The parent may not know, he’s only three. What if he was her first child and she didn’t know if she was doing something wrong or what? I don’t know why one would be forced to travel with a child who couldn’t handle it (maybe a funeral or something) and the poor parent wouldn’t find out until after trying a first flight.

I disagree. I GUARANTEE you that this level of behavior had previously manifested itself in other situations requiring the child to be static for any period of time. It didn't require just stepping onto a plane for the first time to trigger this.

If this had been the first time ever that the mother had observed this behavior in Junior she would have been crying for help and desperate for any assistance at seeing this level of extended out of control behavior for the first time. Instead, she tried to "manage" while being oblivious to the impact of this extremely disruptive behavior.

I read on another thread that the mother was overheard telling a flight attendant that her child had behavioral issues. Just sayin'...
