“There’s something really wrong with that child if he did that for the WHOLE 8 hours.”
This sentiment, right here.
People express hatred at the kids so quickly. The truth is that flights mess with inner ears and many kids freak out during liftoff and landings. It’s just the way it is to a youngster.
But if the crying is beyond that then maybe concern should replace anger.
Is the kid autistic ? Is he truly in pain or something ? These are things you can’t smack out of a kid.
From the article:
The mother of the child was overheard telling flight attendants that her son has “behavioral problems,” according to passengers.
Me: And I didn’t say to smack him.

True. That’s why sedation or the No Fly list is being recommended.
My son has “behavioral problems”, ADHD, Anxiety, ODD, maybe more. Spanking doesn’t work. He doesn’t respond to it, just makes him more angry. Grounding has no effect and loss of privileges has no effect on his behavior. He lacks all self control. Therapies, medications and the like have modified his behavior but not really changed it.
It’s hard to deal with everyday. We don’t go out very much because of his behavior and are basically prisoners to it.
If it’s hard on us, his parents, how do you think he must feel inside? For a board that talks a lot about Christ’s mercy and Christian values, I see little empathy or mercy here lately. He needs prayers and so do his parents. If you’re the praying type, please have at it.

True. . .so the parents should reimburse the cost of the tickets to the suffering other passengers.
Actually, you can. It's how most kids were raised before Spock, even if they had a disability.
