A Colorado mother and her family were fighting for their plane seats after Southwest Airlines booted them over fears their 3-year-old son, Orion, wouldn’t wear a mask. Caroline Scott told "Fox & Friends" her family was "discriminated against" for her son’s disability, as Orion suffers from sensory processing disorder, and wearing a mask may be "challenging" for him. The Colorado mother went on to say the Southwest Airlines representative confirmed they would note the information on her son’s ticket and there would be "no issue" when she checked in. "I have doctor's notes, an occupational therapist note supporting us," Scott told Earhardt.
