You know - I'm going to call you on this. Do you have kids? HOW DO YOU HANDLE THE SITUATION? The government has laws that we don't agree with (and in this case not even laws but administrative guidelines would like be the right term) but while they are in place have to abide by within the parameters we are allowed. The poster has stretched those parameters to ensure her feelings are clear (and she might want to add something about talking to the kid while it's happening to ensure they know it is not acceptable)

Not flying unfortunately is not an option for many. Whether it's because they are visiting their grandmother who isn't well enough to visit them, or they attend school away from home or for whatever reason that quite honestly is not your business. They need to fly - so HOW WOULD YOU SUGGEST THEY DO SO?
