That is really sad to me. Do you know kids sometimes get moles red on planes sitting next to strangers? I work in the industry. Not common, but it happens.

More likely of course is that they will just need something. They are small children and should not have to navigate such a long flight alone, because they annoy you. No wonder kids nowadays have high rates of depression and anxiety .

It is a family vacation, for the good parts and the bad parts. Selfish people make bad parents.

I'm not worried about that at all given my kids ages. My kids did perfectly well with us sitting a few rows behind. I feel more sorry for the kid who would freak out and be overcome with anxiety that they can't be separated for a flight. Your kids are depressed and anxious due to your overbearing helicopter nature.

And we all know your "work in the industry" means you're not remotely close to being in the front line as a pilot or flight attendant. You work in some back office anywhere counting widgets.

Except I review police reports from in-flight infractions.

True stories of kids (or adults witnesses) who report strangers touching kids in the seat next to them. So I think my intel might be a little more frontline than yours. And I am trying to protect kids here.

Bullshit. I don't believe you for a second helicopter mommy.

Sorry to shatter your view of the world we live in. But it won’t change because you find it too upsetting to see reality.

Pony up some facts, then. And they better not be about unaccompanied minors traveling alone which isn't what I'm talking about. Or young women. I'll wait.

I did pony up facts. Sorry but I don’t plan to share the children’s names, ages and flight numbers.

I'd like to see the research you are quoting. the information I've seen says pretty much the exact opposite.

NP: I work in law enforcement and I tend to have the doom and gloom attitude (I assume everyone is a s-x offender until proven otherwise) but even I think you're over reacting a bit here.

Even putting that aside, if someone is going to be annoyed by sitting near their kid, seems like it should be the person who spawned said annoying kid.

I should not have to be the one to tell them to stop kicking my seat, to turn down tge volume on their video game, or to put up their seat during meal service. You are not on vacation from parenting

No, you didn't, at all. Unaccompanied minors are not what we're talking about here. But go on, let's see how many kids were molested on a plane with their parents sitting right nearby.

Thus is my last response to your exhausting, naive posts.

I had a professional reason to review original data (actual police reports, from an airport). Are you saying such incidents do not happen. That would be wrong. Are you saying they are not common? That would be right.

Anything beyond that really does not merit a response.

Sorry, kids are part of society! I once sat next to a grown man who pissed his pants and made me think my baby's diaper was leaking the whole time. Saw the wet mess when he got up. Or the large man who pulled my hair as he yanked the seat back go get himself up out of his seat. Far more adults are misbehaving on flights than children and you know it. Never mind all the drunken antics and fighting with flight attendants. Children aren't the problem.

Lol. Caught arguing without facts that this was a huge problem worthy of concern.

I am not saying ban children from flights, I am saying you are responsible for supervising their behavior when they are pre-teens.

I love how everyone thinks it is helicopter parenting to book your kids sitting with you on a red-eye flight or any other flight.

Jesus. if you hate your kids, don't take them on the trip.

But when you book your kids and then the airline moves them you need to learn to roll with the punches and not believe the hysterical PP that they will definitely be molested. Your kids won't be better off by your illogical anxiety ridden parenting. If you can't handle it, don't travel.

Maybe not, but people are more likely to take the parent seriously. There are plenty of crazy people on planes these days. It's like the pandemic made everyone forget how to act on a plane.
