Imagine the horror of having a toddler who starts screaming his little heart out the moment you board a airplane? Imagine the horror of him not stopping? Imagine the shock of having the plane taxi back to the gate and escort you and your screaming kid off the aircraft? Pamela Root’s two year old son Adam began screaming “Go! Plane! Go!” and “I want Daddy!” the moment they boarded the plane heading for San Jose. As the piercing sounds resonated throughout the aircraft the flight crew made an executive decision to remove the source of the disturbance. Now Ms Root wants an apology and compo for the for the portable crib and diapers she had to buy for the extra night away from home. Small price to pay for peace and quiet!
UPDATE The Airline has apologized.

“We’re sorry your kid is so annoying.”
“We’re sorry your such a shitty mom, you can’t keep your friggin rug rat quiet. Here’s fifty cents—go call someone who gives a crap.”
We’re sorry you have to live with it!
Oh and good luck with that!
GRRR! I’d put a muzzle on it. When I came to Oz on the ten pound plane I had to put up with that crap. It’s was horrific. Not only that, they split their milk under my seat and I wet soppy carpet for 2 days.
Removing him was the right thing to do because crying kids make me want to “KILL”
I agree, it is the pitch of their squeal that makes murder seem an appropriate punishment
They’d friggin split your eardrums with that high pitched screaming wouldn’t they?
I find myself glaring at the mums who are totally oblivious to their rug rats running a muck screaming at the top of his or her lungs.
Hurray for Southwest. Kick off screaming kids and make fat people buy two seats.
