Does anyone else find it worrying that someone can carry off a screaming child seemingly without causing any concern?

My family had something similar when my sister was younger. She was having a tantrum in the supermarket, so my Dad (in a similar way to Bateleur) picked her up and carried her outside. All the way she was crying and screaming "I want my Mummy". No-one said a word or queried my Dad about it at all :/

(I should probably clarify that this isn't a criticism of Bateleur! But I've heard a number of stories like this, and it always surprises me... although to be fair, I'm not really sure that I'd say anything in a situation like that either :/)
