Southwest Airlines kicked a young family off a plane because their 5-year-old autistic son couldn't put on his mask
Cody and Paige Petek's young son is nonverbal and has autism and a sensory processing disorder
Southwest Airlines said it was following federal laws and that the family's son didn't meet guidelines for an exception to the mask mandate
Petek's lawyer, Anthony Marchetti Jr., said Southwest Airlines may have violated the Americans with Disabilities Act
