It was insensitive, but totally accurate and hopefully made the parents think about the effects of their actions.
totally accurate? I am not sure. Are there examples where passenger has gone to jail for an incident like this? I can't think of one. They will be questioned. They will be talked to by security. And they will be put on another flight later. I cannot find even one case where an incident like this has led to someone going to jail when there is no violence, no threats, no security issues. Removed from flight, yes. But jail?
This is FA power tripping, clean and simple.
