Shane Townley, a passenger on a flight from Germany to New York filmed this video and uploaded it to YouTube, only adding to the recent trend of news concerning animals that shouldn’t be allowed on planes.

What did we just watch? Was it clips from The Exorcist or just an annoying child on a plane? Hard to tell. Now, do we blame the parents or send our condolences since their child is clearly possessed by devil? Do we need a doctor on board, or a priest?

Although it sounds like the child is being tortured, rest assured that he is completely fine, and that the only people being tortured are the passengers on that plane. Some might think that this child may suffer from some kind of behavioral issues or fall somewhere on the autism spectrum, but as is noted in news.com “there is no indication that the mum informed other passengers that he suffering from any condition that may have resulted in his distress.”

Now that we got that out the way, we have so many more questions. How did he not tire himself out? Is his throat not sore?

Truthfully, there probably wasn’t much that could have actually been done. It was far too late for parenting to begin on that flight. It should have started long before that child entered the plane. At one point in the video the child is seen sitting on top of the seats and banging on the ceiling while the mother is apparently trying to get him to come down. But how? What is she, asking him politely? Snatch your child, and put him in his seat belt. It’s clear that the screaming isn’t going to stop whether he is mobile or not. Instead, the mother politely tells the kid to “calm down honey” and asks for wifi so she can reward his behavior with an iPad.
