TORONTO (AP) — A Porter Airlines flight in Canada was canceled last week after a young child refused to sit down and buckle up, forcing the plane back to the terminal and delaying it past the airport’s runway closure.

The Toronto-based airline said Sunday the parent and crew repeatedly tried unsuccessfully to secure the child in the seat before returning the plane to the terminal in Victoria International Airport in British Columbia to remove the parent and child.
Porter said removing the parent and child and their baggage delayed the Toronto-bound flight on Thursday past the airport’s 12:30 a.m. runway closure, forcing the remaining passengers to disembark.
Porter apologized to the other passengers, who were rebooked on a flight the following day.
Thank goodness it wasn’t a Frum person, I guess it happens to everyone
20 years ago, there was no such thing as having to buckle up a child. They were held on a lap, If the plane crashes or does anything bad seat belt is of no help, total stupidity.
Ego maniacs
The parent should be charged the cost of refueling the plane, whatever additional fees the airport charged for the overnight layover, and the costs of the hotel rooms and food provided to the other inconvenienced passengers.
They should have thrown him in the cargo hold.
Should give the kid a sleeping pill before flight to make him submissive
