    This was a two-year-old child. Have some compassion!

    I have to question whether the flight attendant actually said this. When something this extreme happens, there is usually video and an uproar from multiple sources. Only a pic from the mom.

    Any parent knows that at the best of times a toddler can get overwhelmed and refuse to cooperate much less in a stressful situation. Practicing at home prior to vacation might help, make a game of it before boarding. If a child is tired, hungry or just irritated they’ll be difficult. I feel her frustration. Children in the hospital are required to wear masks, maybe nurses can give some tips.

    There’s comes a time that letting a little 2 year old go without a mask is okay. How upsetting .

    I feel so bad for this family, they had no right to tell them to GLUE it to the child’s face! Enforce it, yes, but not glue it on her face!

    Requiring children under 5 to wear a mask is ridiculous! You people need to get a grip! If it’s your time to go, a mask isn’t going to save you! I hope everyone on board that plane that wanted that baby to have to wear a mask, enjoyed hearing a screaming child the entire flight!

      Most already do scream and cry because the pressure hurts their ears.

    In reading this story about gluing a mask to a 2 year olds face! These flight attendants lack common sense! Need special Ed training for themselves in preparing to be a flight attendant…

    As a parent who remembers those years all too well, sorry, I have no sympathy for the mom. She’s willing to risk her children’s health so they can go to Disney World during the hottest part of the year. Sure, keep the kids in the heat like that all day. And yes, she would know how humidity feels since she’s from Va. Beach. We’ve been under heat advisories for days on end in this part of Virginia. Second, nobody forced her to fly. The family could have driven. It’s a twelve hour trip from here to there. Nobody is holding a gun to anyone’s head saying you have to fly, you have to go to Disney. And it’s not like they just decided to go out of the blue. You have to plan. So she had time to see if the mask thing would work or not. As a parent if my child was going to be a pain in the butt, I removed my child, or did not even attempt certain things. Everyone knows a toddler is going to have melt downs. It’s unavoidable. But this has been the regulation for a while. So for once, why don’t we hold the parents responsible? They had time to plan for these instances, and instead decided to be a bother to everyone else around them for their convenience. Then they want to cry and whine when they don’t get their way. Sorry, not the stewardesses job to mask your child. It’s yours. So do your job, or don’t fly. Pretty simple concept.

    Yes, the flight attendant is out of order!🤨this is a form of child abuse. You do not glue anything on a child or anyone else for that fact. I think that they could have come up with something better than that! That Poor baby.
