Honestly I don't know which side I'm on. Why, because I just don't know. No, I haven't been on a plane before. I want to ride on a plane at least one time. I might be scared of being on a plane because I've seen so many movies that had plane crashes and when there is a storm it's very bumpy.

I've never been on a plane before, but if I was and a child was throwing a fit then yeah I would be annoyed but I wouldn't complain about it. Shes a child, that is what children do. I think it is kind of stupid that they turned the plane around after they got her in the seat belt. Sounds to me like the pilot is the one throwing the fit. There was no need what so ever to turn the plane around. Stories like this aggravate me.

I want to take the families side, but I've been in the position where an annoying baby is just raising hell. Little kids like this can be cute but when they get in that mood nothing is gonna stop them. I usually try to get up and leave the area quietly but if I'm on a plane I'd probably just put my headphones on and listen to my ipod. What the family went through is unfortunate but I can't really be sympathetic because that is how young kids act. Hopefully on their next trip they will have more luck.

The family was just having some problems controlling their kids. They weren't doing a bomb-threat or anything like that. It was just a child. If they had children of their own, they should know how it is. Luckily, I have never dealt with that situation on an airplane. I have dealt with it at work. I was annoyed a bit, but I just kept my mouth shut.
I am on the family's side because temper tantrums are common among children these ages. I have been on a plane with a crying baby. It can be frustrating but you have to understand that these are little children. Nobody's children are perfect and there are going to be outbursts and fits. Also,I can understand the airline being uncomfortable with the child not being safely belted in her seat. But even after she was seated they were still removed, I don't see that as right.

I think the parents are not at fault here because she said they already had the child under control and the kid is 2 years old so at least give them a break. Yes, I thought it was pretty funny and I was sympathetic because it's a little kid.
I am on the side of the family. I have been on a plane with a loud toddler and it is annoying but they cant help it. They were trying their best. They are just kids and it was the last flight so I think it was rude of the airline. I was sympathetic because of the reasons listed above.
I don’t this family should be punished by her children. Everybody knows children have a mind of themselves and they got them under control so they shouldn’t of been kicked off. I would of sewed the plane company because try having to get kicked off and make hotel plans at night, carry luggage and their kids too. That’s so hard to do all at once. If I was on the plane I wouldn’t have been mad I would understand. Every child has their bad days and everybody was sentimental about it especially because they got them calm.
I'm not sure what side I'm on. I would be more on the family side, only because she's a child and that's what they do. I haven't been on a plane, but I'm sure if I were to get on a plane with a crying baby, it'd be annoying. I don't see why they stopped the plane, when they had the seat belt on.
I'm on the family side because yeah they had some problems, but they solved it in got settled. I mean they could have gave the family a chance. I have never rode a plane, therefore I haven's heard a cryining baby on one.
I do not know what side to take. I mean I understand both sides of the story. But there is wrong on both sides. I mean a parent should be able to control there children. But on the other hand they paid for tickets and where thrown off the pane ? But its not my problem, I just do not understand why they would go on national television over something like this.

I'm on the airline's side because although they were very young children, the plane could not continue its scheduled take off because of the tantrum and code violations. I have never been on a plane with a crying child, but I have been on one with unruly children who don't listen well. I, as a passenger, was annoyed but I didn't want them removed from the plane. The daughter obviously has some listening issues, because evern for the few minutes during the interview she was being disruptive and not listening to her father. However, she is two years old, so a lot of the behavior can be excused.
You can't blame a 2 year old for have a temper tantrum she doesn't know any better. The flight attendants need to act like adults. Everyone who has been on a plane has probably dealt with a loud child. You just have to deal with it. Of course, your going to be angry with the child but what can you do about it. I was annoyed and sympathetic because I didn't know what was going on.
People need to learn how to control their children . But i dont think that you should kick a family off of a child . That could have been solved another way . People pay to get on a plane to relax and go where they need to go . Disipline in the key to how a child acts in pubic . her Parents are to soft on her , they should have whipped her .
I'm not really on a side. All kids have temper tantrums and yes the plane could have crashed and people probably did get annoyed. I have been on a plane before. One of the kids that was screaming was my step-niece and she is handicap so I did feel kinda bad for her. So many things could have happened though. They did have a right to kick them off so I mean they have a right.
I actually have been on a plane with a loud toddler before. I didn't really care because kids just do that stuff. I was more sympathetic then anything. I am more on the parents side but some people don't have as much patience as me. I thought it was funny how she was acting in the video. Didn't set a good example, I bet the parents were embarrassed.
I am on the family's side, because the child is only 2 so she does not know that well. Especially since she hadn't had her nap. I have never been on a plane with a crying baby, but I think that the airline company should have tried to at least work with the family, especially if they were trying to calm her down.
I'm on the family side because any child can have a tantrum and its not really easy to control in that state. No haven't ever been on a plane ever but I understand if I was on a plane with a crying baby or loud toddler I would probably be annoyed and sympathetic at the same time because I would understand its hard for them to keep control and annoyed because it would be loud.
