3. She looks like she immediately began "protesting" exactly like a spoiled child does--she is looking around for some place to put the stroller so "it will be ok". Rather than having a conversation with the employee to reach a negotiated resolution.
IMHO--mom and baby should have been put off the airplane to re-consider growing up!
Its people like your attitude that makes things much worse.
1. She likely have bought two tickets since one child is in car seat and the other is on her hand. So technically she is not overloaded. As she is allowed 2 piece of carryon. FAA rule would not allow her to sit two kids on her lap. So you are wrong here.
2. From the video, you can clearly see a red spot on her forehead. The 2nd woman passenger also came to defend the mom. She was later intereviewd and confirmed that the FA hit the mom and missed the child in the car seat.
3. Negotiate what? She got hit on forehead. What do you expect her to do. Continue to get beat up?
