A California small business owner is tired of out-of-control kids in his restaurant, and now he’s making parents pay the price.

You You Xue operates two restaurants south of San Francisco. He told The Post he introduced damage charges on certain bills after repeated problems with unruly children disrupting other diners.

"My staff, my servers were being forced to parent children on behalf of other parents. That’s not their job," Xue told The Post, adding, "Parenting has become so relaxed, and I know if I acted some ways these children are acting, I would have gotten my a-- beat."

The restaurant's online menu includes an advisory at the top of the page beneath the headline, "Please control your children."

RESTAURANT OWNERS REVEAL THE BIGGEST MISTAKE DINERS MAKE BEFORE ORDERING

Some of the forbidden actions are running around, shouting, and making noise with utensils, which the menu goes on to say in all caps, "will not be tolerated."

"Guests not respecting this policy may be asked to leave. We will hold parents financially liable for all damage caused by their children to restaurant property," it adds.

The page also lists specific instances when Xue decided to charge parents for bad behavior. In one case, a child picked up and dropped a credit card machine, shattering the screen. The family was charged $327.03. Another instance saw a child carve designs into a tabletop using utensils. Those parents were charged $109.38 in damages.

The final instance listed on the website read, "A customer's child was playing on the booth seats and bumped a teacup onto the ground, causing it to shatter. We charged the parent $5.47 in damages."

Xue has said the reaction to the rules, which were implemented last year but went viral last month, has been generally positive — though some online felt charging for the teacup went too far.

He clarified to The Post that parents aren’t charged if accidents happen, but he felt the new policy was necessary after witnessing a deterioration in parenting and the behavior of young kids.

"We don’t blame the kids — I’m very proud of the fact that this is an unpretentious restaurant where people can come with their whole families," he said, adding, "It’s to remind this very small group of parents who are not doing their jobs: please do your job so we can do ours."

The viral policy also sparked discussion on "Fox & Friends," where co-host Lawrence Jones argued that a lack of parenting is fueling disruptive behavior. "This is pretty simple. This is not controversial, right?" Jones said Thursday.

He pointed to his own childhood, saying his parents only had to give him and his siblings a look to get them to behave. "My parents, they handled discipline very well. And it got to the point where all they had to do is give me and my siblings a look, and we knew to get into shape," he said.

"That has been discouraged in modern-day society. And so, you got kids acting crazy on planes, acting crazy in stores, kicking at seats. You have them throwing stuff across the room," Jones added.

"The Sopranos" creator David Chase warned in a new interview that political censorship in Hollywood could be on the horizon under President Donald Trump.

"Since Trump, I’ve been concerned it’s only a little big or a hop, skip and a jump up to censorship," Chase told Variety while discussing upcoming projects this week at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in the Czech Republic.

Chase, who created the Emmy-winning HBO mob drama that ran from 1999 to 2007, made the remark while discussing "Project: MKUltra," an HBO series he is developing about the CIA's Cold War-era mind control program, and a separate independent film he said would also deal with the drug LSD.

The writer said he was not especially concerned about conspiracy theorists or right-wing commentators online driving backlash to the project but about a future in which artists face political restrictions on what they can say.

Chase said he was concerned about creatives "being told you can’t say that, and you can’t do that."

Chase agreed when Variety asked if his concerns amounted to fears of a modern-day Hays Code, the Hollywood censorship system that once dictated what could appear in films.

"Exactly," Chase said.

Chase compared his political concerns to his earlier years working in network television, when he said strict rules controlled even minor details of what could be shown on screen.

"I used to work on network television, and you couldn’t have a person burp on camera. You couldn’t show the toilet bowl, the gun going off, the person getting shot," Chase said. "It was rules, rules, rules. And those are minor things. When you get to the political stuff, that concerns me."

Chase made the comments as he returned to the international spotlight at Karlovy Vary, where festival organizers said he was appearing for an industry talk about the legacy of "The Sopranos," streaming, financing, authorship and the importance of creative risks.

He also told Variety he is independently working on a feature film "that deals with LSD," saying the story involves "a young woman" who's a college DJ.

The film would mark Chase's first directorial feature since "Not Fade Away," his 2012 coming-of-age drama. He also co-wrote and produced the 2021 "Sopranos" prequel film, "The Many Saints of Newark."

Trump signed an executive order on his first day back in office, "Restoring Freedom of Speech and Ending Federal Censorship," saying it was federal policy to protect constitutionally protected speech and prevent government officials from abridging Americans’ First Amendment rights.

A high school in Northern California is pushing back on Gov. Gavin Newsom's latest law that forced it to remove its "Indians" mascot on Wednesday.

In 2024, Newsom signed into law an extension of the California Racial Mascot Act, which prohibits public schools from using "any derogatory Native American term, as defined, as a school or athletic team name, mascot, or nickname" except for schools operated by an Indian tribe or tribal organization or with consent from a federally recognized tribe.

The law officially went into effect on Wednesday, leading Marysville High School to retire its "Indians" mascot after nearly 100 years.

NEWSOM-BACKED COMMISSION TRANSFERS POPULAR COASTLINE TO INDIGENOUS TRIBES

"The Marysville Joint Unified School District Board of Trustees recognizes the deep history and tradition associated with the Indians mascot and acknowledges the strong connection many alumni, students, staff, and community members have to it," Marysville Joint Unified School District Superintendent Jordan Reeves said in a statement last week.

Reeves added that the school has met with local tribal representatives to obtain written consent but was unable to secure consent before the law took effect. According to Reeves, tribal leaders have largely chosen to remain neutral on the subject for now.

