If the airline refuses service, either it will refund the money or place you on another carrier. YOU deal with that reality.
Your statement here is absolutely incorrect. Airlines are common carriers and can't refuse service to *anyone*, except under very specific exceptions. And "annoying children" is absolutely not one of those exceptions.
YOU deal with that reality.
P.S. - I have kids and I have traveled with kids. But I HATE when children disrupt the flight. But that doesn't change the system.
