Just a personal story related to this. I play disc golf from time to time. Next to the disc golf course are a series of soccer fields. I have played soccer since I was five and there were some games going on. The golf course was a bit backed up so I watched the game for a few minutes. A parent asked me which child was mine. I explained I didn't have a child in the game and that I was waiting for my turn to play golf. She said she would call the police if I didn't leave.

Even though I think their heart is in the right place, it's unfortunate.

Perhaps the policy should be changed to one that requires a parent or guardian to be seated next to any child on the flight.

Personally, I wouldn't have allowed any of my children to fly at a young age unless they were accompanied by a trusted (adult) family member.

As the video mentioned, a parent is probably far more likely to hurt the child than a random stranger. Seems illogical.

Seriously? People need to get a grip sometimes. That's ridiculous

That I totally understand. But the example Quetzal threw out from his personal life is beyond understandable to me.

In NYC there are parks and playgrounds where adults are not allowed to go unless "accompanied by a child." Strange.

I guess it sort of makes sense.

I would have annexed the Sudatanland.

I think a study showed that mothers were more likely to beat their kids without justification, rather than (sober) men.

(not to be a pedant, but it's "Sudetenland")
