Demons of this type are powerless against duct tape.

Scientific research has shown that that condition is caused by an excess of oxygen going to the child’s brain. If you cut their oxygen flow by 50 percent that behavior always ceases immediately. Works every time.

See something, say something.

If he was acting that way before the plane took off, the airline should have removed them.

I'm sure it was nerve grating, but the child wasn't "demonic", just undisciplined and/or had mental problems.

Takes a LOT of energy to do something like this - can't help wondering if there is an inner ear problem causing pain that the mother ignores...nothing like change in pressure to make a sore ear turn excruciating.

Probably has other issues too but .... it takes a lot of energy to maintain that w/o some other influence than just being a spoiled brat.

Let me guess, no baby daddy?

I was on such a flight several years ago. Mom would NOT correct the child at all. A grandmother in the row in front of me mentioned to the mom that the child might be in pain from the change in air pressure. She then offered a Benadryl so that the child would not have to be in pain.

Worked like a charm. Mom thought she was helping her child, child so was asleep. The rest of us didn’t have to listen to the screaming brat.

Too bad Father Malachi Martin is dead.

The flight attendants should have required that kid be strapped in a seat. You can’t shut them up from screaming but you can contain them. Most kids will shut up after awhile if nobody is paying attention to them. That kid is just completely undisciplined.

For whatever reason this story keeps getting deleted.

Flight should never have taken off with that family on board. Since it did, the pilot should have declared an in-flight emergency after 1 hour max, landed at nearest airport, and then family forcibly removed.

This is why God gave us Nyquil...

Oh look, a Future school shooter.
Everyone sees the problem but nobody does anything about it.

[Prov1322]

Serious question...the video clearly shows that this out-of-control behavior started before take-off. Why could the crew/captain not remove the mother and son as disruptive?

Even as the flight progressed...why not divert to another site (before reaching the Atlantic) in order to restore order?

Is this not what airlines do when an adult is behaving in a similar manner. Actually, I've seen adults removed for far less.

[Noumenon]

Classic case of poor impulse control. Kid has a bright future, eh?

[PGR88]

We don’t get a good look at the child, but guessing from his size/age, the fact his communication is all the same continuous, almost infant, non-verbal utterances, and that he can’t be “confined” - that he has some form of autism or developmental disability.

It would explain a lot, and give me much more sympathy for the mother who probably has no other choices in her travel.

[Jayster]

I was on a flight where the kid in front of me was standing on his seat, turning around and doing various things like screaming, talking loud, banging the seat etc....

Mom did nothing.

So I did something

Kid was not an issue for the remainder of the flight.

NyQuil...
