A Failed Flight By Alek Damiani

On October 30th a mother and her infant son were kicked off an airplane heading home to San Jose from Texas. Her son kept screaming, “Bye plane,” and “I want Daddy.” The mother and her son were kicked off after a peevish flight attendance was refused a request for the infant to be medicated to calm down. The mother said she was sure the screaming would subside after the plane took off.

A news station said that they thought it was unusual for them to kick and infant off a plane but it is their prerogative. People are asking questions now like, was she given a few minutes to assuage her sons’ behavior? And, was he really causing a major issue? The situation hasn’t been looked into very much and it is upsetting to some people. Many people have been given the option to post comments on most sights that have information on the incident and it seems to be split between people who feel like it is unfair and people who support the airline.
