'What do you want me to do—duct tape his face? He's 2 years old, he doesn't get it!'

Chaya Bruck was traveling with her six kids when her youngest child Dina, 2, refused to wear her mask as other passengers who tried to support her were kicked off the plane.

Chaya Bruck was traveling with her six kids when her youngest child Dina, 2, refused to wear her mask as other passengers who tried to support her were kicked off the plane.A mother says she was pushed to her breaking point Thursday when she was kicked off an American Airlines flight after her two-year-old son would not wear a mask.

"I tried repeatedly, begged him, bribed him, pleaded with him, did everything I could while he was screaming and crying as I tried to hold him and put the mask on, feeling my absolute lowest of lows as a mother," Rachel Davis"We tried to get out earlier but they canceled our flight," Davis told ABC News."The eye of the storm went right over us early Wednesday morning and we lost power where we were staying.

She said they were exhausted when they finally boarded their flight home to Manchester, New Hampshire. Shortly after Davis took her seat she said the flight attendant informed her and her"overtired" son that if she could not get him to wear a face covering they would be asked to leave the aircraft."It was very cold and cruel," fellow passenger Taylor Cournoyer said.

"I don't know what you want me to do to keep the mask on him," Davis said through tears in the video."What do you want me to do -- duct tape his face? He's 2 years old, he doesn't get it!", but the policy has come under scrutiny as more stories of mothers being kicked off flights surface.

This policy should be changed. Two years old is toddler age. Too young to understand about the wearing of masks. The age should be 4 years old and above.

Stupid! The kid is too young!

I completely support the airline in this situation.

Get off the plane that’s what

Mom with 6 kids shouldn’t be flying. Driving would be a better option.

As far as I'm concerned, they traumatized that poor child and humiliated the mother. I hope they get sued for emotional distress. Theres a good case for it. Bad move, American Airlines.

They deplaned the whole plane!! Wtf.

Are masks recommended for children 2 and under?

This is total BS, they can’t except a toddler to wear a map!!!

Find other means of transportation if you can’t follow the guidelines! It’s a pandemic people with the death toll rising. This is the new normal.

Yeah they ain't better than anybody else!!

And the guy a couple rows ahead is not wearing his mask correctly. Flying is dangerous because too many people are selfish and uncaring about their fellow citizens.

First of all the video says jet blue and the article says American airlines, fake news

Kindness and compassion stays at the door when your child’s life is on the line. They could just as well rented a car and drove home. We did it on 9/11 days sfter that disaster.

This is obviously racist

This is dumb

Most preschools don't have the kids wear masks because they know they won't be able to properly wear them. But tell me again how you trust our educators with that decision? Ah, right. But 2 year olds should just behave.

He's two years old, anyone with kids knows the dregs of the terrible twos, let's be realistic

Why does this article say both JetBlue and American Airlines? Which one was it?

I thought the mandate was that 2yr olds were exempt, for suffocation concerns.

You knew the airlines rule and you knew your son would not comply and put him on the plane anyway. The airline was right, you were wrong.

Why is this lady flying with 6 kids during a pandemic? Stay the fuck home or drive. Nobody wants your dirty noisy kids on the plane. Especially if you can’t control them.

Parents like this one don't know how to educate their kids 🤔🤔

I blame the parent. My 2 year old wears her mask anywhere and everywhere. Almost never complains. Teach and learn even though I think the mask situation should be voluntary

Don't bring your damn kids on the plane wear you're damn mask...

Wow. The mom is not thinking at all! I know she loves her baby, but really?

American airlines higher ups need to change this policy. As a mother, overtired two year old's do not get it. My heart breaks for this mom.

You don’t fly with a 2 yr old during Covid. Duh!

i can't believe ANYONE is flying and especially with a toddler drive or don't travel

Well she should have checked him in with the luggage like any woke person

We’re is a weird time. Please people. Leave the kids alone. You’re not gaining social media cool points berating a child and their mother

All it takes is one child to either catch or spread the virus, then people will want to sue the airline for negligence. Can't fault the airlines.

