3-Year-Old Kicked Off Airplane for Crying

[avebury]

68. I was on a trans-atlantic flight one time and

there were two young brothers (who were old enough to know better) who proceeded to chase each other in circles around the plane. I have know idea where there parents were sitting but they obviously were letting their children run wild. All I could imagine is what would happen if one of them tripped and ended up accidentally pulling on an external door handle. They were a hazard to the entire plane. I waited until they came around the corner and I grabbed the first boy by the arm which sent him flying. I kept him from going face first into the floor and told both both to go sit down. That worked for a while until they began round 2. At that point I just got the flight attendant on them. Later on in the flight a young girl started running laps in the plane. I just had the flight attendant deal with her. I had no idea where her parents were either.


I have seen some parents do an excellent job with their kids on flights and I have seen some families I would have loved to have thrown off the plane. If parents let their children run wild I would have no problem with the pilot setting down at the nearest airport and kicking the family off the plane and not providing them with a replacement flight to their destination. Poor parenting is no excuse for allowing children to potentially endanger everyone on a flight.
