denuseri; I understand the responce, but at the end of the day i was not comenting on the reasons, i was comenting on the stupid and selfish way she went about it. If this child was so mentaly retarded or unstable, why did she put him on a aircraft unsupervised by specialist people, and if she had told the airline about the childs problem, i can well imaggine their responce. What she did was irrisponsible, and that child could have been a danger to not only the airline staff inside the aircraft but also the passengers. The woman has said in her statement that she feared the safety of her family, but she didn't give a damn about anyone on the aircraft.
