An incident which saw two women lock a crying toddler in an aeroplane toilet has sparked an online debate in China on how to manage children in public spaces.
The incident went viral on the Chinese internet after one of the two women, Gou Tingting, posted a video of herself carrying the girl inside the cubicle.
In her post, she presented herself as trying to help others on board, but was swiftly met with backlash.
Not great, but at least she was being considerate of other passengers. Sometimes kids have serious meltdowns, and reasonable solutions aren’t possible.
I would agree with you if she went into the restroom with the child to soothe it rather than just locked it in there.
That definitely would have been better. Probably more effective, too.
No, you don’t abuse children to be “considerate of others”.
Sometimes kids have serious meltdowns, you wait for them to end.
