Another misbehaving child kicked off an aeroplane

What annoys me is that the father a) seems to think that his three year old had every right to be a disobedient brat and b) thinks that the crew overreacted. Excuse me, but the safety of everyone else on the plane trumps your right to have a badly behaved child. Everyone has to buckle up, for safety reasons; should turbulance strike and your child is not strapped in, that child could be hurled thru the air and killed or severely injured.

Thankfully most of the comments seem to be calling out dad for being a dick.

Not only that, but other people could have been injured when his body flies right into them.

Sounds like the kid would have been scared eiher way.

I'm curious as to why dad and junior were back in the cheap seats while mom, grandma, and another junior were up in first class. Did they know he was going to be a problem and think that being back in the cheap seats it would go unnoticed?

And I love how the dad comments that junior doesn't want to fly, now. As if his behavior didn't indicate he didn't want to be on he plane in the first place.

According to the airline employees, the child was lying across the seats with the seat belt up by his neck at one point.

Yeah, I'd consider that a problem.

People still aren't taking it seriously?

This was on the tarmac and proves anething can happen at any time.

I have absolutely no sympathy for them whatsoever, in fact, I am quite keen to ride on that airline knowing that they have enough back bone to kick self righteous families off. As you might have guessed by now that I do not have children, nor do I find them fun to be around for longer than five minutes. It bothers me that parents no longer act like parents and allow their spawn to get away with anything and to assume that everybody around them is perfectly okay to pitch in and assist. To make sacrifices for their own comfort, time and patience.

It is the same kind of garbage that happens in movie theaters all the time. People who bring their children into R rated movies. What ever happened to some things are for adults and somethings are for kids? It is absolutely disgusting how everything is centered around them these days. When I walk into an R rated movie to see some hard core drug/alcohol use, blood shed with obnoxious one liners that follow, the absolute last thing I care for are young mutant yous running up and down the aisles, laughing. How hard is it to call for a baby sitter? Remember that service where you pay a teenager to look after your precious while they raid the fridge and watch TV?

In closing I'll leave you with this. You know that saying that it takes a village to raise a child? Well, that's just what it is, a saying. I, along with many other villagers, have other things to do than to put our own lives on hold for your irresponsible ass.

I have heard far to many people that I have worked with or met at a store ((SCs)) who seem to feel that having children seems to empower them to pretty much do whatever they want and ignore all the rules.

My maw-maw, bless her dearly departed bitchy self said it best, 'when you have kids, you pretty much have to live only for them from then on. its a huge responsibility and can be a lot of fun, but dont expect anyone else to raise them or put up with their shit'

I never understood this mentality. Parent's wouldn't expect a stranger to wipe their baby's ass and change their diaper, so why expect everyone else to accommodate their screaming kid? It's not the world's job to raise someone else's kid.

[Lace Neil Singer]

They're the sort of people who take a screaming baby to a posh restaurant and their attitude is, "Put up or shut up". When challenged, they say, "I can't afford a babysitter" which is irritating when they're regularly patronising posh restaurants, cinemas etc.

I can understand if a kid just bursts out but when the kid continues.....
