“She fought against them, turned around [in] her seat, and spit on us again.”
In her video, Shayla recalls how the girl’s parents were wrestling with her to get her to stop spitting, and she kept wiggling away from their grasp, continually trying to turn around and keep spitting. Additionally, while the girl’s parents were wearing face masks, presumably to keep germs away, their daughter wasn’t wearing one, and they couldn’t get her to stop spreading her germs.
The little girl spat at Shayla and her husband three times, and finally, as she recalled in a follow-up video, Shayla’s husband had to tell the couple that if they couldn’t get their kid under control, he’d do it for them.
The couple acted appalled and said Shayla and her husband couldn’t understand their struggle since they didn’t have children with them, to which he responded that they actually have five children and grandchildren.
At the end of her first video, Shayla asked her TikTok viewers what they would have done if they were stuck behind that child and her struggling parents on a flight.
“I would have stood up and firmly said, ‘That’s enough; do not spit on me again,'” commented one TikTok user.
“Then [I’d] call the flight attendant if it didn’t stop.”
“I would have ordered a glass of wine for me and the mom,” commented another user.
Shayla’s video is another on the internet that sparks debate surrounding children and flying and how to manage their behavior.
What would you do if you were in Shayla’s position and unable to move your seat?
