Woman wouldn't control her kids after being asked to twice. She just learned the hard way that there are repercussions in life for being irresponsible...will her kids ever learn that?

So am I supposed to think she is the victim here??? Do her and her sister now plan to sue? Parents control your children. Whatever happened to shame, how embarassed she should be that her children were so unruly they had to be kicked off of the plane?

At least if they sue the sis can get some teeth. Some people should just stay home and save the rest of us from their grief. We can stay home and watch them on Cops if we chose to!!!!

That's kind of a catch 22 nowadays. If you threaten them, someone calls the police that you are a possible child abuser. If you spank your kids, someone calls and says they witnessed you abusing them in public. You can only give them "time out" so many times before they give you the 1 finger salute because they know how much they can get away with now. Wouldn't have happened 15 years ago, I'll tell you that.

Good job. I hope they stand by their decision and don't cave like is so common now days. If they come out with a public apology, I may get sick.
No one has any shame or sense of responsibility anymore.
And to be a little insensitive, because that is the way I am: Put those kidlettes on a diet and yourself too. Good god. And maybe a bra, your gonna knock some one out.

LOL-looks like it! If she can't even control her appetite, she probably doesn't make the effort to control her kids!

Enough is enough. Big Momma and her crew of child terrorists evidenced no respect for the rights of others. At least SW put them off the plane while it was on the ground. I would have booted them out at 33000 feet.

I'm inclined to believe that the hillbilly fatness had a lot to do with them getting the boot...

LOL....it is tempting sometimes....I've had the back of my seat kicked all the way to the destination more than once, even turned around and politely asked the parent to please control their child...if they even bother to speak to the child it returns to the behavior in a couple of minutes and the parent seems to be oblivious...

If they sue all the airline needs to win is a list of frequent flyers for the jury pool.....

I'd kick this family off the flight too.

...weight requirements.

Seriously though, they had two disabled children so maybe it is time for airlines to take these kinds of things into consideration. Right?
