Nobody likes a crying baby on a plane, but this is ridiculous.
Canadian singer Sarah Blackwood was booted off a United Airlines flight in San Francisco because her two-year-old son was crying.
This was the terrifying security threat that caused the plane to turn back to the gate:

Fans of the pregnant singer-songwriter from the band Walk Off the Earth are outraged after Blackwood shared her plight on social media.

The mother, Sarah Blackwood, had a WINDOW SEAT, with a passenger occupying the seat next to her. She was HOLDING her CRYING child. She was doing EVERYTHING she could to "control" her child (short of duct taping his mouth - in which case all hell would break loose) with independent (other passengers) as witnesses to what allegedly occurred. It seems ANY authority it right until proven WRONG, in my opinion. Not receiving an unopened can of coke gets more sympathy than a SEVEN MONTH PREGNANT mother unable to stop her child from crying. From what perspective is everyone viewing things? Can we start focusing on the FACTS rather than relying on anecdotal evidence, or worse, BIASED propaganda (and, yes, I know that was tautology, however, entirely necessary it would seem).
If they can't get their kids to wear seat belts on a plane, how do they manage in a car?
Some rules can't be broken: wearing seat belts at designated times is one of them.
Might be situational. Kids know that they have to wear a seatbelt in the car because they always have to. Get into a plane and it's a whole new kettle of fish.
