Next time you dream of crashing your brat to fly to the ends of the earth, feel no more guilt. Unlike you, some act. A Belgian couple thought they could return from a trip to Tel Aviv without their baby. The parents were quickly intercepted and their escape attempt ended at the local police station.
Three humans, two plane tickets, one solution
On January 31, a Belgian couple traveling with their baby arrived late at Tel Aviv airport. The parents had not provided a ticket for their child and, faced with the refusal of the staff to let him on board, they finally decided to leave without him. The discretion of these individuals is matched only by their discernment, a video posted on Twitter shows the child deposited prominently in his cozy near the boarding counter.
The airline quickly located the child and alerted the local police who managed to arrest the parents before takeoff.
What are the risks of parents who abandon their child?
If this story awakens some of our darkest fantasies, it also shocks the decent parent that lies dormant within us. However, this is not the first time such an event has occurred. In 2013, the French had left their children with the nanny before going on vacation. While it’s impossible to know what’s going on in a parent’s head when he makes that decision, attempts at abandonment and evasion of parental obligations are severely punished. The neglected child is then entrusted to a trusted third party or childcare services. The parents are liable to two years’ imprisonment and a fine of 30,000 euros.
