Actually, I can see this incident happening quite easily. Every parent with a child at work does the same thing. I remember taking my daughter to work. She was pretty underwhelmed. As far as she could see, all I did was sit in meetings and drink coffee. Yes, I was a product manager.
And I love the social media aspect of this story: a) a good divisive story, supported by b) real-time stats showing the public reaction. I'm sure the publisher/editor wanted more controversy but in general, people think nothing of the incident. But I'm sure there'll be some Senate investigation any day now.

Take your kid to work day?
MSNBC asks:
How would you feel if you were aboard one of the planes that was directed by a child at JFK airport on Feb. 17?
And the number one response: Wouldn't worry about it.
