I am offended by this post as a road warrior.
Everyone else got to the gate by the deadline. Is the OP is suggesting that over 100 other passengers should be held up for this mother and son? The aircraft could lose it's takeoff window, people miss their connections and subsequently business meetings, weddings, funerals, etc. It doesn't matter 20 seconds, 20 minutes, or 20 years late--you missed the deadline. They need to cut it off at some point.
And the fact that you mentioned that someone cried is absurd and irrelevant. We should have held up an aircraft because grown adults are crying?
The original poster makes me sick. People like you are what make flying such an unpleasant experience.