I spent 30+ years with infants, Toddlers and “Two’s” as a ECE teacher. You can’t force a child at that age. It’s even iffy for 3 yr olds.

Umm.... my 2 year old knows that he has to wear a mask in public. Just like he knows he has to wear pants in public.

Being a parent and helping him get used to it might help. Having an infantile temper tantrum ... not so much.

Bet if it had have been a Spiderman mask he'd have worn it justsaying !!

Then dont subject your own child to that situation! U knew the rules!

scamdemic2020 wakethefckupAmerica yourebeingplayed

But how can a mother force a 2yr old kid to wear something he doesn't want to. Kids must be kids.

I can tell you from experience.. He's making it hard for me right now., It's a dictatorship.. We all need Donald Trump down Ok, hold on., He helped me to realize the cockroaches,, Wait, why am I stopping?.

How many times are you going to send this out? Enough.... 😐

Absurd

Why the fuck are people flying with their children during a pandemic?

Then don't fly.

this has to stop!!

Thought kids that young are not supposed to wear masks

I feel bad for this mother. It’s hard for children under 5 to understand why the mask is needed. My child is 3 and refuse to wear it we’ve try everything from iPad to bribes and he always shakes his head no.

The media trying to make a mountain out of a mold. Am really starting to dislike the media more and more. They are fanning the flames of racism,hate and pandering to uneducated people.

fucking sick world!

This is absurd. I hope that lady bankrupts the airline.

Obviously the pilot isn't a mother.

Omg people are supporting the airlines instead of the mother a bunch SHEEPLES

This whole mask agenda is BULLSHIT

You all up in arms about a two year old not wearing a mask but still thinking that as long as you are drinking and stuffing your face, the virus somehow doesn’t matter then.

First off I thought it said she , 🤔. Now it’s he ! 😧. Should of thought about this more clearly before taken 7 children on a flight that you can’t control , how would you feel if your children got sick from someone not were a MASK,

I mean really, sometimes you actually can't control them. My son has autism but I didn't know this when he was a toddler. I dont think I could have forced a mask on him

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Good. Too many parents let their child do whatever the hell they want to do.

All those flight attendants will be layed off soon for profit. I don't even feel sorry for them. Go apply at Masys to sell socks.

AmericanAir is corrupt 💯 6 feet in the restaurant + mask 6 feet in the coffee shop + mask 6 feet in line to the airplane + mask 0 feet & shoulder to shoulder on the airplane + mask is OK? They think you all are stupid to see how corruption works 🙄

the facemask is bushit.. same as social distance on a flight.. really? unless you own your own jet.. SHAME ON THIS POLICY IS unreal is fake just full of fear.. where is the social distance on a flight?

abc gets it. Ban masks. Love our Mothers. saveourchildren

IF he somehow carries the virus and spreads the virus and kills a man with a family, how the fuck you gonna explain it to the victim's son? 'Your father died because some other fuckers of your age refuse to wear a mask and we couldn't do anything' ?

The actual height of absurdity. What has become of people and companies that think this is ok? We’ve lost our collective marbles. The company should be ashamed of themselves, but they are probably not.

How pathetic on the part of American Airlines.

ESA AEROLINEA PROHIBIDO ENTRAR A CIELOS PERUANOS. AMERICAN AIRLINES? OR LATAM?

It is clear who did and did not read this story in its entirety. Stop bashing this mother! So many of you have forgotten what it's like to have small children.

This still going on😑

Stop with your BS like ANY parent has a ton of control over a 2 year old or even a 3 year old. Apparently dementia has kicked in for many of you who have grown children. Just stop! You don't know why a person is traveling so so judging. If you don't like it, don't fly yourself.

Lol at all of these people saying a parent should be able to force their 2 year old to wear a mask... I have a 2 year old today, she doesn’t do anything I ask — or even really comprehend.

