There’s something really wrong with that child if he did that for the WHOLE 8 hours. If he did it for 30 minutes there’s something wrong with him. That’s not normal.

Agreed

“There’s something really wrong with that child if he did that for the WHOLE 8 hours.”

This sentiment, right here.

People express hatred at the kids so quickly. The truth is that flights mess with inner ears and many kids freak out during liftoff and landings. It’s just the way it is to a youngster.

But if the crying is beyond that then maybe concern should replace anger.

Is the kid autistic ? Is he truly in pain or something ? These are things you can’t smack out of a kid.

Could have been problems with pressure on the the child’s eardrums.

More than that, there is something wrong with the parent. The child might be guided out of it, the parent is brain dead.

I agree, I am surprised at so many here with the true lack of sympathy for the boy.

My child cried for 2 hours from PA to VA in a carseat he did not want to be in . He’s a perfectly normal adult now, with a great job, raising a family. 30 mins only indicates a very strong will.

of course there's something wrong with him but the majority of so called good Freepers, most of them claiming to be good Christians can find nothing better to do then condemn this poor young woman and her probably autistic child....

gee, if only she had aborted him, or left him to be raised by a mental institution....

on planes they have ear plugs if you need them people...that and close your eyes and thank God that you have normal children.
