Family kicked off JetBlue flight over 2-year-old’s mask refusal

A Brooklyn mother is speaking out after JetBlue Airways forced her and her six children off a plane this week when her 2-year-old daughter refused to wear a mask. “I was shaken,” Chaya Bruck said. “My kids started crying. They didn’t know what was going on.” Passengers on the Orlando-to-Newark flight stood up for the family, asking those around them to bombard customer service. The 39-year-old Bruck was heading home from a family vacation in Florida Wednesday. Everyone in her party was wearing the mandatory masks, except her young daughter. “She never wore masks this entire few months,” she said. “I would never make her wear a mask, She’s a baby.” Bruck said three crew members told her she had to put a mask on her daughter, and one of them happened to be on her outbound flight and had told her the same thing. JetBlue requires masks for all passengers ages 2 and up.
