As a point of order, I'll note that I don't have kids.
It seems as though two things have been conflated, here. First, that two teenagers who went to see an R-rated movie were ejected because they were with an adult not their parent or guardian - a separate policy that's always been the letter of the regulation with R-rated movies - and this new policy of denying admission to children 12 and under at 6 and later.
While it's true that perhaps the instantiation of the new policy has caused the more stringent application of the old, the two shouldn't be confused with one another.
