NEW YORK -- The Gwinnett County mother kicked off an airplane with her 19-month old son tried to tell her side of the story Friday morning, but her son's crying drowned out part of the interview.
Garren Penland, 19-months old, got so unruly during his mom's chat with 'Good Morning America' anchor Diane Sawyer, co-anchor Chris Cuomo had to take the toddler off the set.
While Kate Penland explained her child was well-behaved on the Continental Express flight, little Garren kicked, wiggled and squirmed out of his mother's arms.
At one point he climbed up on a coffee table and rifled through Sawyer's scripts.
When Sawyer handed him a model Space Shuttle to distract him, Garren rolled it off the table and onto the floor.
Kate Penland said she and Garren were booted from the flight last month by a flight attendant who suggested she use benadryl to calm her son down.
It’s just the latest of my many public humiliations!
LOL, cute young Master Roberts. But at least you saw his mom was about to burst a blood vessel... she was so pissed.
She didn’t know whether to move up and grab him, what would a pic or video of that do, or let him loose.
LOL
A restaurant once had a sign:
PLEASE KEEP YOUR CHILDREN QUIET AND IN THEIR SEATS.
It should be the law of the land.
Maybe they should place a wall in front of the last few seats for kid problems. That way no one would hear them. I would rather hear a kid cry or scream any day than listen to a parent try to ‘reason” with them though. They are unreasonable.
An old Harry Hershfield joke.
Don't know. We never had that problem.
Yeah, sure. Are you a lawyer who specializes in screaming brats?
Even though she was "randomly selected" for extra security screening at the airport*, had an infant in arms and her 2-year-old was reluctant to keep the seat belt fastened throughout the flight, the flight attendants said the kids were well behaved. My daughter made sure they had plenty of snacks and coloring books.
This woman had ONE toddler and couldn't control him?
*She is always "randomly selected" for additional security screening. My daughter is dark-skinned and looks "Middle Eastern." I suggested that the next time she flies, she should wear a head scarf.
Maybe the child had a dirty bomb.
The network wins either way. If the kid behaves, they can point to the big bad airline. If the kid acts out, they can show the nation another stupid pig waiting at the trough.
After at least 11 hours in an airport, that poor wee mite was a dirty bomb :(

My parents tell me I cried all the way to Germany on a plane when I was 6 months old and yes, everyone on the flight was po’d. Its not against the law yet.....
I wouldn't be surprised.
The last international flight I was on, some kid screamed for the entire 8 hours. I was seated in the back of the plane and the baby was up front, it was one of those Airbus 380's, and the screams filled the entire plane.
I couldn’t keep mine on his seat, now that he’s 15 I can’t get him up off it.
:)
What a cute kid. The toy duck is a nice touch.
Don’t throw away that duct tape! LOL!