What’s happened to our common sense A 2 year old being forced to wear a mask Too many people have forgotten just who a two year old is!! It has nothing to do with parenting, he’s a BABY!!I

Get a face shield

blm baby lives matter

So if everyone else is wearing a mask how would a 2 yr old be contagious to the mask wearers or dont masks work

Sounds like someone is about to become a millionaire.

BOYCOTT them stop buying there tickets and when stock prices plummet they’ll wake up

I haven’t hugged my grandchildren since February; traveling can wait, for this influencer and her son. If he’s not used to seeing his mom and her friends and family wearing masks, he’s definitely not going to understand on an airplane.

American airlines should be ASHAMED of themselves no 2 year old is going to keep a mask on especially a tired one

More Of People Being Victimized / Mistreated For VIRUS COVID19 Released By Corporations/ Scientist's / Government & Of Course They All Have Their Own Private Jets. They Invade / Kill Etc. & Become Government & You Are Illegals / Rioters/ Terrorist's Etc.🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ The Laws Is Flaws.

AmericanAir is absolutely the worst with kids.

To all those people that are criticizing the mother, how many of you had to force a mask on your two year old child on a plane? Or did you ever had a child , or do you at least know how to handle a two year old child? Stop the bullshit and keep your advices to yourselves!

Airlines must designate flights for ppl with toddlers.. bc they DO NOT understand and there is no way to make them.. is ANYONE associated with these airlines... parents?!!

that absurd abuse no limit is

That is ridiculous!!! A 2yr old should not have to wear a mask😡😡😡🤮

i am so sick of parents acting like it's everyone else's job to accept however their kid decides to act. particularly on airplanes.

Since when did 2 yr old start calling the shots

sick people in charge

Yeah, this is stupid. A 2 year old is basically a chimp in diapers.

If you are mom. More than likely you know if your kid will be able to wear a mask for a long period of time. If they can't then maybe you need an alternative plan for transportation.

jetBlue did what they had to to. I understand it’s a child, but if your child is uncooperative, then drive yourself.

Drive.

Just get them one of these and affix it on.

But go into a Resturant with a mask walk a few feet to your table and take it off. Stupidest shit I’ve heard of

Unbelievable. These dumbasses on this thread either A) Don't have children or B) They had a sedated child. Not all children are the same and it can take until 4 yrs old to grasp the concept. Especially in boys. Geesh some aren't potty trained until 4. It isn't about parenting.

Rent a car save you peace of mind.

ridiculous.

How about drive?

Another one takes the bus..

Well don't fly with your children. Child abuse

33stan33 This sh.t has to stop somewhere mask don't work for a virus to begin with

So sad and lack of empathy for humanity!

Bad parenting 101. I understand being a parent is a difficult job but ffs stop being lazy and learn to tell your child no.

The wording on her Instagram is very karen.

If at two, a child is required to sit and be buckled during a flight for their safety, they can wear a mask for safety. If not, they shouldn’t fly.

Why are the airlines not required to follow CDC guidelines. Children 2 and under are not required to wear masks.

Thank you Twitter people for making me feel more intelligent. After reading what people have to say with regard to a 2 year old and Mom getting kicked off a plane...I am an absolute genius. The stupidity never cease to amaze me.

Trying to make a two year old wear a mask is insanity. Kicking them off the flight also crazy. You have no idea how stressful being a parent is in this current environment. Grow some compassion!

I'm probably wrong, but I thought kids under 6 yrs don't have to wear one.

Yep.. duct tape it shut or learn to discipline your child!!!

Sometimes we make very stupid rules. This is one of those times

This child was clearly overtired given their situation - they couldn’t have just given the mom and kid a pass? Chances are he would have fallen asleep fairly soon after take off and she could have slipped it on him. 🙄

Pathetic!

