American Removes Mother, Child From Flight When 2-Year-Old Refuses Face Covering

American Airlines reportedly kicked a mother and her two-year-old son off of a flight when the child refused to wear facemask. Most U.S. airlines require children over two-years old to wear a facemask, according to the ABC News report, and all passengers were forced off the plane because of the incident. “Rather than get themselves any bad press by escorting a crying mom and two year old off the plane, they forced everyone to deplane, and wouldn’t let us back on the flight home. Apparently before we got off the plane everyone who left before us lit up the crew in the gate area,” Rachel Davis posted on Instagram. “I tried repeatedly, begged him, bribed him, pleaded with him, did everything I could while he was screaming and crying as I tried to hold him and put the mask on, feeling my absolute lowest of lows as a mother,” Rachel Davis, added. The latest incident comes on the heels of Southwest Airlines removing a mother and her tw0-year-old son because he would not wear a mask, according to a report from USA Today. “It was very cold and cruel,” fellow passenger Taylor Cournoyer told ABC . “This wasn’t an issue of a grown adult not complying out of spite because they don’t agree with masks — this was a child. And it was not a bad, irresponsible mom either — she was crying and trying to keep the mask on and asking the flight attendants for help and advice on what to do.”...MORE
