Mom Claims She, Daughter With Autism Were Kicked Off United Flight

Donna Beegle claims she and her special needs teenage daughter were mistreated, which the airline denies.

[@diannewallace4829]

I was on 30 day Princess Cruise that covered most of Asia and I noticed a woman and her autistic child in the dining room. Her child was VERY loud and it bothered all of the people eating. I have some experience with autistic children so I made a very bad decision and walked over and asked the woman if I could help in some way. Normally that would be welcome but the woman flew into a rage and said there was "nothing wrong and to mind my own business", so I did. I noticed them several more times in that first week, always with the child screaming at the top of his lungs. Long story short, a couple days later I was sitting on my balcony and i noticed a scuffle on the gangplank between a woman and security personnel. It turned out to be the woman kicking and screaming as she and her child were physically thrown off the ship. One wonders if this woman on the plane even bothered to mention to the attendants or the boarding staff that she had an autistic child who might have behavior issues on the flight. Many of these mothers insist that their child is "normal" This is not true. They need special care and treatment and these women sometimes refuse to accept that..

[@peterdakduif4804]

So because someone has autism means they cant do enjoyable things that normal people do?

[@nuggetanimation7217]

i don’t like the princess cruise my family went when i was really little on Christmas eve and my sister sat on the carpet floor and when she sand up she notice thag there was blood on her knee a sewing needle got into my sisters knee and got trap in her kneecap my parents were fricking out saying that they need to go to the hospital but they refuse and got there medical center who did nothing to help and the crew mates said “we’re sorry about what happen but do u want a free picture with santa clause?” absolute bs they just didn’t want to get sued but they did now we think of this tragic moment after SEVEN surgeries the needle went on of her leg thank god but she has a huge scar on her knee now and it hurts to walk and her knee sometimes pops and she can’t run anymore and we never went on a princess cruise again f**k u princess do better

She really shouldn't have to announce such a thing, as if a child is radioactive and everyone needs to banish them. Human empathy is why we survived as a species, to help each other out. Stop being an evolutionary dead end and learn to treat disabled people with empathy

[@AA-iy4gm]

no, nothing to do with empathy, the child is disabled and needs special care which regular people don't know how to do as they aren't specialized in it AND they also deserve peace on their vacation, where is the empathy for them if they worked themselves so hard for a whole year or more just to have a vacation and then they have to endure a continuously screaming child? Screaming just like yelling or barking causes a physical stressful reaction in people and they have the right to say that that's not okay, if you're okay with it then go forth and volunteer to be in those unpleasant situations but don't bully others into it by attempting to make out as if its something to do with their empathy.

[@colinwillis3392]

An interesting fact, I was actually flying to Portland with my wife on this very same flight. We saw what happened. One part of me felt like it was for the safety of all of the passengers and crew members, but another part of me felt mortified. I had no idea how to feel. Part of me wanted to be like the man across the aisle from me, keeping in mind that we were in first class, but another part of me wanted to beg them not to kick them off the flight.

We have two healthy daughters and an autistic son. We are quite used to walking on eggshells around people, because we don't want to frighten kids, disturb people and generally get into trouble. But whatever we do, sometimes stuff just happens. So you can guess how jittery we were when we were flying home from Tokyo to Budapest (via Moscow), because we had heard stories like the one in the video. We had been training our son for months before the flight to behave normally and blend in, but of course we could not perfect his in-flight behavior.

