What a joke!!! The kid could not even sit still for 3 minutes on a large couch, just imagine sitting on his Mom's lap in a crowded regional jet. I have absolutely no sympathy for the Mom, only sympathy for the poor guy who was unfortunate enough to have to sit beside her. We should do away with "lap-babies" under 2 years old. Everyone should have a seperate seat, and of course a carrier-seat for children under two. Did the FA over-react?? Sounds like she did, but we only have heard one side of the story, and will probably never hear the FA's side of the story. Bottom line here, three adults (during the interview) could not control that kid, he showed America a small sample of what the flight was like with his behaviour. For the record, I do have kids, ages 4 and 6, and they have never behaved like that in public, and never will. It starts at home with the parents!!
