Depending how bad it was and how old they are, it should be more of a teaching moment when they say something out of line. Freedom of speech is more of freedom TO speak. Adults should watch what they say anyway out of respect for others and that there might be young "ears" nearby. Something to strive for anyway.

They may get in trouble, but they're not going to get locked up in prison for it. That is what is meant by freedom of speech. Kids need to learn respect, and learn what is inappropriate to say since it will help them get on much better in life, i think =)
