Child on a plane.............

[Meece 1,957]

One of the problems with this is that it seems to spring up out of nothing.  No two people are the same day to day and it could be that there is a control problem or that it is just a brat child problem. Now years ago the condition wasn't understood and kids did have it thrashed out of them with the result of a person that was controlled but a warped and buckled personality. My father used to call it military discipline.  Lash out and then feel sorry afterwards.  Anyone can be controlled but at what cost. It's like a whipped dog that cowers when you go to stroke it. You immeadiatly know that it's had some treatment whereas it could, should have been trained better. Reason and reading the signs are the key factors.

This child has a real problem. It looks like Autism to me. To us and those that have posted here, our reaction would be, " thrash it out of the little Btud." But if you have had dealings with this condition you would have a different view. The boy is trapped in a situation of excessive noise, pressure,  people and not knowing what, where, when or why. Now to anyone the answer would be to communicate but the sufferers of this condition cant comunicate normally as you or I would. what I don't understand is how and why the boy was taken on an aeroplane where a meltdown would be almost a certainly.  This flight would have been an ordeal for the boy, his mother, the other passengers and the flight crew. Then they have to go through the terminal and the journey on to another strange place. Very stressful.  I bet they all slept well. I know someone with a boy that is showing signs  and it is a nightmare. There is so much of it out there. Wrecking families. So when you are in the supermarket and some kid is going bonkers at the cashout consider how hard it is for him and his unfortunate pàrents. How parents deal with it is mystery to me. Beating it out of them isnt the right way to go. It would just be counterproductive.

It didn't look like autism to me, an when my stepsons were little there's no way they would been allowed to walk over the seats or do that,

they would been told to sit down an shut up!

I have no idea whether it's the parents who are incapable of controlling their child or there's something wrong with him. Either way, perhaps they should have thought before taking a long plane journey with him. They might be used to it, but the rest of the plane isn't and shouldn't have had to put up with it.

I used to fly a lot with this airline,once a week or so,never had kids misbehaving as they had karaoke dancing and in-flight quizzes,i won a T-shirt once,theres a Vietnamese airline cant remember the name of it but the trolley-dollies dance around in bikinis mid-flight

I think the thing is it looked like the kid was running wild and the mother , parents did nothing to stop him

The other week, I was in the supermarket, and heard the screaming child as soon as I went in.............he was literally screaming at the top of his lungs at his mum, who had clearly refused some indulgence. On and on and on he went, getting more and more hysterical....................

As I went around an aisle, I came across them just as mum had enough, and smacked him on his leg. She saw me, rolled her eyes and said "I suppose you're going to have a go, now ?"...........

..........I said "He's still crying - you didn't hit him hard enough, love."

Well take a boat journey. Or cargo 

Not saying you're wrong. But a lot of bad behaviour from crust grabbers there parents always say oh it's ADHD or its this and that. When in some cases it's just you have a spoilt brat and bad parents.

You know the type.

"Oh children need to express them self's" well there not my kids and why should be subjected to that behaviour on a long Flight. 

i agree scott I don't think the kid should be on the plane full stop autism or not why the f**k should the whole plane be subjected to that

I don't think you're allowed to dart someone on a plane though. Even in America!

Until recently when I have seen this problem and begun to understand it and the problems parents have and the heĺl of a life the child has to put up with my reaction to this would have been exactly same as the majority of posters on this thread. It would have been either, thrash it out of the little b, or should have been strangled at birth or beat it with a spade and then use it. This is a medical problem that is recognised by not only the health professionals but by the government who have set up special measures schools with funding to help with this. Although these kids are a complete pain  in the rudder they aren't  thick or stupid.  On the contrary they are highly intelligent and some of the top companies in the world are on the lookout for people with these special traits and skiĺls to think of new ground breaking ideas and design's.  The vid clip is a bit misleading because i cant see how this went on for that length of time. It is wrong to film a child especially with a problem and most of the time it was of the back of the seat. Only today there is this item on BBC news. What is causing this increase of this problem? Is it some thing like E numbers food additives or similar or is it some thing that governments are experimenting with that has got out the public like happened with chemical weapons experiments that got out.

That, sir, is "Post Of The Week!"

There's no excuse for bold children ever. If I was a passenger I'd have encouraged him to open a window, preferably up the other end of the plane.

Didn't look like autism to me either, even if it was they still need to try and keep him under control and be the parent. One thing I've learnt is don't treat autistic children differently or they walk all over ya lol

Stuff the little b*****d in the overhead compartment he'll gas out after trying to escape for a while, can't say wether or not he has autism as it's invisible to look at other then behaviour but if you ask me he's just American white trash offspring