How many cases of autistic people you hear on planes that make scenes??? Very little to ZERO. Cause those people get prepared, don't take fucking planes which are much more likely to scare people or the pilot, they could use cars, trains, etc. But no they wanted to use a plane. So they took a gamble and were wrong. It sucks that they had to get off and sucks MORE FOR THE PEOPLE INVOLVED, since they had no part in it and they lost time also I assume. We don't even fucking talk about the other passengers, who blame the airline but should blame the family. So because they knew this shit could happen, didn't have a hot meal prepared, or had the option to buy it (some airlines provide hot meals even in non first class as far as I know) they caused this to happen, ruined the flight for everyone else AND THEN THEY SUE? Like fuck off. Take the loss, apologize to the people and company, next time prepare better. This sounds so stupid from my point of view it wouldn't amaze me if the family didn't plan this to make free money for life by suing a huge company. And don't tell me people don't want free unearned money, don't be naive. I hope AA would just issue a rule about this crap so in the future they can't get sued, or not allow autistic people WITH SERIOUS REACTIONS, on planes.

Why don't parents who KNOW something like this may happen, contact the airline beforehand in order to PREVENT things from happening? If the mother knows that the daughter gets unruly if she doesn't have a warm meal, then why didn't she contact the airline before the flight and arrange for one?

I don’t work for United but I know for a fact, NONE of the US domestic carriers are allotted extra “hot food” to offer non-1st class/business class passengers on flights. If we have 16 1st class passengers, we are provided 16 1st class meals. That’s it. No exceptions. And every single passenger eats their food because they not only prepaid for it, they also preordered their exact meal, days or weeks ahead of time. We are not at liberty to declare to a paying 1st class passenger, “Sorry. There’s a family demanding your meal for their daughter so, tough luck.” We also aren’t a magical restaurant. We can’t just make food appear at 30,000ft. We only have what we are catered on the ground. There’s literally nothing we can do, which is exactly what they would have explained to the mother. I’m willing to bet my retirement the food that ended up being provided was from a flight attendant’s own personal packed lunch cooler from her home, which is technically not allowed by any airline and FAA policy. She could have lost her job for doing a good deed and giving away her own dinner but clearly, the complaints and behavior escalated. What would this family have done had they been on Southwest? They don’t offer any meals on their flights because their exclusively B-737 retrofitted fleet is not equipped with ovens, 1st class, or the required galley space in order to do so. Furthermore, airlines don’t just divert for a mild inconvenience such as a teenager making quiet moaning sounds as the parent is claiming. It costs A LOT of money and the pilots and flight attendants are often the ones who take the brunt of the blame and have to submit tons of paperwork to make sure they aren’t issued disciplinary repercussions. I’d like to see the other side of this story because there seems to be way too many holes in it.

Feed her before boarding or bring hot meal on.

[@CeFabuloso]

Yup, I thought the same thing. It really sucks that her kid has autism and was having a meltdown, but she knew before boarding that she wasnt provided a meal with her seat. She's saying she "needs a little support" for her special needs child, well waiting until your at cruising altitude before asking is stupid on her part. Absolutely no one was prepared or even able to help at that point, and that's 100% her fault. I also try to be patient with crying kids or anyone with a disability like this, but she probably wasn't "just" making noises. She was probably becoming aggressive for the pilot to have made the decision to make an emergency landing. They don't land for someone irritating other passengers- but they do if there is someone being unruly or violent. And child or not, autistic or not, I'd be willing to bet money that she was bordering on violent. Again, not the kids fault, but safety comes before prioritizing one unruly passengers comfort, especially when there's literally nothing you can do to fix it (like giving her a hot meal that doesn't exist).

When a person has to travel with special needs, at least in Canada, there is a provision that you can make with the airline for that. If they know in advance what the situation is, they will work with passengers. They’ve been good for my family that way. But if Airlines are going to be expected to make exceptions, and be prepared to serve meals to people who didn’t order them in advance, or to provide first class amenities to people outside of first class, on no notice, It will quickly become a policy that when somebody wants their way to start yelling. People are horrible that way. This woman is here to complain bitterly about the airline. But she knew her daughter. She knew what the situation would be and made no arrangements. Then, she expected the airline do you have packed an extra meal, and to provide a first class amenity to her daughter without having made arrangements for it. That’s just not right. And that’s just not the airlines fault. This woman could’ve prevented this whole situation and chose to just show up and let the airline deal with it, as though they would be forced to deal with what she did not provide for. She knew that her daughter would raise hell if she didn’t get her way. I understand that this is a disability, but this woman could foresee this without any problem, yet failed to make arrangements. She is truly in the wrong here. To argue that the airline is at fault for not being prepared to accommodate somebody whose needs were foreseeable, yet they were not notified, is it responsible. These days, it seems like nobody can accept responsibility for their own actions and negligences.

