yes - I think not. If the unruly child is a passenger on a domestic flight then the rules are those of the U.S. and unless the child poses a danger to other passengers or to him or herself, then the child's misconduct is the parent's responsibility.

It is not "disorderly conduct" when you simply bring your child to school late. For conduct to be "disorderly", the parents has to behave in a disruptive or unruly way, fight or be unreasonably noisy, creating a commotion, and so on.
The school system will send out a truancy officer, who will site the child for truancy and the custodial parent for allowing it. Your friend, the noncustodial parent, has recourse in civil court. He/she can take the custodial parent back to court (with the school records) and file to be named managing conservator.
