Southwest Airlines Falsely Accuses Mom of Trafficking Biracial Daughter

I understand. The flight attendants have been told to say something if they see something but my point was that there was enough time on that flight for the flight attendant to see the relationship between a mother and daughter instead of saying that it was human trafficking based on skin color. Also, that the airline would know immediately that it was a relative with the docs that are required to be provided during the booking of the ticket.

Hoax indeed. A real mother would be thankful they cared enough to try to protect people’s children.

Yeah, like you should be thankful that a police force made a oh-dark-thirty no-knock raid on your house because they read the address wrong on their confidential informant's information, because "they cared enough" to go after criminals.

Do you know how stupid that sounds?

That’s quite a different scenario. The situation might not have been handled well, but that doesn’t make the concept of verification invalid. I try not to look at everything through bitter eyes.

Good point.
