And that was when I just kind of said, ‘You know what? Maybe after she has a meltdown and she's crying and trying to scratch, then you'll help us,’” Beegle said.
Passengers were threatened. United did the right thing, 100%. The mother who made that threat should be on the "Do Not Fly List".
And anyone who thinks United did the wrong thing should be on the Do Not Fly list, too!

The mother changed her wording between interviews. The earlier version (see below) can't be that helpful to her case.
By the way, I don't think threatening to scratch the flight crew is any more acceptable than threatening to scratch other passengers.
