From what I read it was not just a tantrum, but because she would not
take her seat the flight had already been delayed. The family was
removed to avoid further delay to the remaining passengers, some of
whom may have had connecting flights.

It was a tantrum multiplied by 10,000. Add to it the parents saying "But... but... she

can't obey.
