[quote=Anonymous][quote]Basically the person next to him becomes his defacto nanny. What if he gets sick? My DS never got sick on flights before but we had a REALLY bumpy ride on a flight last summer and DS got sick. I can't imagine how he would have felt if he were sick and alone. As it was he was sitting with my best friend, who he loves (he DS was with me).

As people have said there are so many unknowns. 
You could luck out and he gets a seat next to a mother/grandmother or father/grandfather type missing their own kid or he could end up sitting next to a pervert. You just don't know. [/quote]

I sat next to two UM's on a flight (domestic) a couple of years ago.  One was 6 and the other was 8 (brothers).  They both watched "The Big Bang Theory" for most of the time.  I was uncomfortable because I don't think that show is appropriate for children those ages.  I did not see a flight attendant doing anything special for them and I honestly don't think I should be in charge of people I happen to sit next to so I just tried to ignore the situation.  Nobody put me in charge so that's kind of how that works.  Yes, it was uncomfortable.   I don't pay for a ticket and then expect to work for the airlines.  [/quote]
