I'm am going to guess that the kid and others that have been mentioned are not very well disciplined. Why do I make that assumption? I base it off the fact that the parents are willing to go on the national news to tell everyone their boo-hoo sob story about how they got kicked off a plane because their kid wouldn't shut-up.
I know that when I was young, if I EVER acted in a manner that caused a plane to be turned around, 1) my parents would be apologizing profously for the trouble that I caused. 2) My rear end would have been padled (probably in front of the passengers) with out question, resulting in a very sore behind.
Any parent thats worth a damn would have been very embarassed that their kid caused such a commotion, and if they felt it was wrong, probably would seek to settle things with management instead flaunting their lack of parental abilities all over the news.
