A toddler gets thrown off a Jet Blue flight. The Rhode Island family was traveling from Turks to Boston and their 2-year-old wouldn't sit in her seat. The family was able to get Natalie to sit, but security still did appear, due to the request from the pilot. Security was sympathetic, but the pilot wasn't and the plane pulled back to the gate and the family was taken off the plane.  The family was forced to stay another evening in the Caribbean because there were no more flights going out that day. The whole ordeal cost them over $2,000.  Unfortunately, this is not the first case.

  •  Kate Penland claimed she was taken off an Express Jet flight in 2997 after refusing to give her child Benadryl to quiet him down.
     
  • Two-year-old Jarret Farrel, an autistic boy traveling with his mom, was kicked off an American Eagle flight in 2008. American Airline's said the "child had been crying and screaming uncontrollably, to the point where the child's well being was in question."
     
  • Pamela Root and her toddler son were kicked off a Southwest flight in 2009 because passengers could not hear pre-flight safety announcements. The airline did apologize to Root and sent her a $300 voucher for future travel.
