If it's the former, this is a complete over reaction by the store manager, if it's the latter, than screw those lazy ass parents. It's not a stores job to look after your kids while you shop.

The kid wasn't dropped off. He arrived at the store on his own.
Why is it so hard to imagine this scenario:
Family drives to mall. Kid says "I'm going to the Lego store." Dad says "I'm going to Eddie Bauer. Meet you at the food court in half an hour."
I did this stuff all the time when I was 11. I didn't want to tag along with my parents at the mall, so when we got there we split up and met again later. At Southcentre, I hung out at Little Generals.
The kid is 11, not 6. What's he going to do in the store - roll around on the floor wetting his pants and having a tantrum? He could be babysitting in a year. He doesn't need a babysitter.
