The world is big enough for someone to live on their own terms and get what they want by asking for it correctly and not arguing about it like a heated debate. But things aren’t always fair, so cases like these need coverage. A woman was removed from a Frontier Airlines flight after a video of her arguing with another passenger went viral, sparking debate online about who was at fault and how parents should manage their kids while flying.
The video, shared by TikTok user @bookthevacation, shows a man accusing the woman of taking his assigned seat and letting her kids misbehave. He claimed her children, seated behind him, were kicking his seat and causing a disturbance. He also said the woman moved from her original seat to his without permission.

“I paid for my flight like everybody else!” the man shouted, as he tried to explain the situation to a flight attendant. The woman insisted the seat was hers and got into a shouting match with him, defending her kids by saying one was “a baby” and accusing the man of hitting her with his phone, as reported by The Atlanta Black Star.
Other people on the flight also got involved in the fight, with some supporting the man and others trying to handle the situation. At one point, the woman appeared to confront the man physically, prompting someone to yell, “Can somebody grab her?!” Another passenger grabbed the man’s arm to pull him away, which sparked frustration from others who believed the woman was the aggressor.
Someone commented, “Why did they grab the man instead of the person causing the scene?”
The clip later showed a police officer boarding the aircraft, after which the video ends. The clip received over 500,000 views, with many commenters siding with the man. One wrote, “She is 100% in the wrong. Teach your kids how to act in public.”
The woman was eventually forced off the plane.
While parenting is a complex, selfless, and long journey, it is often subjective; hence, the women should have handled the situation more gracefully. These minor incidents are now easily public thanks to social media sites like TikTok, Snapchat and Instagram.
In another instance, American Airlines was slammed after a Black TikToker alleged she was the only first-class passenger denied food (given only a drink) during a flight. The content creator, known as @johbidoo_official on TikTok, shared a video that showed an empty tray table despite being in first class.

After the woman’s video went viral and garnered over 4.8 million views, mixed comments flooded social media. Some people supported the influencer; others called her a desperate attention seeker. Either way, these instances prove how technology and social media can make or break a judgment in today’s time. Therefore, people need to use the tool effectively, considering the impact it can create on society.
