Flight returns to gate, ejects boy with autism
June 26th, 2008From ABC News, Chicago Tribune:
A two-year-old with autism and his mother were escorted off an American Eagle flight in Raleigh-Durham airport just as it was about to take off this week. Airline officials said the child was “screaming uncontrollably” and that the mother kept her carry-on bag on the floor in front of the seat.
Janice Farrell said she believed there was no reason for the airline to kick them off the plane, saying that the flight attendant made things worse by repeatedly tugging on her son’s seatbelt and reprimanding him.