The CDC should change their ridiculous guidelines. No child under 6 has the capacity to understand this

Then don’t take a 2 year old on a flight. Duh.

Easy fix for this idiocy. File a lawsuit.

It’s a damn pandemic - if you can’t wear a mask don’t travel on a plane

Nah screw this. I am staunchly pro-mask. To the point the rednecks in my town bully me for it. Bad. But we have to make exceptions for children who do. Not. Comprehend. They also should have let the girl with Down Syndrome into Spring Market. ChangeMyMind

Lock the kid in the fuselage or give him a parachute

You fly on American Airlines and your surprised by shit service?

A two year old is forced to wear a face mask or disembark the plane. Ted Cruz doesn’t have to wear a mask on the same airline. How does that work?

If your kid can’t comply... don’t fly.

Children aged 5 years and under should not be required to wear masks. This is based on the safety and overall interest of the child and the capacity to appropriately use a mask with minimal assistance. Aug 21, 2020.

This mask BS has gone far enough. Even a 2 year old has figured that out. If you’re not covering your eyes as well, masks are worthless! You are still exposed. The virus doesn’t really care which mucus membrane you leave open.

Again, why should a two year old be forced to wear a mask when trump doesn’t. It’s a two year old.Are we saying a two year old is smarter than trump?

If children aren’t exempt from catching/spreading the virus, children aren’t exempt from mask wearing. NoMaksNoRide NoExceptions

Is this the same airlines that let Senator Cruz sit there without a mask?

AmericanAir what a disgrace!!!!

This is not the time. Just don’t fly.

How about, enough with the masks. This poor mom. I feel her pain.

I’ve been a mother of a toddler in full tantrum mode. It is one of the most frustrating and embarrassing feelings ever. It’s like I felt every eye staring at me in judgement. No one wanted to help but everyone wanted ME to do something and fast.

Control your damn kid, or get off the plane

Wait you all still arguing about Covid? 😅😅🤣

Americaairlanes you should be ashamed of yourself!! As a mother of a two year old who is super chill and compliant, she won’t wear a mask! IT’S A FUCKING TWO YEAR OLD!!! Won’t ever use your airline (once we travel again.)

She was on a work trip in Florida with a toddler?! Where is her husband or the sons father? Getting on a plane is not a good idea to begin with. Toddlers are finicky. She should have rented a car and drove. Its not that far of a drive.

That’s cruel. I mean a 2 year old is understandable. how do you explain and make a 2 year old keep a mask on. The world lost all Human navigation system. Everything is just a rule! Ugh

Many two-year olds don’t like wearing clothes, either.

Parental control! The world doesn’t revolve around a 2yr old! Maybe at home he rules. Parents?! Parents?! Parents?! 🤷‍♀️

Do you think that there will be any apologies for this kind of treatment after it has been discovered that this whole pray on your fear for political reasons scam has been exposed? Or should you get used to wearing a mask?

Very stupid. Airlines don’t deserve to stay in business

You cannot “make” a 2-year old wear a mask! The age requirement for mask is way too low. Perhaps 5-year old.

I have a 4 yrs old don with Autism and no matter how I try to make him wear a mask he won't, that's the reason I won't take him no where until he understands that he needs to wear it. It's sad but it's for his own safety.

A lot of the replies here show the degradation of society, no compassion, just finger pointing and insults to the parent, offers of alternatives when you don't know the situation, compassion and understanding doesn't exist in today's society, no WE, just ME ME ME!

Here’s an idea - you know the policy. If someone can’t or won’t adhere to policy don’t purchase the tickets.

I don't have a lot of sympathy. Taking a 2 year old on a plane? PRACTICE and prepare them for wearing a mask. It's not fair to expect your child to do something like that without practicing. It's not fair to ask other passengers to risk their lives because you wouldn't practice.

Nah. That's excessive

Using the Leftist's own delusional thought process, declare the baby to be a protestor--- then no mask required.

