We will see when more facts come out, but the story above does make it sound as if dad changed the ticket to be in the younger son’s name while purchasing another ticket for the older son on a different flight. But of course the FReeper know-nothing’s who love to bow to authority will automatically side with the airline, despite the fact that having a two year old as a “lap child” for a flight of that duration is inappropriate

That's what I was thinking. For a short flight,, I wouldn't mind holding my toddler on my lap, but that has to be a really long flight (never been to Hawaii).

Regardless of the situation, I don’t think any passenger should ever be treated like this. Threatened with jail and losing child?!?! Sheesh!

Also, trying to keep a 2-year old in lap for 4 hours is unsafe! FAA recommends buying seat and bringing approved carrier...I don’t understand where all the Freepers are siding with the airlines unless they are associated with them...

Glad I am able to fly other airlines!
