Family kicked off United Airlines flight and banned for life because crying toddler refused to wear Covid mask
A FAMILY was booted off an United Airlines flight and banned from flying with the company after their distressed toddler refused to wear a mask.
The two-year-old’s parents, who were masked themselves, had been struggling to get one on the infant when a flight attendant ordered them off the plane.
But the child refused to comply with the airline's rules about wearing masks.
An eagle-eyed flight attendant then came up to them and announced they were being booted from the jet.
Eliz said her husband explained he was trying to get the mask on, but they still kicked off the flight.
And Eliz says United has permanently banned them from flying.
Posting about her trauma on Instagram, she said: "This just happened seven hours ago and I am still sitting here in confusion, disbelief, disgust and humiliation.
"We were asked to leave the plane after it had rolled out, and they had to bring it back to the gate, because our two-year-old daughter would not comply and keep her mask on.
She said her seven-month-old son called Finn kept pulling off her face mask while breastfeeding and she had a hard time getting it back on.
"[Finn] kept ripping my mask off because, he's like, 'Mom's under there. Peekaboo!
"What the heck is going on? I want to see your face.'"
Justice said she struggled to keep it on and hold onto her baby but was asked to leave the plane.

She said: "I never once removed it.
"It was very bizarre. I just don't know. I felt targeted, genuinely."