That is insane. The only rationable is the 2 years old. How sick this world is going. Sad.

how many of you older generation grew up, if you were out of line , you got ass whipping?

Shame on those of you who agree with this outrageous decision. Shame on American Airlines. And shame on us as a Nation who is okay with traumatizing a 2 year old.

A 2 year old should not be mandated to wear a mask. They are too little & don’t understand. Airlines are going overboard on this. Adults don’t wear them right. Are the airlines doing anything about that? I doubt it.

I seen Asian kids more well behaved then some. just poor parenting that don't believe in timeout. .

American Air Sucks when it comes to Customer Service.

But the toddler is very vulnerable to the virus. So yes. Duct tape. Great idea

Has duck tape worked?

Forget American air

Thought two years and under didn’t require a mask

I think we are missing the point here ... A mom frantic in tears was not given the compassion and empathy that we all need right now. Even these comments turn their back on the critical need for us to work together, to be human together.

Was she aware of the rule when she entered the airport? Did personnel remind her of the rule as she entered the plane? Or did she assume once she sat down, they wouldn’t do anything?

If only we had “adults only” flights.

The airlines should have a waiver form for parents to sign saying they will not hold the airline at fault if their child contracts Covid-19.

2yrs or under dont have to wear the mask.

Ridiculous. There needs to more flexibility with toddlers

An adult not wearing one is reckless and ignorant. But a 2 yr old.... C'mon, common sense America?

They could have the mother sign a waiver against COVID. He is a baby!

I don’t agree with shaming this mom. Every kid is different. But I will say my cousin’s kid is turning 2 and he learned to wear a mask back in spring. But sometimes toddlers decide they don’t wanna do something at the worst possible time and it sucks.

Oh, well. Drive.

SHAME ON AMERICAN AIRLINES!

As I read a few comments here, the Ignorance of this world is out of control.

I can’t imagine how devastating this was, it’s going to be a new norm. I guess. I just hope that people are practicing healthy clean safe procedures. So this corona virus 🦠 isn’t going to be widespread like people who think it’s not. I don’t want the virus ending up at my home.

Am I the only one who thinks that it would be pretty simple for airlines to have a few seats configured with a plastic curtain so that babies can travel without a mask?

Muchacho 'el coño!!!

She should have taught her kid to wear a mask before getting on the plane. She knew the rules. Their screaming &yelling, if silent carriers, would have sprayed Corona virus all over those who sat near them &the crew. Her flight vs spreading a deadly virus? It kills people!

that is insane, no common sense

This is outrageous conduct by AA and their crew including pilot. A two year old is not out and about at bars or a college dorm. How many two years in the world even had Covid. Ridiculous no science based disregard for customers and humanity

Out😂

AmericanAir this is utter insanity.

The situation could have been handled better by Jet Blue. With strict Covid rules, airline staff need to have more training to better handle this type of difficult situation. Stop acting like the air police. Have airline staff lost their compassion and their kindness?

If you can't control your child, you shouldn't be able to fly. The rules are to wear a mask. The kid needs to follow the rules. When I was younger, we never took my first daughter onto an airplane until she was 4 because she didn't sit still, and we didn't want to disturb others.

She should have prepared the toddler weeks before flying to get used to wearing a mask. Be the example...

I’m just amazed at the amount of viralogists, scientists, nurses, doctors etc... that are in this comment section. 🤷🏻‍♀️ And y’all (some, not all) wonder why there is so much hate in this world. MSM knows how to strike an emotion to get a rise.

GOOD!

Teach him before the flight. You knew it was required.

Did the pilot then really say, 'don't make me turn this plane around'?

Hey kids can spread it just like a grown up.🤷‍♀️ nothing is easy with kids but they must be trained to adapt.

They don’t need a seatbelt but a mask, let me write that down. A lot of ignorant people in here who know nothing about kids

This is beyond crazy! We have lost our minds! Sad to see this AmericanAir Delta hope you change policy!