Currently, the school has no plans to replace its mascot and will continue to try to obtain consent for their traditional image.

"Marysville Joint Unified School District will continue pursuing opportunities to obtain written permission from a local, federally recognized tribe that would allow Marysville High School to retain its historic mascot under the provisions of state law. Marysville High School remains committed to honoring its proud traditions while continuing to serve students and uphold the long-standing values and expectations of the Marysville community," Reeves said.

In an interview with The Appeal-Democrat on Wednesday, alumni and school employees disagreed with the idea of removing the mascot and argued that students mostly viewed the image with respect.

"I do remember the Indian Way and how it was built (with) respect and (to) hold your head high," track and field coach and alumnus Marcy Tarr said. "Indians were good leaders."

Fox News Digital reached out to Newsom's office and Reeves for additional comment but did not immediately receive a response.

USA World Cup star Folarin Balogun will be able to play in Monday’s game against Belgium in the Round of 16 match after all following an uproar over a red card he received against Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Balogun received the red card after he stepped on the foot of Bosnia and Herzegovina defender Tarik Muharemovic. The red card was given after Brazilian referee Raphael Claus stopped the match for a VAR review to determine whether Balogun had committed a severe foul.

ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!

It was ruled that Balogun did and he was sent off.

The Athletic, which first reported Balogun’s playing status on Sunday, noted that part of FIFA’s disciplinary code stated, "the judicial body may decide to fully or partially suspend the implementation of a disciplinary measure."

"If the person benefiting from a suspended sanction commits another infringement of a similar nature and gravity during the probationary period, the suspension shall be revoked by the judicial body and the sanction enforced without prejudice to any additional sanction imposed for the new infringement," the rule added.

FOX Sports confirmed that Balogun would be able to play. The report noted that the play should not have been flagged to Claus.

FIFA confirmed that the suspension was suspended for a probationary period of one year.

"We accept the decision of the Disciplinary Committee and are pleased that Folarin Balogun is eligible to compete tomorrow," U.S. Soccer said. "Our full attention is focused on the Round of 16 match against Belgium in Seattle, and we look forward to the continued support of our amazing fans."

Balogun scored against Bosnia and Herzegovina. He spoke to reporters Friday about the red card.

"First and foremost, it was totally unintentional, which I'm sure a lot of people know. But, you know, I think the choice of the referee was, of course, his choice, but I don't think it was the correct call," he said. "I think a yellow card would have been fair due to it not being intentional. There's not many places I can place my foot in such a scenario. But it's happened, and it's something that I have to accept and move forward from.

"There’s been lots of different emotions. I’ve been upset, I’ve been happy, it’s been surreal to be honest," he added. "But for me it was just important to stay calm. I never want to react out of anger and emotion. There’s still lots of people we’re inspiring. Little kids, boys and girls are watching. We have to show them the correct way to handle things even when you think it’s unjust, so I felt I did that. I’m happy with the support, not just I’m receiving but the team. I think we’re all looking forward to seeing what we can do against Belgium."

U.S. Soccer had no way to appeal the ruing. Article 9.6 of the 2026 World Cup regulations reads, "No protests may be made about the referee’s decisions regarding facts connected with play. Such decisions are final and not subject to appeal, unless otherwise stipulated in the FIFA Disciplinary Code."

"If a player or team official is sent off as a result of a direct or indirect red card (second caution), they will automatically be suspended from their team’s subsequent match," Article 10.5 adds.

Happy Independence Day, everyone! Nothing says independence more than the freedom to take our hard-earned money and put it on a sport that most only watch every four years. We do it with the Olympics, and we do it with the World Cup. We’ve had quite a few swings and misses, but we’ve also cashed a couple of solid plus-money plays. Let’s try to do it again.

This marks the start of the round of 16. There aren’t really too many lopsided matches in terms of odds any longer - more on that in a moment. Instead, we should be getting the best teams and solid matches from here on out. Canada vs Morocco is no exception. Canada is here after taking down Saudi Arabia. I haven’t seen much out of our neighbors to the north that I’ve been overly impressed with. They’ve scored at least one goal in every game and gotten two shutouts, so there is some stuff to hang their hat on.

MOROCCO SENDS THE NETHERLANDS HOME WITH DRAMATIC WORLD CUP KNOCKOUT IN PENALTIES

For Morocco, they had a much more difficult task of getting the victory against the Netherlands. They won in penalty kicks, and it was a wild shootout. They also haven’t actually lost a match yet and have just one draw. This should be a tight game, and a draw at +245 is where the value lies, in my opinion. I’m not going to tell you it’s a safe bet, but I think these two teams are a bit more evenly matched, and neither seems to be super aggressive on offense. Give me the draw.

If you watched the Argentina game yesterday, you know that lines don’t always tell you the full story of how things will go. The Argentinians were massive favorites and Cape Verde gave them all they could handle. Argentina won 3-2, but it took extra time to get there. Paraguay has a chance to do that today against France. France is -1600 to advance, meaning even if it goes to penalty kicks, France is still the massive favorite. Paraguay beat Germany in penalty kicks for their win to get here. It was their best game of the tournament.

France has looked unstoppable. They are still the favorites to win the World Cup. If you’ve watched them, and even if you’re not a soccer enthusiast, you can see why. Kylian Mbappe has been dynamic and continues to rack up goals. He is a real threat to Messi and the Golden Boot. He is -205 to score a goal today. I prefer his teammate, Ousmane Dembele. I think so much attention goes to Mbappe, Dembele, who already has four goals himself this tournament, gets less attention and easier looks. I’m going to play him to score at +105.
