Wait, why? New poster here but that is really a great idea. [/quote]

The better word to use is "sedated" but it's true. You either don't fly with a child like that, or if it's genuinely unavoidable (which literally means a life-saving operation for the child or a permanent move/deployment to another country, absolutely not just that someone wanted to visit someone or go to an event or do some traveling) then you take steps to at least TRY to ensure that it's not the Trip From Hell for all other passengers. That woman was as entitled as hell. And for the record I have a SN child. [/quote]

The parents I know who have had this experience, have been bringing their child home via international adoption.  So, they have a toddler and no shared language, and no bond to build on.  I'm not saying that's the case here, but there are families who have good reasons to travel.

We don't know if mom knew it was likely to be this bad.  Kids are unpredictable.  Kids with disabilities can be even more so. If she knew expected this, then yes she probably should have taken steps, but for all we know she did they didn't work.  It's possible that she brought melatonin or Benadryl and thought that would be enough.  [/quote]
