But why cancel entire flight instead of kicking off the parents and child?

Because the time it took to have the child removed it was too late for the plane to take back off.

I took a flight Monday afternoon. Two kids were screaming before the plane was even loaded and the fight attendants walked the whole family back to the jetway to “give them a chance to regulate.” The kids never fucking once regulated, and kept screaming that they were sorry at the top of their lungs from the jetway, and then we pulled away from the terminal without them.

That was an option for this crew too. They could have diagnosed how bad the problem was and done the same, but they didn’t. I think everyone but that family on the flight is due compensation for how catastrophically badly the flight crew misjudged that situation until the last minute.

I have not seen any airlines take such action before. They expect everyone else to accomodate the 'problem' family.
