But if we really did disrupt other people, we\u2019ll definitely pay more attention to our volume in the future,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Chan said her son was initially shaken by the incident but has since calmed down.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">She also urged the public to be kinder to children and not judge them too harshly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">\u201cThey are still so young. Whether they were right or wrong, there\u2019s always room for them to grow and change. Please give us a chance,\u201d she said.
