[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't threaten that your kid will get violent to get what you want and then be surprised that the flight attendants take precautions in case your kid gets violent. Landing the plane was probably an overreaction, but the mother didn't handle the whole situation well either.[/quote]

+1 the mother was overly dramatic with her threats. She got the same response right back at her. [/quote]

Thing is, not only did the mom say that her kid might get violent, but the mom basically also told everyone that she could not control her own child if things don't go her child's way.  For those who have never dealt with an out of control violent person, you have no idea who dangerous it can be and how difficult it can be to gain control of the situation.  If the child is at risk for violence and mom can't control her, then there was the potential of danger.  [/quote]

This is how I see it.  If you tell the flight staff that your kid is at high risk for becoming violent and injuring herself or others, you can't cry foul when they believe you.  I feel badly for the kid, but the mom should have considered the obligations of the crew to ensure everyone's safety.

Did they even have a way to heat food on the plane?  I've been on many planes with no ovens--the food is heated on the ground, and it's not like there is a microwave on the plane.[/quote]
