I put this squarely on the airlines...they ask about children and ages....to make a parent and a young child sit by themselves is ridiculous....

I think our pill taking complainer is a 15" of famer....

[P.O.E.]

I don’t buy the “last minute booking, confusing websites” argument. It’s the parent’s responsibility to make sure they are sitting with their child when they book the flight. (My guess is they were trying to save a few bucks and figured they could cow somebody else to accommodate them).

If it’s an emergency flight, then take it up with the airline.
