This puts more responsibility on the parents, who in some cases may not be accepting that responsibility.  And the children learn this early.

I don't think only trained individuals can break up a fight. I think most people have enough sense to not think the proper way to break up a fight is to join in and start shoving and punching, child or no child involved.
