They said on Good Morning America they would never fly AirTran again.
Then I'm looking forward to my next flight on AirTran.

Spoken like someone who's never had to control an upset kid. I agree that parents need to control their children in public, but this is overkill. Put yourself in their shoes. It's not like they didn't know they had a problem or werent' trying to solve the issue. My pregnant wife is flying across the country in a few days and I hope she doesn't get stuck next to a self-righteous jerk on the way. She's going to have enough problems without having arrogant commuters or bitchy flight attendants to deal with.

This thread bears the evidence of the impatient and non-empathetic society we live in. It doesn't seem like it was the kids fault they were "already running 15 minutes late."
How are the parents or the child infringing on your rights? were does it say on your ticket or anywere else that you have the "right" to quiet time anyway? If you want totall quiet and serenity, I would argue that riding on a jet aircraft is not the place for you anyway.
The reason they were kicked off was that the child wasn't in the seat with the seat belt fastened. Now we've all seen people on cell phones, kids with gameboys and even other adults being unruly and delaying the flight for one reason or another.
Give the parents a break. If they would have spanked the kid, someone would have them kicked off and arrested anyway for child abuse.
