Yuck!!! Don't the airlines have rules against this? I know I would expect compensation if the airline allowed this to happen next to me. A crying child is one thing but when a parent endangers the health of other passengers to releive a childs minor discomfort, they have definitely crossed the line. Kids crap, kids cry, get over it. If there is an 'emergency', either the parent chose to wait too long, or their child is probably too sick to fly, in which case bringing them onto the plane is irresponsible and negligent parenting. Either way, there is NO excuse for exposing other passengers to fecal matter (food service excluded ). And before you ask, yes I do have kids.
