[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, the mother said that her kid might have a meltdown and scratch herself or others.  That's a warning of physical violence that the flight crew needs to take seriously.

Frankly, I don't have any problem with the mother asking for hot food from first class, although its not clear whether she offered to pay for it at the time that she asked, rather than after she received it.  But whatever, that's not so out of line.  But she basically told the flight attendant that her kid was going to have a meltdown and scratch.  It's not a "threat" like threatening to intentionally hurt someone, but it's a statement that her kid is prone to violent fits and that she was at risk for having one.  Don't tell the flight attendant that your kid is going to hurt themselves or someone else if you don't want them to believe you.  [/quote]

Its ok to ask but if you are declined, then you respect that.  You don't go demanding it till it is being given.  Flight attendant could not be sure that the threat, which the child is prone to would lead to attacking others.  She was in a no win situation.  If she didn't report it and they take it seriously, and something happened, it could end very badly.  Mom wanted a reaction and attention and she got it.[/quote]
