A family says a JetBlue Airlines crew was unreasonable when it kicked off the couple and their two children for questioning the rules about where their toddler could sit during takeoff.
Yahoo! Parenting reports Mona and Prashant Doshi were flying from Boston to Baltimore with their 3-year-old daughter, Riya, and 2-year-old son, Milin, when the crew kicked them off the plane for being "noncompliant". According to Mona, she was holding Milin in her lap when the problems began.

A flight attendant approached her and told her the toddler needed to be in his own seat. The family says on an earlier flight, the flight attendant allowed Mona to hold Milin in her lap during takeoff.
When Mona questioned the flight attendant, she said the woman became defensive. Mona then began to strap her son into the seat, and said a second flight attendant walked over and gave her the same instructions.
While she was holding down Milin, the plane began rolling back to the gate, and the crew told the Doshis to get off the plane.
The family isn't sure why they were kicked off, but called it a humiliating experience.
Other passengers on the plane tweeted about the incident, expressing their disappointment with JetBlue. One user commented that the only effect it had was to delay the flight.
