  1. Who the hell sends their Six yr child unattended on a freaking flight ?!? Omfg

  2. And you brought this to the news why? Your son should know better. He isn’t 6 years old.

  3. Frontier Airline doesn't scan bording pass?

  4. How embarrassing to be compared to a 6yo and 11yo.

  5. I worked with United Airlines for some years (several positions) and once the flight was fully boarded one of us always made a flight number and destination announcement on the plane just before departure. If the teen was plugged into his headphones and missed the announcement then that's the way the cookie crumbles – better luck next time!

  6. But he's practically an adult tho😮

  7. He looks Puerto Rican I don’t blame the gate person 😂 probably thought he was going right home

  8. He must be about as dumb as he looks. How will he ever make it in the real world in 2 years when he becomes a legal adult? And don't forget, English is his primary language. It's not like he couldn't understand the instructions given.

  9. What parent in their right mind would allow a 6 year old to fly alone..

  10. Totally airline mistake
    Tickets get scanned for a reason
    Someone didn't do their job!!
    Period.

  11. Are they sure this was an accident and not some teenager trying to see what he could get away with? His dad watched Home Alone 2, so maybe he did, too. And, I mean, healthy curiosity at that age isn't a bad thing.

  12. Frontier/Spirit is the worst airline in the world. TERRIBLE service.

  13. And whatelse? He rode first-class. Where they served him "arroz con chorizo" [rice & sausages] for dinner, right. Where the federal marshall on board didn't notice the anglo? Make the "crete" pay for the flight.

  14. Haaaaaa, he “accidentally” went to Puerto Rico.

  15. I might be time to teach this 16-year-old to read.

  16. Home alone part 2 lol!!

  17. It was a mistake (that happens often) and should have been caught at the gate, had the agent scanned his boarding pass. This airline needs to review their boarding protocol.

  18. Things happen no big deal, let’s put some blame on the parent who thought dumping their child who clearly doesn’t know how he doing at the airport

  19. Americans are getting dumber & dumber. 🤪

  20. 1. Gates have screens with their destinations.
    2. Announcements saying their destination pre boarding, boarding and before takeoff.
    3. Crazy how someone’s seat wasn’t taken by this kid👀

  21. And where are the parents why are minors unaccompanied by adults shame on parents kids have to raise themselves

  22. Yikes thats just a little bit off target 😅

  23. A decidedly conservative outlet-the Wall Street Journal said that President Biden has done a fantastic job with the economy. In fact, WSJ said that Biden “is winning.” It is nice to see a conservative outlet giving credit where credit is due. Faux News, of course, returned to the “it’s the economy, stupid” nonsense, but RawStory reported last week that saying can no longer be used because the economy is flourishing under Biden’s leadership.

  24. Cold Cleveland vs warm Puerto Rico… hhhmmmm 😏

  25. Technology is only as good as the humans who make it.

  26. I once forgot to put a sign saying No peanut for a boy & his family celebrating mother’s day at a restaurant when part timing. The boy’s father told me you may have forgotten by mistake, but i can’t serving him his meds. That There are people way more messed up than me 😮

  27. 🎼Both Brawny & Charmin' 🧻

    Make effective wipers,

    Don't Judge me 'til You've🟠

    walked a mile in my….

    ADULT DIAPERS!! 🎶😆
    #TrumpStinks

  28. 😮😮😮😮😮😮

  29. Yup, teens can do this! When I was 18 I mistakenly got on the wrong Greyhound bus. Had a close call with a sketchy crazy man before I got where I was supposed to go.

  30. Man that McCallister family sure does have a problem keeping track of their kids.

  31. Some people seem to get very overwhelmed in airports. I saw an adult on an aircraft who had done the very same thing and called a flight attendant as we were backing away from the gate. Kindly, the flight crew took the aircraft back to the gate and let the person off.

  32. That's a slow 16-year-old
