How many parents would actually say "yes i object, please sit them next to a female"???
Probably not a lot. But how many other pax, cc, airport staff are going to jump to the wrong conclusion when the UM is crying and the pax alongside has tried to comfort her? I don't want to take that chance.
It's a bloody sad world, but I am coming to the conclusion that if I see ANY child in difficulties the only safe steps to take are long ones - in the opposite direction.
