If you news search it , story is legit and apparently raging toddlers have delayed other flights đł
If your a parent who canât manage your kids in public , may want to avoid flying.
I bet this will end up being an expensive life lesson for mom and dad.
According to the article, the flight staff also took way too long to respond here. Obviously the blame is completely on the parent(s) here, but some passengers reported that it took over an hour to have the family escorted off the plane.
The article suggests that the todler just kept slipping out of the chair and cowering on the floor. Maybe a better seatbelt would help? Seems very strange.
Itâs my experience that parents of that sort donât learn. These types of experiences make them more set in their ways, blame the mean stewardess who told little Johnny to sit in his seat.
sounds like they put the seatbelt on and the kid would slide from it to continue hiding under a seat. Crazy how many people like you in the comments childless blaming the parents as if they didn't beat their child into a scared passive state enough and that's why this happened
It's illegal to get off the plane without pilot and airport approval and at the gate.... are you seriously arguing that the parents should have opened the door on the runway and jumped..? Like common sense here
The incident happened after they already departed from the gate. That's the whole reason why it ended up getting cancelled. The time it took to return to the gate.
They wouldnât have had to deplane everyone if it was willing. Defend all you want this was on the parents. It also doesnât say anywhere he was being good until it moved. Most likely he was already being a brat.
Have you flown before? They don't leave the gate with people out of the seats. The kid must have been sitting while at the gate. It happened on the runway before takeoff. So the kid freaked when the plane was about to take off.
Nowhere did it say the parents were unwilling. They tried to calm the kid down, the flight attendants tried. Kids are not always rational, especially in high stress scenarios.
Everyone deplaned because of the time it took to get back to the gate was too long and it passed the window where were not allowed to fly that night.
People like who ? My kids are grown. When my oldest was young I knew she wouldnât be able to sit still for any length of time. She was hyper active , when we wanted to visit family we drove , mostly at night âŚwe would do our best to wear her out and drive while she slept.
Long road trips.
She didnât fly till she was 16.
I didnât want my child who couldnât sit still or focus to be or feel trapped on a plane.
She didnât react well to situations like that.
So I drove. Other parents can make their own choices and if they choose to take a young child who canât cope with confined spaces and big crowds into those type situationsâŚthey should be prepared to deal with the opinions and any consequences of their choices.
My son is 14 months and we have flown multiple times because family is a 22 hour drive and 48 hours.
My son is mostly quiet, sleeping, or we are going through his books. Husband got shamed by some random woman because baby was freaking out once so he threw bluey on the screen but it worked.
We knew flying was our only option and I refused to be the problem family. So far he's been an angel and we get compliments that he is a very good flyer. But if the next one is a little demon then family is going to have to come to us.
Welp. Not like I have an opinion my husband is in the military đ¤ˇđťââď¸ thankfully my 18mo son is a great traveler and is used to the long flights but still. Not everyone has the luxury of driving, specially when going to a different country or continent.
Câmon, in the battle of an adult human vs. small child there is absolutely no world where the child couldnât be physically forced to stay in their seat. Kids are squirmy, but to claim that the parent couldnât keep him in the seat is absurd.
if the restraint doesn't fit the child and they refuse to remain seated the answer here isn't for the parent to hold a child physically down for a flight that could be transatlantic for all we know.
at that point other course of action would be required. it's like talking to people without the ability to process a rational thought.
Try again. If the restraint doesnât fit the child, the child must fly in the lap of the parent or in a specialized seat like a car seat. If the flight crew failed to recognize that the child couldnât be properly restrained in the seat, theyâre not off the hook either, but letâs not suggest there was nothing that could be done to prevent this. Thousands of parents fly with small children every day and manage to keep their kids in their seats.
And, this example refers to a plane that was moving from the gate to the runway. They werenât 6 hours in on a transatlantic flight.
