A passenger on a flight from Germany to New York documented a child’s eight-hour-long tantrum.
The man began filming the three-year-old climbing on seats and screaming before the Lufthansa flight had even taken off.
The footage was uploaded to YouTube by Shane Townley with the title: ‘Demonic child screams and runs through an 8 hour flight.’
He writes: ‘Watch as this kid runs and screams throughout the entire flight while the mother does little to nothing to stop him. 3 years old on a 8 hour flight from Germany to Newark NJ. He never quits!’
The footage begins with the boy’s mother asking Delta staff for the WiFi to be switched on to distract the child with an iPad but the flight attendant replies that the WiFi is not available yet.
However, once the flight is underway and the WiFi has been enabled, the little boy’s tantrum continues.
At one point, the child sits on top of the seats, hitting the ceiling of the plane with his fists, while his mother asks him to sit and begs him to calm down.
A fellow passenger can be heard saying ‘that poor woman’ as the mother struggles to control her unruly toddler.
Half way through the flight, the little boy can be seen running up and down the aisle of the plane screaming and shouting.
Other passengers can be seen covering their ears to try and drown out the toddler.(snip)
As the flight continues, Shane gives hourly updates documenting the journey with captions on the screen.
He writes: ‘Hour 2. Demonic screams take over the plane.’
When the plane finally arrives in Newark Airport, passengers looked relieved to be disembarking the plane.
‘What a nightmare’ one passenger can be heard saying as she leaves the flight.

To the extent that (s)he can control a given situation, the Captain blew it.
Years back...I worked overseas and traveled back to the US once per year with my family. My son HATED flying and was very hard to control.
Prior to yet another flight, our family doctor suggested Benadryl. It did work like a charm. Kid is happier, parents are happier, other passengers are happier.
should we lay bets on whether the kid’s American or German?
The captain should never have taken off with an out of control demonically possessed brat on board. In the US, the captain can make that call and it’s not subject to questions.
Autism is the Hyper Active Disorder of the day. As a scout leader in the 90s I had nearly a whole troop of dump ‘em off Ritalin doped up wild things. They ruined scouting for me and my son. We found we were both hanging on for one another and both hating it so we gave it up.
Writers write, talkers talk, doctors doctor etc. If nobody reads, listens or gets sick etc. there is nothing for them to do.
Of course! I am not in the habit of speaking to people that I don’t know and offering them medication. The kid had been screaming for over an hour at that point. The kid would have been happier if she had been able to relax and go to sleep, which is what Benadryl would have done for her.
Listening to it, it didn’t sound like a painful physical ailment. If it was something, it was a mental issue of some kind or poor parenting.
Either way, the mother should have obtained a sedative for the child, IMO.
No demons. This is a normal child of liberal rearing.

Duct tape and toss him into the overhead luggage compartment.
You’d get get arrested for that today.
Yup, nothin wrong with a sedative for a serious anxiety issue like that.
Silence is golden
Duct tape is silver
From the article: "The man began filming the three-year-old climbing on seats and screaming before the Lufthansa flight had even taken off." Mom needs to restrain the kid or they both need to get off the plane.
BINGO!!! I can’t stand the no-spanking crowd. We are talking about an attention getter not beating the kid into oblivion. Meanwhile CPS continues to go after low hanging fruit instead of prosecuting REAL child abuse cases (too dangerous and politically incorrect)
Sorry. I wasn’t judging, just asking. It’s something that I would love to do but I fear I wouldn’t have the guts.
