Children are not adults and get stressed out easily sometimes from traveling. Doctors can help address this ahead of time, for extreme situations like this one.
Parents can be expected to sit and wait for long periods of time while putting up with misbehaving children, but hundreds of other people shouldn't be expected to sit and wait on others who aren't prepared to travel. Everyone has paid for their tickets and everyone is under stress and everyone has schedule to meet.
If more airlines would handle the situation this way, more parents would consider this issue beforehand, so it wouldn't be as likely to happen. But when it does happen, the family can just catch a later flight, after the child calms down or wears herself out from her tantrum.
