Why are you guys acting as if this was some 7 year old? It’s a 15 year old. I maneuvered around Disney World by myself at that age. I stayed home alone. Why such faux outrage?
While at Disney World your parents didn't think you were at home in your room.
My only question is: was this fifteen year-old incapable of communicating “I am fifteen, and my mom is on this flight” to airline personnel, or did they ignore this information and boot her anyway.

I hope the parents sue Spirit for all they're worth (admittedly, that's not much) and I hope they collect every penny. This is simply unconscionable. How dare they separate a minor from her parent without the parent's consent or even knowledge? Honestly, not only should Spirit pay, but whatever employee did this should be fired and held personally liable, civilly if not criminally. A message needs to be sent that this is completely unacceptable.
The airline screwed up for sure but for Pete’s sake, the “kid” in question is fifteen years old. Who here was incapable of using public transit at fifteen years old? You probably shouldn’t admit it even if true.
How exactly is a 15 year old, who probably has no money, supposed to use public transportation to get from Fort Lauderdale, Fla. to Detroit, Michigan???

Yes, she's a 15-year-old . . . whose mother -- you know, the person who is legally responsible for the 15-year-old minor -- is on the same plane, blissfully unaware that her daughter -- who, again, she is legally responsible for -- is being removed from the plane without her (the mother's) knowledge or consent. And you see no problem with this?
