A couple kicked out of United Airlines as their toddler refused to wear a face mask

A couple claimed that they were forced to get out of a United Airlines flight as their two-year-old daughter declined to wear a face mask. The mother of the kid took to social media to describe her distress.

Eliz Orban shared a video on Instagram on Friday where she broke down in tears while she was at the airport along with her husband and daughter, Edeline, after coming off the plane.

"We just got kicked off a flight because our two-year-old would not put on a face mask," Orban stated, continuing that they were asked to deboard the aircraft as their daughter denied to wear a mask. The family was flying from Colorado to Newark, New Jersey.

She further added that the airline even banned them from taking any future flights with the carrier.

The video clip shows the flight crew commanding the family out of the aircraft even as they attempt to put a mask on their daughter's face. But the toddler is resolute on not putting the mask, and soon crew personnel leads up to the family, ordering them to leave the plane.

The airline has since clarified that the family has not been prevented from flying with United Airlines in future.

"Hello, sir. I'm going to have to ask you to grab your belongings and exit the aircraft," the operator can be heard as saying.

Orban's husband responded: "You gotta be kidding me. Why? We're over here keeping this mask on her face." However, the agent asks them to leave the plane even as the pair attempted to clarify that they couldn't overpower their daughter to place it on as she was 'crying'. The family is then seen assembling their belongings and leaving the plane.