[@inferniakasai4943]

Just to be realistic on the matter, it seems like nobody is talking about the other perspective. She is a mother of an autistic child, meaning, she needs to be extra aware of how to plan ahead for her child that needs special care. So, in this case, if she needs warm meals, then as she was booking the flight, it was her responsibility to find out whether the economy class for that specific flight offers warm meals or not. If not, she could have booked business class instead. (I guess if she was willing to pay for the warm meal, she would probably also afford first class anyway). Or if not that, just call the airline either way in advance to ask if there is any way to prepare a warm meal in the plane ahead. She could have also got special aluminium boxes to keep meals warm for a longer time. My point is, it is mainly the mother's responsibility to plan ahead, plus, the flight attendant has to follow protocol. If he made an exception, he would not only break the rules, but that may also cause more people to think they can take advantage of that.

@@Aerojet01 the noises aren’t forced they’re usually caused by tics, she most likely has a more severe version of autism. the mother said she isn’t vocal.

@@lillie2962 Maybe so, but I think the child plays on it a bit to get her own way.

That pisses me off they rather have a child screaming the whole flight instead of having a hot meal for a child with Autism 🤦‍♂️

[@DrummerJacob]

Cool script. Now, please show me a single captain that said "aww so cute" about kids screaming in the plane. Just back your dumb copy+paste script style YT comment with a single shred of evidence. Ready, go...

[@DrummerJacob]

@@icarusa.4757 Do you think an airlines should magically guess that a guest is autistic by the way they demand 1st class services? I'm not understanding your position here. I dont know if you've ever owned a business, but I'm not aware of any businesses that cater to customers who scream and throw their hands around in an aggressive way because they aren't getting something they didn't pay for. Where in this video or in any news about this story does the mother claim to have told the staff that the daughter had autism? Where? She doesn't do it. I've looked. So don't have a standard that you yourself couldn't hold. You can't magically guess that a meltdown isn't just someone being a bitch, which is a situation that occurs every single day on airplanes.

[@Cure_Hana]

It’s because there are close minded people out there who assume that someone having autism automatically means they’re a braindead, screaming manchild. I was diagnosed with High Functioning ASD, and while I do have anxiety and struggle socially, I’m still able to operate as much as any other human being. Autism affects each person differently, and they shouldn’t be clumped together as a potential liability.

[@anthonycolon2859]

And I would not want that pilot as my pilot.

Anthony Colon some people are ignorant pricks. Just ignore ignorant people. They need to get out of their shells and live a little and get to know the world we live in filled with so many different and unique and amazing people...

[@alfr1]

You KNOWINGLY brought a disabled, loud, uncontrollable person on a plane? What did you expect to happen? They provide a service for 100 people in the plane, not just to cater to you or your child. If you needed the hot meal and personal extra service available only in First Class, why did you not book tickets in that section? They have little time to be patient and accommodating to EVERY flyer's needs, wants and demands so they will not disrupt the peace of everyone else. Be considerate of all those YOU are irritating.

Thats horrible. There's so many spoiled kids that scream during the whole flight and they have nooo health issues. And nothing happens to them. This is horrible

[@nashtatersgaming7450]

there are places to buy hot meals before boarding the plane.

[@MH-yj4qq]

To be fair, you’re allowed to buy hot food in the food court after you pass security. So the mother could have had hot food for her

[@jasmyng5494]

@Lucky Catnip or we could give flight attendants some training and not make autistic people pay extra just to exist.
