For parents who are "not playing nice" in the stands all of the aforementioned palliatives suggested by the other posters work well and are appropriate and will not cause you any problems with your reputation as an official. Again, applause for your volunteer work.

There are 2 kids tourneys that I do every year where I volunteer my time and do a bunch of games.
It seems that the parents at the kids tourneys are worse than what I see in high school. It's unbelievable what you see and what you have to put up with when you volunteer.
I echo the sentiments to not put up with it. Just get it over with as quickly and classy as you possibly can. Don't stoop to their behavior.
