A couple and their children flying on Jet Blue with their two-year-old child couldn’t get the child to keep her face mask on. The airline’s policy, up until Wednesday, was to allow small children to fly without it.
The flight attendant kicked the family off the plane because the child had the face mask off.
There is a video of the heated confrontation with the attendant who told the mother of six to deplane due to the two-year-old not wearing a mask. He could be heard crying in the background of the video.
“You realize she’s two,” a woman told the stewardess.
“I do. And also, it’s not something that we can excuse,” she answered.
“Should I tie her hands? What should I do? Should I hold her hands?” a woman, seemingly the mother, asked as the stewardess told her she had to deplane.
The mother explained that she has six children and paid for the seats, but the stewardess insisted on the family deplaning. Others on the plane jumped into the conversation to defend the family.
At one point, the woman said that she would put a mask on the child, but the flight attendant said it was “already too late,” causing even more tension.

From @JetBlue website: “Small children who are not able to maintain a face covering are exempt from this requirement.”

The new Jet Blue policy, as of Wednesday afternoon, requires a mask for children two years and older for the entire flight. It goes against CDC policy.
