Family Kicked Off Delta Flight,

Threatened With Jail, for Refusing to Give Up Child's Seat

A California family says they were kicked off a flight — and threatened with jail for the adults and "foster care" for the children — for refusing to give up a seat for their 2-year-old son, despite having paid for it, in the latest controversy for a major airline that was caught on video.....
An airline employee is then heard telling him, "So this is a federal offense. You and your wife could be in jail and your kids will be in foster care."

"We're going to be in jail and my kids are going to be what?" Schear interrupted.

The Schears said they were then forced to find their own hotel, transportation and purchase new tickets for a flight the next day — all after midnight.

I didn't know flight attendants were allowed to give legal advise as well.