If you can’t follow their rules, don’t get on their plane 🤷🏼‍♀️

You’re late, this is an old story.

He would have gotten those legs spanked 😑

Where was this energy of criticizing the child and the mother when CRAZY NANCY did the same? Hypocrites eh....

If you’re unable or even think you’ll have a problem flying for any reason, there are other options like driving the distance. The rules are rules and why make it traumatic for the kid and others. Drive it

its's child abuse, plain and simple. if you think it's any diffrent than that you are completely brainwashed. 5 years old should be the rule.

PEOPLE boycott everything just hold on for a year, boycott as many services you can because almost all the businesses think that wee need them not the opposite, so much disrespect for customers so F yall

Mask nazis in action.

She couod have said he is under 2? The Air steward is unlikely to go check passenger manifest to confirm his age. The mum could have played pikaboo using the mask to ease him into wearing the mask and then took it off once plane was in the air. So may things could have been tried

That is going too far. At two they do not understand snd do not have the attention span to keep still with mask. Lighten up airline!

All my nieces and nephews understand that they need to wear a mask in order to go out, and if you don’t then no going out 👀

To begin with, what kind of parent puts their child at risk in an enclosed space where social distancing is nearly impossible?

Airlines are going to have to rethink the mask policy when it comes to little kids. Maybe the parents sign a waiver stating the parents not the airline is responsible if their kid gets sick. Something needs to be done.

an abuse! the mask in children at that age is cruel! AmericanAir instead fills the flights full without distance! AmericanAirlines

American Air has hated their customers for quite awhile, even before the virus.

He should have to wear a Mask and American Airlines should be consistent. My heart goes out to all you parents, I am so glad I didn’t have to go through this with my kids. But some things cannot be negotiated. Not now.

🙄 people really? I don’t even think the cdc recommends children at that age

Sounds more like a parenting issue than an airline issue. If two-year-olds “do whatever they want” then parents have abdicated their responsibility. I’m guessing this parent can’t restrain her child from running into the street either. The child doesn’t need to get it, mom does.

This is stupid. He’s freaking 2.

Drive. Kids are super spreaders. Don’t let them on planes without NH95 masks on.

Dumb

I try my best to avoid AmericanAir after my own bad experience with their customer service.

Hahaha all these holy rollers!! Maybe DONT travel during a pandemic? Teach your child manners Hilarious replies for all you perfect people

This is not hard. If your child can't keep a mask on, DO NOT FLY. Easy. Respect the time we're living in, don't demand special favors.

Book Lovers 'Mesmerizing World of Short Stories' is live now. Amazon Users link 👇🏻

works for me.

So SAD and Ridiculously heart heartless ! I wouldn’t say that this world has forgotten to treat other with kindness and compassion, for many it has been very hard. Things have gotten worst !

Try getting a kiddo with autism to leave a mask on. That’s our struggle.

People saying “he’s two, wear the mask” clearly do not have kids. What a bunch of idiots

I’m sorry if their not old enough to understand

Put that mask under his chin and give em an apple juice box with a straw to hold the entire flight. Problem solved.

😡😡😡 they’ll kick a toddler off a plane but walk past two white women in line at the local market! Cowards

Then don’t fucking fly. You can’t control your children, don’t bring them in public yet. No one has to accommodate your BAD parenting or ill behaved children. Fucking breeders feel so entitled bruh.

These comments did not pass the vibe test. People are so quick to judge mothers. Do you all realize how young 2 year olds are? They don’t have the capacity to reason using logic. All this child knows is he doesn’t want to wear a mask on his face. Discipline has nothing to do w/it

Don’t fly with a 2 year old. Stay home or drive.

2 is WAY too young to keep their mask on... Airlines should've known it wasn't going to work.

Is there a way to design masks suitable to young toddler? One that won’t frustrate them and legally stay on plane. What about a fireman’s hat ( kid size) with a shield?

