Conflicting stories, but a witness said the flight attendant did say it wasn't her job.
Poor word choice but probably it wasn't a part of her job duties to clean up vomit. I imagine there might have been a very different outcome if the flight attendant had simply said she'd find someone to clean it up.
It almost sounds as though the mom expected the flight attendant to wipe down her daughter? Hoping I'm misinterpreting that because I'd be all kinds of creeped out being asked to wipe down a teenage girl with baby wipes or whatever they had available.
This was handled SO wrong. A confrontation could have been completely avoided.
If my child had vomit on him/her, I'd personally want to take her to the bathroom and do a proper job myself. I'd want a pair of rubber gloves, and then I'd make SURE it was all cleaned off properly, rather than leaving a busy flight attendant to do a half-assed job of wiping it off.
Hopefully, during my time in the bathroom, the flight attendant would have swapped (not just wiped) the seat cover for a new one, properly cleaned off any other surface that the vomit might have gotten on. ONLY then, would I be okay for my child and I to sit back down in our designated seat.
They must have some kind of criteria for cleaning vomit, because I would think a LOT of people get sick on planes.
THIS IS ONE GOOD REASON YOU SHOULD TAKE A CHANGE OF CLOTHES IN YOUR CARRY ON. i ALWAYS DO!
What is up with all the stories like this these days? I recall one a few months back where someone had sat in vomit or got it on their shoe. And maybe another about someone who emptied their bowels in a seat? Something about airplanes???

A couple of months ago, there was one where the person sat in dog poo.
Other passengers (strangers) on the flight corroborate the version of events given by the passenger who was removed, so I don't believe what the airline says at all. If they were cleaning the plane before the passengers got on, how did they miss it? Probably the person responsible for that area didn't want to clean it and just ignored it.
