A US couple and their teenage daughter with autism were told to get off an
airplane after the pilot said the girl was making him "feel uncomfortable"
and made an emergency stop.
Donna Beegle was travelling with her 15-year-old daughter Juliette Forbes
from Houston to Portland when the United Airlines pilot landed the plane
at Salt Lake City and had the family escorted out, KOIN reported.
Ms Forbes has trouble expressing herself and Ms Beegle realised that she
had not eaten in some time. Her daughter was calm but she knew there was a
risk of her getting upset and so asked the cabin crew if there was a hot
meal she could buy.

It was when Ms Beegle explained that if her daughter did not get a
hot meal she might "get to the melting point" and maybe scratch someone,
that she received a dinner tray, ate and remained calm.
.

Around half an hour later Ms Forbes was watching television when the pilot
announced they were making an emergency stop in Salt Lake City, Utah,
because of a passenger "at the back of the plane who has behaviour
issues."
.
Police and paramedics came on board when the plane had landed to tell the
family they had to leave and that the pilot had said he did not feel
comfortable flying with her there.
.
Ms Beegle said she stood up and asked passengers if anyone had a problem
with her daughter. "The people were like 'no, leave her alone'" she told
KOIN.

A family has claimed they were forced to get off a United Airlines flight
after it made an emergency landing in Utah because the airline said their
autistic daughter was being "disruptive".
.

.
She said Juliette would not eat snacks they had brought with them for the
journey and that she needed food quickly to avoid her having a "meltdown".
.
Dr Beegle said: "We were shocked to hear them say we're going to make an
emergency landing in Salt Lake City. We have a passenger in the back of
the plane who has behaviour issues.
.
"I asked them why and they said 'the captain doesn't feel comfortable
flying to Portland with your daughter on the flight'."
.
Writing on her Facebook page, Dr Beegle said: "Juliette ate and was
watching Pocahontas when we heard the flight attendant say 'we will be
making an unexpected landing in Salt Lake due to a passenger in the back
having issues'.
.
"As [a] mom I could not stand the way Juliette was being treated.
.
"This was a sheer case of ignorance. Prejudice, ignorance and mistreatment
are all too common toward people facing poverty."
.
Footage of the moment the family were removed from the flight has been
posted online. In it, passengers can be heard calling for the family to be
allowed to remain on board.
.
United Airlines has issued a statement.
.
It read: "After working to accommodate Dr Beegle and her daughter during
the flight, the crew made the best decision for the safety and comfort of
all of our customers and elected to divert to Salt Lake City after the
situation became disruptive.
.
"We rebooked the customers on a different carrier and the flight continued
to Portland."
.
The family has filed a complaint with the Federal Aviation Administration
and plans to file a lawsuit against the airline.
