Apparently, even kids aren’t safe from the wrath of airline agents.
A 12-year-old boy waiting to board a Delta flight from La Guardia Airport to Florida with his family had the cell phone smacked out of his hands by an airline employee who didn’t want him filming her excuses to weary passengers after a 17-hour delay, according to a suit filed in Rockland County.
“She just came over and hit me,” the Suffern High School honor roll student told The Post Tuesday.
“My phone went flying,” Boggan said. “I was in shock.”
The Delta agent also yelled that it was “illegal” for him the film the scene, the suit says.

Sounds like they think they have a monopoly.
They’re going to SUE? Give me a break.
I hope Delta countersues.
I bet Delta’s shareholders don’t.
Hopefully the other angry screwed passengers are willing to be witnesses.
I’m wondering why that agent hasn’t been charged with assault and/or battery.
reason #999 for not flying ever again, if I can help it...
Should have pressed assault charges. Probably not too late. If it was my kid, I would.
These uppity airline passengers think they can do whatever they want. We’ll show them ....
Even if he was doing something wrong, physical assault is not usually the first step in gaining compliance.

22,000 flights a day, 365 days a year. It should not really be news that every couple of weeks an airline employee connected with one of those many flights does something stupid or less than photogenic. I’m more worried about terrorists (ISIS, Al Qaeda, Antifa, the DNC, and Black Lives Matter), and about our elected politicians.
I think Delta's attorneys also have problems speaking concisely ("to communication an announcement"). Still no reason to assault and batter a child. The Delta agent should be charged and jailed.
Depending on the jurisdiction, the agent blew by assault and committed battery when she struck the child. Why the heck the agent wasn’t charged, especially given the age of the victim, is beyond me.
Special snowflake family thinks they are the only ones in the world
What jerks. The very customers I hate dealingvwith
Yeah, man. Everyone should be able to hit a 12 year old kid, any time, anywhere.
I don’t get it either.

Honestly, if I had to put up with what I’ve seen on planes these days I would hit a few customers as well.
Yes, we can’t have recordings of ill-mannered behavior by Delta employees, so assault and battery against 12 year-olds is justified. Every business should adopt that as a policy.
Just a New Yorker acting like a New Yorker. It’s been full of jerks as far back as I can remember. Not sure why it is news that some Yankee would act that way.
