My question is why did the parent allow that situation to exist in the first place. For me that parent has already failed. Also, If you had be practicing what I like to call peaceful parenting, your child should already have enough respect for you to listen to your guidance without you having to restrain them. Finally, temporarily restraining someone who may not be aware of impending danger is not being authoritarian and would be a considered a compassionate thing to do whether that person is a child or an adult.

No. Peaceful parenting certainly doesn't guarantee obedience. That's just not how it works.
Please pay closer attention to the conversation you're stepping into. I haven't made that claim.
