New York artist Shane Townley has experienced every plane passenger‘s worst nightmare: a screaming child on a long-haul flight.
Townley was travelling from Germany to New York on a Lufthansa flight on August 26 last year when a toddler decided to ruin his life. So in return, the artist decided to film the toddler and shame him, and his mother, on a YouTube video that resurfaced this week.
You can clearly see and hear in the footage that the child is unsettled and unhappy. That’s a polite way of saying what Townley called exhibiting “demonic” behaviour. He narrates the eight-hour-long video with the following commentary:
“Demonic screams take over the plane.”
“‘Mom to the flight attendant: ‘Let’s get the wi-fi going so we can get the iPad going.’ We still haven’t taken off yet.”
“Free to create chaos the kid runs through the plane screaming.”
“Some believe this is proof that digital devices cause this.”
He then focuses the camera at the ceiling and continues recording sound that lasts for the entire eight hours of the flight.
This must have been excruciating for all of the passengers to endure – except of course the mother, who would have been relaxed and enjoying her son destroy everyone’s peace of mind.
Not.

I am not going to quarrel over the mothers ability to control her child. She obviously had no control. First though...was this woman flying alone with this child? If so, why would her family allow her to travel alone and not help. I had a daughter years ago that battled cancer starting at the age of 4. There were choices I had to make to ensure her comfort and mental health. I didn't get to do many things I wanted to...I couldn't get on a plane with her...she would have be subject to airborne illnesses. How many children fly daily with autism? So my guess is, even with this illness, he is still not the norm.
It's self righteous bullshit like this article that lets entitled assholes, like the mother of this spoiled rotten child, treat an entire plane full of people like they don't matter. You have the audacity to speak of the mother's right to privacy??? They are in public!!!! and they are assaulting everyone on that plane with horrible, demonic screams. Meanwhile the idiot mother says "calm Down Honey" once every couple of hours as her brat terrorizes the plane. Why is her right to be a shit parent more important than everyone else right to quiet? This is ridiculous. You hear "disability" and "child" and you immediately forfeit every right of every other passenger in favor of this ineffectual mother from Hell. She should have strapped that kid into the seat, and if he didn't shut up, beat his ass every few minutes until he did.
