I remember a few years back a family was kicked off a major airline because their 3yr old kept unfastening their seatbelt so that the jet couldn't takeoff. The parents wouldn't force the child to comply so back to the gate and given the boot. Dr. Phil commented on his show about this saying something like "sometimes the parents have to be the parent, not the child's friend."
