    Airlines charge parents an extra $300 to keep their children safe when they're flying alone, but just how protected are they? A 13-year-old girl who flew from Dallas to Portland by herself over the summer says she was sexually assaulted by a stranger sitting beside her. With as many as 400,000 children flying alone on any given weekend, Inside Edition conducted a demonstration to see how easy it can be for someone to approach an unaccompanied minor. #InsideEdition

    When I was 7-14 I would travel alone via the unaccompanied minor program from New Zealand to Australia 4-6 times a year. The airline always looked out for me so well and made sure I was happy and entertained me, also there was special seats right at the back for me with no other passengers. What was probably more dangerous was the fact that I started flying completely solo at age 15, with connecting flights. I’m glad I did but that was scary to not have someone walk you through the process.

      This is my experience too although flying from FL to NY every summer. They sat me in the front or all the way in the back with no one else like you said, checked on my frequently, and my mom walked me to gate and my dad picked me up at the gate where a flight attendant waited with me. I think this can work if done correctly but I get people being concerned when something like what happened to that 13 year old or the little boy happens. I agree though when I was 15 and my mom couldn’t walk me to the gate anymore it was really stressful.

    As scary as people can be during flights alone, they can also be so kind! I went from New York to California once alone when I was about 9 years old. I had the window sear and a sweet old lady sat by the aisle. She noticed I was scared during huge turbulence, and the sweet old lady held my hand until it settled down. Such a nice woman, I’ll never forget her. My mother also went through something similar. My mom had a young looking face and looked around 14 when she was 18, a grown woman kept telling her to eat more on flights and later asked how old my mother was. My mother said she was going to college and it shocked the woman! Regardless- strangers can sometimes really take care of kids.

    I used to fly alone as a kid all the time and SO many creepy people would try and talk to me. Most of the time I would just give them a disgusted face and ignore them, or when the flight attendant came around to check on me and asked if I needed anything I would say loudly "yeah. Not to be sat next to an old creepy guy next time" or something along those lines. They wouldn't say a word to me or look my direction after that 🤣

      it’s not that easy, a lot of kids especially in the states will usually fly solo to visit family or a parent in another state an dif their parents cannot accompany them to the plane and have nobody else to do so the child will have to go alone. it’s also important for children to learn this early in life to gain a level of maturity. most airlines would be much better than this one at making sure the child is secure and safe during the flight.

    As a woman who was once super young and went on a flight myself, this angers me. I fortunately got on a nearly empty flight (4 people up front and just little ole me in the far back corner like this girl) didn't get the trauma experience the unfortunate ones had,
    And this went on for 30 minutes for the victim. That's what angers me. And he got let go. This sickens me.
    Children should always be accompanied by an adult, they should start letting kids under 16 on the flight for free if it's not affordable!

    I was 15 years old when I traveled on a plane with my 6 year old sister as two unaccompanied minors. We flew from Wisconsin to California and they watched us very closely until we got on the plane. I felt like they barely paid attention to us. There was a lady on the plane that kept talking to me. She wanted to take pictures of me and asked for my address. It took me years to realize how wrong that was. No flight attendants noticed any of this. This experience is why my son will never fly as an unaccompanied minor.

    My mother was a hardworking single parent and couldn't always travel with me. She still wanted me to be able to visit family so I often flew solo. My first solo flight was at the age of 5 to London for a wedding. I flew solo many more times as a child and I always had a great time. The flight attendants were attentive, I remember being moved to first class on a flight so that they could keep a better eye on me. I also got to visit the cockpit a few times. Virgin Atlantic and Delta were my favorite airlines.

She taught me how to count, say some basic stuff and basically unwrapped the food for me the airline gave us. She was like a mother to me for those 10 hours because the airline did not supervise me at all once I was on the plane. I’m so thankful that I got someone so wonderful and not some sexual abuser.

    I flew solo at age 13 from Baltimore to Atlanta. But I couldn’t see me shipping my kid on a plane, especially this specific generation. Many lack the street awareness needed to evade, resist and escape and just pick up on the ques in general.

    I think there should be a special closed in area for minors that don’t have a parent/guardian with them. It has 3-5 rows, TV’s and meals.
    edit: i am reading this a year later and i understand how stupid the idea is now and how much money it would cost but wouldn’t you prefer your kid is safe rather than being groped??
