I wouldn't automatically assume this is simply an "entitlement" issue.
Exactly!! Some people have non-visible medical conditions that might require frequent trips to the bathroom, which makes sitting in a window seat painful for even a few hours. I'm one of those people that switched from always sitting on the window to always sitting on the aisle, just so I don't inconvenience anyone if I get up to walk the aisle or use the bathroom.
I feel sympathetic to the family, but it wasn't like the kid was sitting alone. This is very different than previous cases where a pax was in one section and caregiver in another.
