An enraged Alabama mom chucked a computer at an airline worker when she realized she’d lost her kids at the airport.
Camilia McMillie, 25, is facing criminal charges for her caught-on-camera meltdown Tuesday at Miami International Airport.
Video shows the Birmingham mom yelling and ripping things off the counter after her two young children had walked away to the bathroom while she was checking in for her connecting flight with American Airlines.
“Once [McMillie] noticed the children were not with her, she became irate and began to scream, demanding the gate agent to find her children,” Miami-Dade Police explained.
McMillie, who was traveling to New York City, can allegedly be seen yelling and tearing the boarding pass reader off the counter. She eventually grabbed the computer and threw it at the gate agent, bruising the woman’s shoulder.
“She went into panic mode,” one witness told WSVN. “That’s what happened.”
According to the arrest affidavit obtained by The Post, McMillie’s outburst caused $10,000 in damages.(snip)
She was charged with aggravated battery, criminal mischief and disorderly conduct.
Records show that she remains in custody.

This was wrong. The gate agent did not lose her children. NOW, if she’d directed her outrage at TSA agents, I’d be a little more conflicted on the subject.
Figured.
Which computers are the most dangerous? Apple iPad airs would be my guess although maybe too light.
There is no fury like that of a ███, ███, ████, ████ █████ woman scorned.
I think she might lack impulse control.
They deserve extra privileges/treatment, don’t they? They show it every day in the news. Generalizing? Not me - they do it to themselves. When is someone of stature going to wake up and tell these people what is expected of them to live among law abiding, decent citizens? Instead, they get coddled. Even for people who never gave a thought to color have had their noses stuck in it and it can’t be ignored...Anyone who doesn’t see it chooses to be blind!
Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!
Smart kids. They were trying to make a break for it. And get away from that.
Agent: "Gee, I dunno, there's so many places they could be hiding from you."
Calling that a “woman “ is using the definition of “woman” very loosely.
So the headline is that she’s a mom? Not a dumbass having a public meltdown?
Of course.
Home Alone 5: Kevin’s parents go to prison for child neglect.
Silly me. I thought it was a mom’s job to watch her own children.
Here is clearly someone who never learned to be responsible or accountable for her own actions.
It’s not anyone else’s fault but yours, honey.
I was told that my Mom used a braided rope leash and harness on me when I was a toddler going into the stores with her.
Leashes do work. Just ignore the stares you get from others.
On other outings, as an 8 or 9 y/o I was always reminded of our plan in case I got separated from the family as we visited the State Fair or the downtown Thanksgiving Day Parade: “Stay in the same general area. If you are near an Info Booth, ask them to call for your parents over the speaker. You won’t be in trouble, later!”
Nice outfit for flying....
Yoga Pants, two sizes too small.
I guess they were On Sale.
