It also helps if you teach your kids to be competent critical thinkers. A twelve year old should be capable to navigate an airport.

FYI, I vaguely remember seeing this post do the rounds or one very similar a year or two ago.
kaiserkeiser
If I worked in security and knew the risks, I'm not sure I'd put the safety of my daughter in someone elses hands... No offence...
Greeneyeddevil
Yep. And they broke policy, like as he arrived to check her in, he waited six hours and still put her on the plane? Great instincts dude
Blahmeistah
Why does he say his wife is 8 weeks pregnant? Blue eyed, blonde haired daughter? If you are afraid of trafficking don´t send her numbnuts
ITalkAboutGoats
Listing disabled and pregnant to mention why flying themselves is difficult listing blonde/blue eyes because traffickers find that desirable
apwillenme
You cant convince me this isnt the prequel to taken, op is liam neeson.
UndulatingTerrain
Pregnant wife, blue eyed blonde daughter, disabled veteran father. Pity baiting much? The girl is 12. She's not an infant anymore.
Andilee
12 year olds I know "yo fuckers! Aren't you a supposed to be watching me? No? okay! I'll go steal some stuff!"
caralily
Right? At 12 I would have bitched at the people at the counter my own damn self if I got bumped and had a connection.
Piornet
Is no one going to mention that her grandmother found her sitting alone at the gate? (1/)
Piornet
You haven't been able to get to the gate without a ticket for 15 years now.

Grandma would have a gate pass. And where the hell was she?

Greeneyeddevil
He knows how dangerous the world is, thinks his daughters appearance makes her a bigger target...still put her alone on a plane?? Mmmkay.
Greeneyeddevil
The 1st thing to happen is they break policy by bumping her, he still puts her on the plane? Did she need to see her grandparents to LIVE?
idiotn00b
Holy shit a 12 year old alone in an airport for a whole 15 minutes.

So the moral of the story is if you want something done right, do it yourself?
inventorofbacon
That's pretty much it eh?
AliBarber
First thought I had too. If they've paid for the flights twice and the care package 3 times they could have all gone themselves.
clutchthepearls
Maybe the disabled guy and pregnant woman either can't fly, or it's a hassle to fly, or are under doctor's order not to fly? Maybe.
AliBarber
Hence my second comment
clutchthepearls
Or maybe they didn't "have the money" to all go, but once their kid was out, stuck in this situation you pull from savings to get her home?
AliBarber
Though in saying that, if a company makes an offer and you're unable to do it yourself then you might jump on it. Idk.
WhatAShipIs
Yeah, you're right. I'm not saying that the airline shouldn't be held responsible for not doing what they promised. It's just that 1/2

8 whole weeks pregnant at that..

Yup, people usually don't even know that they are pregnant necessarily at that point.
fnxfhnfgjzfgkf
Use your mind. Maybe he is disabled and has extra trouble traveling because of it? His wife is pregnant too, so maybe they are unable to go
plentyofrabbits
In his own story it says his wife is 8 weeks pregnant. She would absolutely be able to travel. She's not ill, just a little pregnant.

the human trafficking statistics then make the effort to accompany your beloved daughter on her flight. This is ridiculous. 2/2

Maybe couldnt logistically go on flight with her, so engaged in a binding contract for a company to do so instead?

The mentioning that she is blonde and has blue eyes is unnecesary also

Except that is very lucrative for traffickers to get a hold of blonde/blue eyed, more so than other races. (IIRC)

Yes that was relevant to the story and maybe he was saying he was a disabled vet to state he had trouble flying and knew how bad terrorism
JennJenn79
Is or trafficking ...he may have put it in there at the wrong moment but that is a possibility..he's upset.
Baccano2015
For the amount he shelled out couldn't he have sent his own friend with the child and fly him back?
GorgeFloyd
Assholes don't have friends.
SmellOfMonkey
I'm a little confused also that he had to pay again for a flight after the 1st 1 or 2 were bumped.
Baccano2015
Tbh it all sounds rather overblown. If it really was that bad he would have called in the police. Better yet not sent her alone at all if 1/
Baccano2015
He actually knew the risks as he seems to imply he does. 2/
Domehammer
Who would he of sent her with? He is disabled and Wife is pregnant. The fact parents live far enough to have to fly to them means moved 1/2

away from family so its not as simple as asking a family member for help. Plus you don't think straight when stressed 2/2
CocaineAndSelfPleasure
As a travel agent I can assure you that almost all airlines have this program and the child should be accompanied from start to finish.
Baccano2015
That might be enough reassurance for the standard person. He isn't though. He is supposedly more aware of these risks.

Book ahead? I know fares can go down by half if you're willing to book well in advance. Besides look at how much he ended up paying anyway
CocaineAndSelfPleasure
Doesn't matter. I'm a travel agent and I can guarantee you that an airline will not discount on Christmas.
Baccano2015
So it's impossible to travel to grans on let's say 1st November on a cheaper ticket as opposed to on 25 Dec?
CocaineAndSelfPleasure
You're missing the point. Do they want their daughter to be gone for 1 month? They wanted her to be with gan ON Christmas.
burner2010
$300 extra*** that's the fee for an unaccompanied minor. Airfare not included
Gandalfsuglybrother
I have a few problems with this story. The plane left "LATE", the plane arrived "LATE". Well, yeah if it leaves late it's probably 1/2
GoodbyeOldAccount
Planes fly at speeds tuned for fuel consumption i think. Can speed up to meet schedule. Have left late and arrived on time before
Gandalfsuglybrother
2/? going to arrive late. 2)No airline in the world is going to "bump" a UM. Period. There's more to that. 3)They would not make them buy
Gandalfsuglybrother
3/? a brand new ticket. They would reissue the one she had. For no add if she was truly bumped. 4)I kinda doubt the pimps work much
InvidiousSquid
This. As much as I hate United (cursed are those who are eternally delayed), this reeks of bullshit.
Gandalfsuglybrother
4/? past security at major airports. And 5)Where the HELL was Grandma when the flight came in??? Late!! ((hinky story period))

