Who is unreasonable? what does MN think of this?

[ollieplimsoles]

this story just broke on social media, (hope you can all see it)

www.facebook.com/donna.m.beegle/posts/816056981803855

That is the mothers account of what happened, very mixed responses from the commenters, what does everyone think?

Here is a news report of it:
7online.com/news/parents-plan-legal-action-after-daughter-with-autism-kicked-off-flight/713012/

Snowflakes I also agree that was really unnecessary and out of order of you

From what ive heard by social medial it was the mother who was the one at risk of being violent not the child! Passagers around her say she was very aggressive towards the flight crew verbally. Its the pilots responsibility to kerp everyone safe and if he doesnt need someone to be aggressive whilst in flight. Maybe they should just have removed the mother. However this is only social media hay say!

The attacks on Toad are appalling.
In this case, if there was a spare hot meal then why not give it to the girl?
But the mum did not know there would be any hot meals. Or that each hot meal had already been consumed before she asked.
What would she have done in that situation? 5 plus hour flight and DD in risk of serious upset. Surely she should have had some contingency in place if she is such an experienced traveller?

Social media must be right. Cos it's never full of God awful trolls putting the boot in for the fun of it.

The attacks on Toad are disgustingly vile and speak volumes about the member who posted them. I've also reported them.

Toads

If the chicken sandwich wasn't hot enough, I don't understand why it coukd t have been re-heated

The issue here is that this was an adult sized child whom the mother seemed to be implying that she wouldn't be able to control and for whose actions she couldn't be responsible for.

Even if the DD just injured herself, there is the risk of other passengers being distressed by this (and bringing a claim) and the mother arguing that the airline had caused her DD to act like this by not providing a meal and also bringing a claim.

The whole thing is very unfortunate but I would have thought that once the mother realised she coukdbt pre-book a hotmail, she would have been in contact with the airline to discuss how this could be dealt with. If it could t have been dealt with satisfactorily, it would have been sensible to re-book with one of the other airlines that the mother states always provides the meal as required

well i hope snowflakes is soon banned. Have reported.

I however am disappointed that her posts have been (rightfully deleted) for making personal comments about toad and the ones toad made about me have been left to stand. thanks MNHQ

Toads..please don't let snowflakes bother you as they are clearly a troll.

happy to be deleted for troll hunting.

great moderation here.

I don't think Toads is the poster on here with the biggest MH issues...

Just ignore it Toads, pretty sure your stalker won't be around much longer

I know we're supposed to report silently but I can't just stand by when a vulnerable poster is attacked so nastily and in a potentially triggering way without showing her some support.

Cross posted Fanjo. to you too.

thanks Don't

Only briefly read article and it's quite vague....my thoughts are if the aircraft diverted it was more serious than it may have appeared.

I'm sorry, but do I know you, Snowflakes?

Thought this was about a girl on a plane though...not me...

Telling me to kill myself was real mature though...thanks

what a horrible thread
(hope your ok Toads x)
al the judging of a parent. nasty in the extreme

Mumsnet, I appreciate you deleting those posts but how about also banning the poster? Surely telling another poster (especially one who has admitted to suicidal thoughts) to kill themselves warrants an outright ban? The repeated, unprovoked attacks on Toads seem rather unhinged and I suspect this poster has serious issues of their own but they've gone way too far for my sympathy.

^ Exactly what DontWorry says.

they have been banned

How do you know, Fanjo?

How can you tell?

MNHQ sent a mass mail to those who reported the attacks
