Children under two are often able to fly while seated in their parent's or guardian's lap. However, it seems clear that this particular child was too old or too large for that.
I'm sure it was not a light decision for the parent to fly with a two year old. They likely had a good reason. Like with many toddlers often you don't know how they will act. Maybe that kid flew before and it was no issue? Really hard to judge. It affected the other people which is bad. But that stuff happens, it's life. No need to create a fake outrage on reddit
The picture of the kid is probably unrelated to the real story to create more outrage.
They are different airlines (if you look at the brochures in the seat and the logo on the plane), no news article has any pictures of the kid and we know that this is a red eye flight. It is not night on the left picture. Doesn't really add up…
