"He's putting his daughters safety in the hands of American Airlines.” Well that was his first mistake

Her at 8: flying alone Me at 15: not allowed to cook

0:40 Once I heard “He’s putting his daughter’s safety in the hands of American Airlines” I knew it was a mistake😂 literally the worst airline ever

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.

I flew alone when I was 9 to China and this amazing Chinese woman was sitting beside me. 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. Poor girl that this happened to her 💔

“This eight year old is about to go on a plane by herself” Meanwhile I’m not even allowed to go outside without my parents watching me.

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.

“This 8-year old going on a plane all by herself” -*When I turned 11,i realised that eating sand was bad for my health*

her at 8: *flying alone* me at 8: crying because i can’t do a math equation

I was an unaccompanied minor 4 times before I got old enough. Didn't have any problems like this at all. Scary to see other situations happen to others

the simple way of stopping this from happening is not letting kids go on flights by themselves

I’m 14 and my mum doesn’t even let me walk around the block 🤦‍♀️ Edit: I don’t live somewhere dangerous I live in England

I don’t care if people think it’s “overprotective” or whatever but I would never ever let my young child travel alone.

I used to fly by myself very often when I was younger due to my parents co-parenting in different states. I’m glad this never happened to me. My heart goes out to MaKenzie

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 🤣

Unaccompanied minor......? Those words together deserve jail time.

Basically: Don’t trust airlines with your Child’s safety

that 8-yr: *flies on airplane by herself* 8-yr me: *having mental breakdown because I ate 3 gummy vitamins instead of 2*

I flew by myself at 10 my grandma went all the way up there with me until I boarded and the flight attendants were so nice they gave me a row by myself instead of sitting with the 2 other kids in the program they took really good care of me and I made friends with one of them I couldn’t imagine this happening to me I’m forever grateful

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!

"He's putting his daughter's safety in the hands of American Airlines" well, there's your issue

What kind of elite level kidnapper is going to kidnap a child at 30,000 feet in the air with 300 witnesses?

McKenzie: mom, I'm 45 years old now. You can let me fly by myself now. Mom: NO!!

Parents have NO business sending their children unaccompanied anywhere. That’s CPS stuff.

“This 8-year-old is going to go on a plane all by herself!” **me a 19-year-old isn’t even allowed to order pizza by myself**

His hand was shaking so much when he handed her that candy bar

I’m 30 and I’m terrified to travel alone I can’t imagine this little girl by herself. If I was flying I’d be like keep me company lol

Bruh, those parents have EXTREME faith that everything will go ok for their 8-year old traveling in an airplane. You don't know what kind of people exist out there man.

5 year old kid : **flies solo** 16 year old me : **scared to take the bus alone**

1:18 The producer who gave her the candy was shaking so hard 😂😂😂😂😂😂 he felt like it was wrong 🤣🤣

When I flew to India by myself I was really nervous and started sobbing because I thought I would miss my flight everyone was really friendly and some people started calming me down they were all really friendly and talked about their families and where they lived and everything. So i didn’t have a bad experience thankfully.

I have once flown solo when I was 11. The difference was my dad booked business class. They took extra care. One of the best experiences of my life ngl. I was pretty excited at that time. It was a 3 and a half hour flight.

“He’s putting his daughter’s safety into the hands of American Airlines” and that’s where you went wrong

They should have special seats for the unaccompanied children so they can be monitored

I flew alone before when I was 10. I sat by this really nice French man. He even let me use his phone.

The fact that any parent would let a child be unsupervised like this is child neglect and child endangerment

My mom doesn’t even let me go outside.

Dude that producer was shaking when he gave the candy bar to her. That's how you know he's a good person.

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.

Allowing your kid to ride a plane unaccompanied is like telling them to walk up to the white van with no windows to get candy. 😖

Yo why does the man look like he’s having a seizure when giving the candy

5 year olds: *flying by themselves* *Me: SlOwLy ClOsInG tHe FrIdGe To SeE iF tHe LiGhTs WoUlD tUrN oFf*

I've traveled like this a couple of times and fortunately nothing creepy has happened to me so I'm very grateful

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.

Why would anyone ever let a 5 year old fly solo?

To anyone who is afraid of flying on an airplane: Crashing and stuff is very rare. I’ve been flying on airplanes all my life

I went unaccompanied when I was 10 and didn’t feel scared or nervous of my time in the air. It’s all a matter of the child flying and their maturity and awareness aswell.

This practice is completely insane and would never be legal if not for greed.