I feel with her, sometimes kids do not obey, and force makes it worse. She has 6 kids, guess she knows how to handle that. Shouldn’t be necessary to do this with a 2 yr. old.

U wrote JetBlue but it was American Airlines

Looool my mum would have sewn my mouth up right there 😭😭

Don’t fly JetBlue

Thought toddlers/infants were exempt?

Little sheep worried when their herd is confronted with conflict

This is infuriating.

Why you travel with a 2 year old in the middle of a pandemic, I have a 6 year old and the last thing I want to do is to get him in plane due to CoVid 19 for his safety in also for others safety.

Stupid Mother, VERY very DUMB, she should be removed from the Plane.

Are you serious? Poor mom and baby.

Don't travel with young children. Believe me, as a frequent traveler, most people on planes can do without young children crying, pulling your hair, etc. I have children, but would never impose them on other people. commonsense

This country has gone nuts CommonSense

Yes, duct tape his face. Then shut up so everyone else can get to their destination on time.

Just curious: does anyone know who creates policy for AA? Lawyers looking at liability or scientists w/final say in public health matters? Sick, cranky, how does one manage a 2yr old that just doesn’t know any better?

OOOOoooo boy I tell ya people are just plain mean and this flight crew is no exception... I know they have a job to do to enforce the rules but Jesus Christ Almighty it's a 2yr old child. Getting them to do anything other than eat, sleep, and poop is impossible!

What is wrong with American common sense?!? 😱🙈

Wonder if it had something to do with the baby being mixed🤔 I'm pretty sure it did!

Parents should be allowed to sign waivers for their children in this instance.

People who wear an uniform kinda forgets about common sense and decide to follow rules by the letter

oh, come on

The rules of the airline, just like stores says Everyone must wear a mask. Just last week a 4 year old died from Covid. Since this started, you get them to wear the mask for the safety of the family, however you choose to do it. We made a game of it, bought a variety of fun ones.

Excessive

Some kids are strong willed. Ignorant people calling for discipline for the kid clearly have never had a kid be strong willed and be very difficult listeners. We struggled with my son when we flew. Sometimes he wore and others he wouldn’t. I feel for this parent

Am I the only one that read “2 years old”? How the hell are you supposed to teach a 2 year old to wear a mask? It’s not like the pandemic has been around for 2 years. And in my state 2 year olds aren’t required to wear masks.

anyone on a plane who breathes oxygen needs to mask up. the virus spreads thru the air. the main way you get it is by breathing it in. if for some reason a 2 yo can't wear a mask, maybe the age limit for flying should be set at 2.5 or 3.

Dude he’s two, he’ll die if he wears one wtf

To avoid this nonsense (always wonder if this stuff is staged) keep children home. Why fly now?

One reason I don’t fly AmericanAir

This is disgusting AmericanAir you will never have us as customers again!

When PC trumps sanity!

This 'wear a mask' battle now goes to long. I mean, a two years old child doesn't offer risk just because he isn't wearing a mask. A mask in him would be like placebo. America is getting sick in all levels.

Wow.. lots of people without children commented here. He is 2. More likely to not be compliant than to be compliant. I recall having to forcefully sit on my toddler to get her in the car seat on a plane. She never would have kept a mask on.

Common sense needs to take place at some point. Devin Nunes is fine though.

Total BS, this covid scamdemic is so old.

Parenting is your job.... case closed

Why are these parents caught so off guard by these rules? When I fly I constantly have to google weight/size limits for carry on and figure out which perfume bottles I can bring with me. During a pandemic perhaps its best to google the rules before getting on board.

Everyone writing things like “make it a game, make him wear the mask” has undoubtedly never had a two year old.

Traveling with a small child is hard as it is, but most parents anticipate this and prepare. The responsibility lies with her, although I am not without sympathy.

I have a two year old grandson that I worked with to convince him he looks “cool” in his mask. He has a Tiger mask that we purchased on amazon. Now we can’t get the mask off him. Let them have a say in what they will wear, don’t force an aseptic mask on them and expect miracles.

