I dunno what to think of that. On one had the kid could have been real annoying and would need to be removed. 1 mad pax is better than 48 others. Pax always seem to have their opinion of what compromises safety and what doesn't.

On the other hand I find it hard to believe a loud child warrants a FA to go verbal if that's what she really did. A little patience could have made the difference. I'd like to know what the pilots were saying during all this. The FA isn't the final authority on turning a plane back around so it had to have been something bad for the pilots to agree with her.

Yeah, I totally agree. You always have crying kids on the flights but it had to be really serious to turn the flight around. I cant see the FA just having a bad day and not wanting to deal with it.

yeah this news is obviously one-sided because it only includes comments from the pax. i cant take everything she said for face value. (it could be true, but she probably exaggerated or twisted the truth a little.)

SAAB, shut your cake hole. You have no idea what the situation was, and it is completely ignorant of you to assume that it was a parenting problem.

That "little SOB" (nice way to reference a child, by the way) might have had Autism or another disorder which affects their behavior -- behavior that no "discipline" can change.