Greeneyeddevil
Right? Plus if it was a later flight which also left late, grandma really has no excuse. Did he say six hours later?
Whydontyougofuckyourself
She was either bumped several times up to 24 hours. Or they cancelled the ticket and bought a new one after the bump. Not sure... it's
asmallcat
Yeah or the parents showed up to the airport late and screamed at a gate agent who couldn't make the fight come back for them

Only thing worse than being an unaccompanied minor on United was being a UM on Delta
ImDeadAndiMove
I send my daughter regularly on Southwest flights as a UM. They have the best policy so far that I've experienced. They got mad at me (1)
ImDeadAndiMove
once because I arrived at the gate 5 minutes after she got off the plane. Policy is I have to be there 45 minutes before they are set (2)
ImDeadAndiMove
to land. Also have to remain at the gate until take when she departs. So I totally commend them for their commitment to their policy.
Whydontyougofuckyourself
What happens if you're like 30 min late? Does she go in the lost and found? Sent back to where she came from? CPS is called?
ImDeadAndiMove
CPS can be called. They MAY try to call you, but they MAY also send her back where she arrived from. Also --- if they cal CPS or send her

American Airlines, for one, doesn't allow connecting flights for UMs. It can only be a direct non-stop flight, no layovers.

Southwest is the same. I've used them for years and never had an issue. They are overly strict with the rules of UM and I am OKAY with it.

Even if they offer no direct flights to the area?

I'm pretty sure it's only allowed if the flight is direct, but has no more than 1 stop, meaning the child doesn't change planes.

What does his veteran status have to do with anything?

Nothing, they just like throwing it around. They fight hard and lose a lot to earn that title though, so it's hard to blame them.
gph1lly
United also works a lot with the military, and is advertised as taking care of military members. So it's probably to show a bigger failure.
aeroz36
He said he was counter terror and that his job was around human trafficking which was what made it worse for him.

DISABLED veteran. Very clearly said so.

Children with blue eyes are targeted by human traffickers. They are more expensive. Sadly.

maybenotsofairenough
Do you think in some cases the dynamic might have swung too far in the other direction? With vets being almost deified in places?
Galhaar
Or that his daughter is blonde and blue eyed. I'm sure human traffickers aren't concerned with how aryan a victim of theirs is.
Syng420
Actually, they are. Blonds are considered exotic in many places.

Counter terrorism doesn't deal with human sex trafficking as far as I know.

It can do depending on what training/orders you have and which branch you're in.

The disabled part was unrelated
ITalkAboutGoats
Was related because it illustrated why he wasn't flying her himself

weliveinaspaceshipdear
White, blonde, blue eyed girls are taken at a higher rate because they sell for the most. She's in the most danger because of those colors.

weliveinaspaceshipdear
No. It's because blonde haired blue eyes girls are worth, by far, the most to traffickers. She's in more danger than if she had dark hair.
SmellOfMonkey
I'd be quite alarmed at a child with shit for eyes
PuppyDontCare
Actually, the human traffickers would pay a lot more money for that rarity
Barryboy
Actually blonde haired blue eyed girls are the most attractive targets to a child abducter.
salokindoc
Second that. Where's your source?
weliveinaspaceshipdear
Child trafficker*. In South Texas white, blonde, blue eyed girls sell for the most over the border so they are more appealing to take.
weliveinaspaceshipdear
Not disagreeing. Just clarifying as people seem to be confused about the kidnapping vs trafficking concern in the post.
weliveinaspaceshipdear
Honestly it is. Blonde haired blue eyes girls are trafficked at a far higher rate than any other combination.
popejubal
Got a source for the "fact" that you just made up?
PandiesINTENSIFIES
You can literally google that yourself..."are blue eyed blond hair girls worth more in the sex trafficking industry?" Its yes by the way
ITalkAboutGoats
For his point about human trafficking it does matter. Blonde/blue eyes is worth more.
Sprixxen
He should get angry at them for not providing rubber shoes as well because the kid is more likely to get struck by lightening than kidnapped
Sprixxen
To clarify, there has never been a case of child kidnapping from an airport in Houston Texas. That part of the story was an emotional ploy.
wisnsoky
Actually I would disagree. Kidnappers arent dumb and they know the furor raised if a blonds blue girl is kidnapped. Theyd much prefer others
ManOverthrown
Disagree all you want. You're wrong.
weliveinaspaceshipdear
No they literally will sell for more. The abductor won't have them for more than 24 hours but they get more $$ for a blonde/blue/pale combo.
GoodbyeOldAccount
How the fuck is no one picking up on the blonde hair blue eye/ Furor and correcting you on this
clutchthepearls
Because its not close to Fuhrer and they meant fervor?
GoodbyeOldAccount
noun: furor: an outbreak of public anger or excitement. The sentence works and furor is closer to Fuhrer than ferver. The pun works

nopicklespls
I'm dense. What do you mean by that last sentence?
clutchthepearls
What the other guy said. These girls will often end up in countries where blonde hair and blue eyes aren't a natural occurrence.
TheClawChoosesWhoShallGo
Countries that have predominantly brown/black hair and eyes, like Indonesia, ME, African countries, Asian too, are high on trafficking.
anubisfike
In Dubai, Saudi Arabia, other shithole countries you can think of where she could end up, those traits don't exist or are exceedingly rare.
iforgotmypasswords
Not even remotely true. I live in Houston, and the trafficking is awful here, and they go for the fair hair/eyed kids because they get more.
