If you can't control your offspring don't let them out in public.