If the parent hasn't taught the child then the parent is at fault and they're putting others at risk so yes, they should be removed from the a/c.

If you’re that scared of a two year old not wearing a mask stay the hell home!❄️❄️❄️

So now the whole world knows you don't know how teach the importance of wearing a mask to your child.

Didn’t American Airlines allow another 2 year old to fly without a mask .. what was his name ? .. Ted Cruz..

She’s right.

You can't really expect a 2 year old to wear a face mask!

Everyone putting down the mom every state has a age limit here it’s under 8. He is 2 years old a child, She needs to sue them.

He is just a baby and doesn’t understand. On the other hand it’s a public place. There’s no right answer

Which flight is this? I will never fly with them.

Don’t fly with kids

I won’t ever fly American Airlines. That’s ridiculous.

She should have considered that before buying the plane tickets.

Drive your own car

Useless parents breeding their infection into the world you say!?

This guy is wearing his mask on his chin. Perhaps JetBlue could confirm he was also removed for the same reason?

Look at the idiot behind them “wearing” a mask - it’s a two year old..come on. Have you ever tried to force a 2 year old to do something?

KEEP YOUR BRATS AT HOME.........OMG IM SO SICK OF THEM.....

Children are huge vectors and dangerous to be around. A plane has little air apace. The woman should drive if she can’t teach her child to wear a mask.

it depends on the child as with all things i have seen children same age and younger wearing without a problem as with all things attitude with training

This is ridiculous.

Guys the pandemic is over. It died with rbg

child abuse and a crime against humanity to put masks on babes and developin' children... same with old folks who have a hard enough time breathin' fresh air... mask are more sickness... rebreathin' used air... long term consequenses for developin' kids... low/used air dumb (:~:)

American Airlines still can't get their sh*t together.

what is it with the 2-year olds of the world not wearing masks

Good call on my part to rent a car and drive for 2 days vs a flight that would have involved 3 airports.

She was traveling with her SIX (6) children!!!! Why do you have so many kids?!?!?

Can we stop it with all this outrage over things, whether it is masks, weddings, reunions, dinner parties, everything else under the sun as tho it is supposed to outrage us for not abiding or not supporting the main cause? Quit telling us about these people. They aren't news.

You mask god are out there! Nuts!!

Fun fact, at two years old kids follow good parenting.

Yeah like a piece of cloth is going to stop a virus in a metal cylinder that recycles its air for hours at time. 🙄

That's a tough one

come on AmericanAir you need to do better. a kid doesnt know better. Make it 3 years old.

😐

The replies on this are exactly what you’d expect from many Americans today. Ignorant, incompassionate fools.

8 years ago I would have told her to get her kids in line. Today, 2 kids later, I’d personally escort her and her family off the plane and try to comfort her. 2 years old? GTFOH with that mask stuff.

I'd rather the kid leaves it off rather than raise 10 kinds of hell making them wear it

Sad when the 2-year old is smarter than the adults 😢

Brave woman

Don’t travel with a kid or teach the kid to wear it, make it sound like a game to them.

2 year olds are exempt from mask rules. Why are the airlines being unreasonable here... what the actual...

Good grief. Traveling with young children is stressful enough as it is. Add on trying to have them keep a mask on properly can be impossible. Anyone have data on how many flight attendants have gotten Covid?

Common sense is gone. Idiocracy isn't just a movie. We're living it.

Mask nazis are in full effect...

Yet this women is too good to follow the rules

American Airlines, about to be bankrupt and they don't understand why.

These westerners should stop infantilizing their brats and smack them when needed....

The rule applies to everyone, even children. Each airline clearly states the terms before your purchase of a ticket. It is the parent's responsibility to ensure that their child complies.

kids also can get the Covi

Guess you could say the mother was not the impostor.

Enough of this...time to open the country back up....
