While the family was put under additional strain the daughter must have been very ill to have a FA notice. Curious what the sick daughter thought of flying that day. As always there are two sides to every story.
Also, many people buy the lowest fares with no allowances for changes/cancelling so going to the airport even if probably sick is still better to them then losing all their money.
At least if they are removed they get rebooked by the airline.
