Which side is right?

This is a very interesting tidbit. I'm not sure which side I would be on.

On one side, when you purchase a plane ticket, you should be able to assume you will be able to fly to your destination. However, if the toddler is disrupting the flight, I think it's justifiable to remove them from the flight.

Presuming of course that they are re-imbursed for their tickets (which they were).

Me being a single, childless airplane passenger would have to side with the airline on this one. Keep kicking those annoying children off so that I (and the 30+ other passengers) can have a stress free relaxing flight. If the parents (or guardian, as if there was an 80 year old crazy grandpa screaming on a plane, I'd want him kicked off too) can't control them, maybe they shouldn't be flying.

What's the opinions of some of you folks with young'uns?

I say drug'em and toss them in the cargo hold. Only problem is we already know how good the airlines are at keeping track of luggage.....

I'm personally all for this. Sounds like they were properly reimbursed for the trouble of being removed - you have to give the other people a break sometimes.

Judgement on a situation by situation basis is key - it seems like this is what we are sorely lacking in general these days.
