i actually feel quite sorry for the guy that got the sack! ok he didn't do the right thing but imo mum completely overreacted!
cry for days on end, pull yourself together woman!

sorry if that offends someone but its my initial reaction.

My intial reaction was also wtf! Crying for days on end my eye, admittedly that is not a good place to put a child for a game of hide and seek but I very much doubt the child was that traumatised. 17 months old? He has probs forgotten all about it now and wondering what all the fuss is about!!! Think she was trying it on for more compo than a return flight refund tbh!!!!!

I thought it was going to say she was in there for hours!

i know, 10 seconds! Wtf is the world coming to!

Lol glad I'm not the only one thinking along those lines!

I smell a over dramatic lawsuit! I cannot believe he was fired for that..he was playing a game ffs with their kid..and no harm was intended at all! Unreal..this world is full of idiots!

OMG, get a grip woman, did she think he was going to stay in there for the whole flight? Some people are idiots

Oops - better stop sticking my two in the wardrobe to play peekabo then - don't want them to suffer from anxiety

What a fluffing drama queen! I would have applauded him for it - 10 seconds of peace and quiet - thankyou very much!

They should install straps in overhead lockers especially to put toddlers in there - top idea!

i can smell money, although why would you put a child in a locker in first place is a bit bizarre, but the mothers reaction is crap too

How many of us have put our kids in a box for fun..or played hide and seek and stuck them in a closet? FFS..Madisyn would hide in my giant suitcase or her trunk...I think the flight attendant was being sweet..and trying to occupy the child..not hurt or harm. I think the whole thing is about intent..he defo wasn't trying to inflict any trauma on the child. I would like to know how the child responded..was he giggling..laughing? I bet he was! xxx

i kinda laughed ?? the kid prob did too till it went dark ??

OH EM GEE a whole 10 seconds! The mother needs to get a grip

I have to say I read alot of the replies before I read the article, but when I did read it I had mixed emotions. Putting YOUR child in a wardrobe they are familiar with or a box is one thing, but a stranger putting your child in an aeroplane locker! Sorry but to me that's a step too far. Don't get me wrong, I applaude the guy for playing games with the toddler and it says his dad was nearby, but somewhere unfamiliar and dark...I too would like to know what the boy's reaction was because it's things like this that can be the trigger to deep rooted fears later on in life.
