Not going to answer cause something like this actually happened quite a few years ago at the K H. Only it was a very undisciplined child rattling change in his pocket entire meeting. And the “sister”/ mom never took eyes off the publication. 
 

Told my mom I was going to the ladies room or I was going to take a bat after the kid.

If it really bothered you, there were a number of ways it could have been handled. You could have told an attendant. Sometimes mums tune out. (I know I do). So a kind word from an attendant may have diffused the situation. Or if you felt brave you could have quietly asked her yourself, in a kind way, something like “not sure if you noticed but *insert kids name* is rattling coins in his pocket and I’m having trouble concentrating.” Or, if you’re not feeling brave move to another seat quietly and without fuss so as not to offend. (Usually seats up front are best if you’re sensitive to children’s noise as families tend to sit at the back, and there’s usually 2 rows free at the front of the hall!) I just want to say that it’s VERY hard with children at the meetings, it’s good that mum was there at all. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I would be mortified if my child was disturbing someone and I hadn’t noticed so it would be so appreciated if someone told me, a quick reprimand for the child to behave or when they get home they’d lose TV privileges or something equally devastating to a young child would suffice. Anyhoo, back to the game.

Answer: ATTACK DOGGY!! I realllllly didn’t want to work with them anyway.
