Description:
In the documentation ( http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/innodb-locking-reads.html ) usage example, the sentence is not accurate for the example:

    "Any transaction that tries to read or write to the applicable row in the PARENT table waits until you are finished"

should be 

    "Any transaction that tries to acquire an exclusive lock in the applicable row in the PARENT table waits until you are finished"

How to repeat:
open the link http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/innodb-locking-reads.html and search for sentence "Any transaction that tries to read or write to the applicable row in the PARENT table waits until you are finished"

Suggested fix:
modify to "Any transaction that tries to acquire an exclusive lock in the applicable row in the PARENT table waits until you are finished"
