[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m team mom. Kids should not be exposed to scary, violent, or sexually inappropriate scenes on the plane. You can’t control who sits next to or in front of you so be thoughtful and aware of who is around you.   [b]This guy can watch something else.[/b] [/quote]

Or the parents can just not take their kids on planes.   Unless the kid was flying to a hospital for life saving medical procedure, he did not NEED to be on a plane.   Parents could have driven to their destination, or they could have skipped the trip altogether. [/quote]

dp wow there are a lot of hate on children.  Do you not think children are humans and also have need to travel?  Were you not children?  If you wanted to visit relatives in California your parents would always drive even if you only had a few days to visit?  And I thought the anti-pit bull haters were bad...you anti children are even worst![/quote]

What are you talking about?
I am not "anti-child."   I love children!   I have children (and nieces and nephews who are children.)   I was even once a child myself.

This is about parents rights to CHOOSE what their children are exposed to.    If mom doesn't want her child exposed to stranger's (perfectly legal) actions, she shouldn't CHOOSE to bring them to a confined space where they will be in view of stranger's actions.    She can CHOOSE to drive or forgo the trip.

As to my childhood--we didn't have relatives in California, but we lived in California ourselves.   And no we DIDN'T visit relatives on the east coast.   It's not impossible to survive childhood without cross country flights.[/quote]

[b]You are talking about keeping children from planes [/b]and you know I wasn't actually directing my question to you (regarding the hypothetical trip to California) It was an example to get you to think of [b]other people's needs and actions[/b].

The mom was wrong in how she handled it but, the adult man could have been the better person for the kids and turned it off.

No, I'm not talking about keeping children from planes.   No one "needs" to travel by plane.    This mom made the CHOICE to put her child in a place that she felt was inappropriate.   Mom was wrong  period.[/quote]

No adult man "needs" to watch a violent movie on the plane either!  What's wrong with reading?[/quote]

Maybe he didn't have a book.    Maybe he has a disability that makes it difficult for him to read.   It's none of your business why he isn't reading.

And right, he doesn't "need" to watch the movie, just like mom didn't "need" to travel with the kids on a plane.   Both situations were "wants" and not needs.   Why should mom's "want" infringe on  the man's "want?"   [/quote]
