Ice Nine said...: >>"The area where the boy gained access was unstaffed."<<

The Mommy supervisory staff however was not unstaffed. She'll still extort a few thou out of the airport for the broken hand.; 7/25/19, 3:34 PM
traditionalguy said...: Was that the flight to Epstein Island? OK, Bad joke.; 7/25/19, 3:41 PM
Ambrose said...: My kids always wanted to do that and I told them they couldn't. I hope they don't see this now. They'll be mad.; 7/25/19, 3:50 PM
Hari said...: This will trigger billions of dollars in upgrades after AOC announces that this is just exactly like the trains to concentration camps.; 7/25/19, 3:50 PM
Hari said...: We obviously need a full-time staff to separate the luggage from the children, so that mothers can be free to print their boarding passes.; 7/25/19, 3:53 PM
stevew said...: Have they charged Mom yet? Called child services?; 7/25/19, 3:55 PM
Ice Nine said...: It's so obvious!: They need to raise all baggage belts to 4ft to prevent this from happening.; 7/25/19, 4:00 PM
Bill, Republic of Texas said...: That kid has a great story to tell for the next 75 years!; 7/25/19, 4:11 PM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...: Other than his had being broken, I bet it was fun!; 7/25/19, 4:16 PM
HoodlumDoodlum said...: I'm glad he wasn't injured too badly--moving equipment an do a lot of damage quickly.

I chuckled at how calm the TSA guy who scooped him off of the belt was in contrast to the other TSA people scrambling towards the kid when they spotted him on the belt. His posture made it look like he does that all the time!; 7/25/19, 4:21 PM
Freeman Hunt said...: This kid lived the dream!; 7/25/19, 4:27 PM
whitney said...: I always wanted to get on that thing when I was a kid. I'm kind of jealous right now; 7/25/19, 4:27 PM
whitney said...: I mean envious; 7/25/19, 4:31 PM
bagoh20 said...: Drug mule making a run for it.; 7/25/19, 4:32 PM
heyboom said...: Just another day for Spirit Airlines...all the thrills without the frills!; 7/25/19, 4:37 PM
D 2 said...: Hmm. Maybe part of the Althouse deep-play psych-ops to discourage air travel in favour of road trips through the Midwest. Errr, sorry, I meant that other region - "the North"; 7/25/19, 4:44 PM
Seeing Red said...: I’ve wanted to do that.; 7/25/19, 4:45 PM
Mary Beth said...: People get snarky about parents who put toddlers on leashes, but airports are good places for that. Crowded places where you don't always have your hands free and you aren't able to devote constant attention to your child (or you have more kids than you have hands) are good places to tether your child to you.; 7/25/19, 4:49 PM
Maillard Reactionary said...: Parenting malpractice, pure and simple.

Unsupervised children are usually OK (say) in the back yard digging holes, climbing on things, and such, but are in danger when exposed to machinery, moving parts, sharp tools, electricity, chemicals, hot things, and God knows, firearms.

Being a parent is a full-time job. Really full-time, and full-attention. It really does interfere with your pre-parent lifestyle. Too bad! If you're sloppy, you may get away with it, maybe even most of the time, but then again maybe not. If something awful happens, the child pays. Nice work, Mom and Dad!

My strategy was to give my daughter as much rope as she could safely handle at a given age. It worked out well, but required monitoring just the same. (Needless to say, at age two her rope was very short indeed.); 7/25/19, 4:58 PM
Michael said...: I was that type of kid. If mom or dad took their eye off of me for two seconds, I was off on some adventure.; 7/25/19, 5:03 PM
Tim DeRoche said...: Our son - 16 months - appears to believe that parents are not absolutely necessary at this time of his life.; 7/25/19, 5:25 PM
Darrell said...: Mom is lucky she gets a second chance.

Pro-tip: Stay a block away from chipper/shredders.; 7/25/19, 5:28 PM

Anonymous said...: Society needs men with no fear. I predict he will have a wonderful life doing something like running into burning buildings, chasing fleeing felons down the freeway at 100 mph, jumping out of airplanes, or piloting helicopters into wildfires.

His coworkers will trade stories about their their brushes with death as two-year-olds. He will be among his peers.; 7/25/19, 5:36 PM
MayBee said...: Can you imagine being the baggage person at the bottom of the belt and seeing that little kid coming down the conveyor?; 7/25/19, 5:39 PM
bagoh20 said...: I don't understand the problem of toddlers on a leash. Do we care more about our dogs than our kids? Same with guns. We protect our money in the bank with armed guards, but not our kids in schools. This was just a conveyor, but what about at the Grand Canyon or Niagara Falls. I'd trust my dog more at those places.; 7/25/19, 5:42 PM
Yancey Ward said...: The mother forgot to tip the skycap. She is lucky he didn't end up in Fresno.; 7/25/19, 5:43 PM
Yancey Ward said...: Yeah, got keep an eye on toddlers- they are apt to do something like this.; 7/25/19, 5:43 PM
n.n said...: Living the dream.; 7/25/19, 5:57 PM

"Hmmmm, these human smugglers are getting bolder by the day"; 7/25/19, 6:02 PM
BUMBLE BEE said...: Keep this kid away from Bison.; 7/25/19, 6:16 PM
Yancey Ward said...: Keep this kid away from Bison.

Also keep him away from sawmills.; 7/25/19, 6:34 PM
Tommy Duncan said...: It's lucky they got him off the conveyor before he got to the oversize bag compressor and the gamma ray scanner. He's also lucky he didn't get his contents emptied out or his zippers checked by a baggage handler.; 7/25/19, 6:38 PM
madAsHell said...: Looks like Epstein failed his suicide attempt.; 7/25/19, 6:48 PM
Marc in Eugene said...: I never see the BBC News; is that their standard musical accompaniment to otherwise audio-free video recordings? a fairly pleasant soundtrack.; 7/25/19, 7:21 PM
Tom T. said...: Kramer did this on Seinfeld twenty years ago.; 7/25/19, 7:43 PM
BawlmawrBob said...: He's going to be a Green Lantern. Obviously he was born without fear.; 7/25/19, 8:32 PM
