Delta passenger claims stranger’s child kicked her repeatedly and crew refused to help

A woman from Los Angeles has claimed she suffered bruised ribs after a child repeatedly kicked her throughout a Delta flight.

 

A woman has complained that she was left with cartilage damage after being kicked repeatedly by a child on a recent Delta flight.

 

Sally Canario from Los Angeles claims that when she alerted the cabin crew, she was told it was her being the nuisance – not the kicking child.

 

The incident occurred on an overnight flight from Los Angeles to Minneapolis on 2nd April.

 

Speaking to Sun Online Travel, she said: “I was up against the window, trying to get some sleep on a red eye flight. A stranger’s daughter was trying to sleep on the plane with her head in her mother’s lap and her feet in my face, in my side, and on my lap. The girl threw a bad tantrum — screaming, crying, and bicycle kicking while she was trying to sleep, [but] the airline would not accommodate me for a safer, comparable seat.”

 

When Sally asked a flight attendant for assistance in resolving the incident, the Delta employee allegedly refused and said: “I am not a babysitter, you two parties need to work things out.”

 

“This is a full flight. I do not take injury reports… you aren’t injured”

 

“I heard you were causing trouble and harassing the family next to you.”

 

Sally’s doctor assured her the ribs will heal, however, they will be more painful over the next few days.

 

In a statement to Fox News, Delta said: “We regret to learn of the experience and discomfort described by this customer on a recent flight. We are in direct contact with this customer while we gather more information about the situation.”
