Stop rewards for bad parenting

E-Mail Print

So, parents are now being rewarded for bad parenting? A San Jose woman and her unruly 2-year-old are removed from a plane in Amarillo because the kid won't shut up. Airline caves in and refunds her ticket, plus she gets a $300 voucher. What on Earth is going on here? And she also hopes to be compensated for diapers and a portable crib?

C'mon! I suppose that if the mother of a couple of 7-year-olds I saw running up and down the aisles in a Save Mart store had gotten tossed out, she'd be demanding free groceries.
