It used to separate all family members, but now I think the policy is changed to keep families together if the child would otherwise be an unaccompanied minor. I think it's just not practical otherwise. I remember being on flights where they'd separate someone barely old enough for her own seat from a parent and then when the parents realized they'd be separated, Allegiant would be demanding the passengers pay $35 a pop if they wanted to sit in one of the available seats next to their 3-year-old child. Meanwhile, some poor passengers were stuck next to a crying, abandoned, 3-year-old 10 rows away from Mom or Dad.

Maybe someone reported them to CPS for endangering the welfare of a minor. Thus they had to stop.
For me, if they split me and my child up, fine. I imagine the passenger sitting next to my crying three year old will be very glad to change with me, for free. If not, well, <shrug> they will have a much worse flight than I will, won't they!
