I would have said first wipe the seat off and then I would have said I've paid for a seat and sat down. Some kids can learn fast. Let them away with it and you're just feeding the ignorance.
I wish GO customer service would make announcements on this subject (signage in stations and trains would be helpful too).
Of course it wouldn't stop people from trying to save seats, but it would give some teeth and credibility to the folks who call them on it (who could then legitimately demand that they move their crap!).
Explicit signage listing the details of what is improper behaviour and the right of customers to insist on their rights? What a novel concept. It might work, but given past GO inaction, we'll never know. In th emeantime, if she's sitting crosslegged like taht, you just turn 180 and jump up and do a reverse cannonball onto the seat (bonus if you squash her knee).
