A mother whose toddler threw a huge tantrum in the middle of a café because he wanted a cake claims she has been shamed online by the restaurant's owners.

Kate Raine took her two-year-old son to the new Tyme Coffee Lounge in Glossop, Derbsyhire, to meet some friends but said ended up having full blown tantrum because he wanted a slice of cake - and not the toastie she had bought for him.

She now claims to have been 'shamed' by the café online after they issued a post which said: 'Screeching children should be taken outside until they can behave'.

Mother-of-one Ms Raine now claims to have been 'shamed' by the café online after they issued a post which said: 'Screeching children should be taken outside until they can behave'

The post on the company's Facebook page said: 'We would like to make a comment about the behaviour of some small children today.

'We appreciate that mums come along and bring their children, we do ask that the mothers respect the other clients in the coffee lounge and when their children are screeching and screaming and having tantrums, we would ask the mothers of these children to take them outside till they can behave.

'There are other clients who come for a peaceful relaxing time over tea/coffee and probably a light snack. They do not want to listen to unruly screaming children whose parents cannot keep them under control.'

The post, which has since been deleted, added: 'We send our apologies to those customers who came to Tyme Lounge this morning and had to put up with the screeching and screaming of the children.'

When the comments were met with a negative response from other mothers the post was removed.

But not before it had been copied and shared in a Facebook group where dozens of angry parents have criticised the cafe.

One said: 'Quite aside from it being completely unprofessional we all know as parents we have some extremely sh***y days and to be publicly shamed like this is despicable.

'It really has angered me we should be supporting each other through the crap times and celebrating the good times not this shaming and blaming.'

Ms Raine responded to the claims made by the cafe owners on Facebook, saying she was 'in floods of tears'. She said was feeling 'deeply upset, embarrassed and like a terrible mother'

In her response to the cafe, mother-of-one Ms Raine said: 'I don't know whether I am more angry, upset or embarrassed but what I do know is I am in floods of tears.

'I decided to try out your establishment with some friends that I hadn't seen for while. I am very sorry you were annoyed by my son behaving like a typical two-year-old, but I am afraid he is a typical two-year-old.

'If it was really such a problem a polite word would have been appreciated, instead of making not so subtle comments to your staff about how terrible screeching children are, some horrible looks and then posting this.

'Out of the group of us my child was probably the most unruly and recognising your deeply unwelcoming feeling, I left your establishment and my friends behind.

'I would like to say your food was delicious and the women serving behind the till were polite, friendly and welcoming. However, you have left me feeling deeply upset, embarrassed and like a terrible mother.

'Don't worry about me coming back, as I will never be setting foot in your establishment again.'

Cafe owner Shaun Donohoe said that while his co-partner and business manager should not have made the comment on Facebook, he agreed with what he said.

Mr Donohoe said: 'The screaming and screeching was so bad that we had three people walk out saying they weren't putting up with that racket.

This is the new cafe in Glossop, Derbyshire, where the tantrum occurred earlier this week

'The parents we had in just seemed to let the children do what they want, they were screaming and screeching and the parents just sat there. They should be able to control them and be considerate to other people.

'If it was my children I would take them outside and explain how they need to behave.

'One of them was on the floor rolling and screaming and when we've got people walking around with hot drinks it's dangerous.'

He added: 'We love children and we want families to come in but children have to be controlled.

'I'm totally shocked by the comments from some of the mums and it's all gone a bit overboard. Many of those commenting weren't there to witness what happened.

'They have taken our message totally wrong. It was not our intention to upset anybody. We welcome families and we want children here but people must be considerate of their surroundings and who else is there. Now if that's wrong then shoot me.'

Ms Raine, who lives in Glossop, said she has been 'overwhelmed' by support from other parents.

'I have to say I was a little shocked and very upset when I saw their post,' she said.

'The reaction without me even saying a word was amazing and it was this that finally prompted me to respond.
