No. That is wrong.

Southwest generally requires large passengers to buy two tickets. But in
this case, the child's parents had purchased only one.

No doubt, that is where the problem arose.

Myself, I'm not thinking too well of the obese traveling. I got pinned
into my seat recently by a fatty who took the adjacent seat and part of
mine.

I have no problem whatsoever for anyone who buys two seats. I have a
problem when they take up more than one, when they are only entitled to one.

This kid only bought one seat. Not his/her fault, but the parents who
no doubt were trying to save money. Perhaps they did not even know she
would need two. It's all rather complex with a young girl traveling
alone, stewardesses who are uninformative, and a customer who just
doesn't want to me jerked around. In an environment where the airline
has been harshly criticized for doing the opposite. We don't even know
how fat this girl is.

To make a blanket assumption on right and wrong in this case, I find
to be too republican for my taste.
