I’m sure the parents where actually booing the judges not the children.
Just typical that journalist sensationalizes the story.

Sorry but even if the parents were booing the judges .. why do it just after the announcement .. in front of the kids ... why not accept that the other school had won. I wonder if the parents who's kids had lost if their kids were at the school that won what they would have said about the parents who had started booing .. The kids cant make a judgement that the parents were booing a judge who was probably sat in a car away from the parents as far as they were concerned they were booing them not a judge.