"It's another child with her son's passport" 💀

If anyone tried to touch me in an airplane I would be like “you better get your hand back otherwise ima cough on you”

How do these kids travel alone?! I cant even walk around school without a friend in case someone talks to me 😂😂😂

her at 8: flying alone me at 15: doesn’t know what 5x5 equals

Mackenzie’s story nearly brought me to tears. Terrifying and shame on the Airline and that man. I’m sorry honey, you didn’t deserve that

I never knew that 5-year-old kids can fly by themselves. This world is weird. Thanks for likes 😊 I appreciate it!

her at 8: flying alone me at 14: not allowed to have my door shut

Omg is nobody going to talk about Mackenzie??? What she went through is horrible!!

her at 8: flying alone me at 15 : scared to ask the mcdonald's cashier for an another mcflurry

Sending a single child is very dangerous at least 1 sibling is necessary

This is so scary like this is REAL. Not fake, and its just terrifing this actually happens.

When I went on the unaccompanied program, (NY to LA) I was upgraded to first class because someone didn't show up for their seat, and a woman showed up every five minutes to check on me. It was great. I even got all the amenities!

The thirteen year old looks the same age as her mom.

I mean... this kind of things can happen even when you're in the bus. And even when you're a grown up. But as long as you're in a plane surrounded by people, I feel it's safe still.

My mom used to send us on the plane by ourselves. It was a pretty straight forward process and the flight attendants never left our side and walked us straight to our guardians

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??

1:54 sure that ain't her sister

will never understand how u can let your child fly alone, even for a grownup its challenging enough

Nah man protect the kids at all costs. Why didn’t anyone stop him

Why was he shaking when he gace her the candy bar tho😂😂

8 yr old: goes on plane by herself My 13 year old ass: my parents won't even let me leave the house alone

I flied solo when i was 14 and it was the coolest experience ever. Dont get how parents would trust their *eight* yr old child to fly solo though???

Mother: I won’t let my kid fly alone. Airlines : yes….more ticket sales for us!!! And less headache for the staff!

I'm gonna be 16 next year and I still don't know how to travel. If I travel alone, I'm gonna lose my passport, board the wrong plane, lose my luggage.

I would be scared shitless and I'm way older if I flew on a plane by myself

Her at 8 : flying alone Me at 15 : get avoided by everything

That girl is brave af. I could never go alone on a plane and I’m 18😭

Other parents: scream "STRANGER DANGERS!!!" My parents: if you're in danger, RUN. If you got caught, ur fault... next time run faster.

If that dude touched me i would have smacked some sense into him 😂

Goodness, in todays world I can’t believe people would still send their underage child alone on a plane to another country. I think the parents should be charged with something in these cases.

Who the hell would let a young child fly alone?

How is that Mckenzie girl even 13? I looked like I was 7 when I was 13 bruh

NO! THIS IS PATRICK

I flew alone at 11 years old from South Africa to London and my flight attendants were so kind they changed my seat as take off took place to a girl my age just to make both of us more comfortable, I made a good friend out of that. My flight back I was very comfortable as well. I'm 26 now so this was a while back. British Airways thank you. I'm sad to see other minors experience something different.

I flew alone when I was 15 and this business dude next to me (probably 45-50) WOULD NOT LEAVE ME ALONE! I was in the window seat and he was in the center seat and I remember being so creeped out by him and his interest in my personal life…

why is a 5 yr old going by himself wtf lil bill turning into dora the explora

How can kids. The age of 5 travel on their own? At 5 I didn't know my way around school 😭

Personally, I’d *_never_* leave my kids _alone, by themselves_ in an _airport_ 🤦‍♀️ like- why is this even a thing?!

My mom doesn’t let me go to school, go outside, or do ANYTHING without her.

“He’s putting the safety of his daughter in American Airlines.” Well there’s one problem.

You could see that guys hand shaking when he gave her candy cuz he didn’t want to do it cuz he knows he looks like a creep XD

i started flying alone when i was 15, i still felt like i was too young for that. im 18 now and it's still scary.

I remember flying solo when I was 17 from the USA to Mexico, but fortunately for me nothing went wrong

That 8 year old has some cool looking headphones.

and i panic when i loose my mum in a supermarket😂😂xD

Ok but... WHO sends their CHILD ALONE on a Airplane across the country!? If you love your kid you'd never put them in such a dangerous and risky situation

I honestly don't think a child should be aloud to fly alone until around 16

She a better vloger than most of them out there. She doesn’t yell and scream and make a scene.

If a stranger does touch me I'll scream like a girl to get everyone attention and say this guy is trying to kidnap meeee and also punch him

Don't put your kids on a plane alone. It's your job to protect your child. Not the air lines.

I can't imagine sending my child on a plane alone....or anywhere alone, in general with the way the world is
