Virgin Blue Admits Toddler Was Put in Overhead Bin

And during those 3 months she is now estranged from her husband. Crying for days for that perhaps. And the child is going to counceling? At 20 months....? Cries when not near mommy? It's more of an issue of separation from Daddy and an emotional Mommy and nothing to do with the hide and seek game. Seriously.

these people just want money! if they are as weird to not understand a game and WHOLE 10 SECONDS of hidden son, i really dont know what, but it Is a great opportunity to get something out of it. anxiety , if any is present talking about her toddler might be a result of her treatment of him, not of 10 seconds in dark. freaks!

She is feeding his anxiety by allowing him to sleep with her, and not letting him alone. Even though he is a child he can deal with these feelings. What a drama queen, and a gold digger - I hope she loses in court.

What melodrama! She's building her case for a lawsuit, plain and simple. She'll seek damages for emotional distress. I can understand being upset at first, but crying for days and having a paranoid kid after he was in a small, dark space for a whopping 10 seconds? I hope the judge laughs that one out of court.

lol wtf

She probably thought his antics, running around, bothering other people were cute and finally someone with a set did something about it. Good for the attendant who should not have been fired, cause it would not have happened if what?? The kid was with one of his parents in his seat like he should have been. I hate people who think everything their kids does is cute and I am suppose to be ok with it, NO and now I know they fit into the overhead.....CONTROL YOUR SPAWN.

WTF - this lady cried "for days on end" over this? Sounds like SHE needs a shrink, and I seriously doubt the kid would have even had any issues (if he even really does, which I seriously doubt!) had he not seen the Mother react so inappropriately. When I first saw the title and read the first couple sentences I thought the airline had somehow mistaken the kid for luggage and put it in the bin for the trip or a considerable part of it - not 10 seconds while his dad was playing hide and seek? I doubt the dad was "in shock" - I think the fact the other passengers were laughing is a sign this woman is either a wack job or out for money or both. And they fired the flight attendant over this? HE should file a suit - this is all absolutely insane and yet another example of over-reacting, over-protection of children, and people trying to get money for nothing. Stick a kid in a refrigerator - now that's inappropriate. This? Put the Mother in the bin - better yet, in the luggage compartment for every flight! :-)

Shoe me the MONEY!!

Um, sure...a mom "who cares" is going to sit long enough for a flight attendant
to EVEN TOUCH her child, let alone open the bin, pick up the toddler, put the toddler
in, close the latch and then engage in a conversation? Don't buy it for a second. She
was either careless, didn't care, or drunk...that's just a case of being a bad mother...
so OWN IT.

Umm, yeah. I call BS. The baby was in the dark for up to 10 seconds???? OMG, oh noes. What on earth does this woman do with the baby when it's night time? Does the baby not sleep, or does it sleep in a fully lit room? She's definitely milking it for everything she can get out of it. She should build a bridge and get over it.
