This sounds outlandishly absurd. The airlines solution was bad enough, but what parent was all “Hell yeah stranger! Hold my baby for 14 hours!” instead of just sucking it up and holding their own goddamn baby?!? This is so far beyond rationality and the social contract that I can’t even wrap my head around this.
Imagine the type of parents that forced that upon a stranger, that kid will be messed up.
If you read the article, the flight was overbooked and the teen was bumped from the flight.
The teen was extremely uncomfortable staying the night in the middle east, she was concerned her clothes (acceptable by Western standards) would put her as a target. She was already getting creeped on at the airport.
The airline said that since there were no unoccupied seats, but there was a seat for the toddler, she could double-up on that seat.
The airline massively fucked up, but IMO the parents did that girl a solid by even agreeing to it at all.
Exactly. When the airline presented that nonsense, they should have just said that they’d hold their own baby to help that young woman out.
