Southwest Flight Attendant Takes Crying Baby From Parents
abc ^ | 8/17/10 | AYANA HARRY

A flight attendant on a Southwest Airlines flight took custody of a baby girl after the child was slapped by her mother on Monday, the Albuquerque International Sunport police told ABC News. Officials say the mom appeared to be frustrated and may have slapped the baby.

When the plane landed in Albuquerque, the family was met by police. A Southwest Airlines spokeswoman told ABC News the local authorities were called "out of precaution for the child."

The parents were questioned by police and released to continue to their final destination.

Seems to me other folks were the touchy ones when I responded ... it put me in a defensive mode ... hope you're not on one of my flights where I announce that everyone should hold their hands over their drinks ..... :)

Anyone who slapped a 13 month old baby in front of me would wish they hadn’t.

One assumes your children are putting their life together. They are turning over a new leaf. They just got their GED. They can do no wrong... yada yada yada.

Heard all your whiny liberal “never grow up” crap for decades. And the self entitled arrogant little snots your world view produces have given the US the government it now has.

It is a shame you have exchanged virtue for self indulgence.

Dear B-Chan

I would very much like you to try and make a go of it big man. It'd be a good way to get your meddling nose broken.

Are you such a wet-nosed ignorant liberal that you would dream of interferring with someone disciplining (with appropriate measure, mind you, NOT BEATING) a toddler, just because maybe you never got your little smart mouth popped? ...Frankly I would hope you're a bit smarter than that.

It's precisely what's wrong with generation X, Y, etc. ...Had anyone ever tried that with the five wonderful and respectful children I raised, they'd be eating corn with no friggin' teeth. ...I promise you that, wise guy.

But I realize it's easy to spout a little bravado when you can hide behind a keyboard and dictate to others how they should raise/discipline their children. Signed "Ranger" Drew

I doubt you could afford to hire a heterosexual man to break my meddling nose for you.

Yes, I am such a wet-nosed ignorant liberal that I would interfere with someone disciplining a toddler by slapping him in the face. Anyone who would slap a child in the face deserves a clock-cleaning, and I would do my level best to supply said clock-cleaning.

Had anyone ever tried that with the five wonderful and respectful children I raised, they'd be eating corn with no friggin' teeth. ...I promise you that, wise guy.

You were allowed to reproduce? Idaho is a more liberal state than I thought. I'm sure your childrens' therapists would agree.

I realize it's easy to spout a little bravado when you can hide behind a keyboard and dictate to others how they should raise/discipline their children.

I'm not hiding. I'll be happy to say the sane thing right in your face. Please feel free to contact me privately to arrange an opportunity for me to educate you.

A 13 month-old child can hardly by ‘self-indulgent’ by choice. It is, however, self indulgent to have children if you aren't committed to raising them without losing your patience.

I understand your point about people not teaching their children responsibility, and I agree. I just think this is an entirely different situation.

To 21 - Agitate as in ‘to prompt or take notice’ not ‘blow a fuse’.

Bull-Pokey! ...That's precisely one of the reasons this nation is in the shape it's currently in.

Slapping a 13 month old child is really going to show them who is boss!!! Slap that kid around, let them know who is in charge!!

Disgusting.

Agreed. I have to confess, I did not read the whole article.

I sincerely doubt that child was "slapped" around. The parents are damned if they do and damned if they don't. If they don't discipline a screaming child (not an infant, mind you) on a crowded airplane, everyone is angry at them. If they do, they have the police called on them and their child kidnapped by a flight attendant.

I stand by my comment. So you can just feel free to kiss old Fred because I don't really give a damn what you think.

Because parents aren't slapping around their 13 month olds?

Yeah, that's the problem all right...you really nailed it. < /sarcasm >
