[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a case where I really feel like I need more information about what actually happened before I pass judgment. We have the mother's best-case version of what happened, but even that raises questions, like why didn't she plan for this accordingly (such as packing food in a heated thermos), and what was her back-up plan if, for some reason, the flight attendants actually couldn't get her hot food? Also, exactly what did she tell the flight attendant would happen if her daughter didn't settle down? If what she said gave the flight attendant cause to be concerned about the safety of others on the plane (i.e., would she become violent if mom couldn't settle her), that might be good reason to divert and remove her from the plane *before* she became violent rather than waiting until she did and someone got hurt.[/quote]

Yes, and I wonder at what point they decided to divert.  We don't know what the pilot was told and what information he/she used to decide to divert the plane.   Perhaps by the time the girl calmed down after getting the food, the plane had already changed its flight plan and started the emergency landing so it was too late at that point to continue on to Portland.
