A family has been kicked out of a United Airlines flight to New Jersey after their two-year-old daughter refused to wear a mask, a measure that has been imposed due to the pandemic. of COVID-19 in most airlines.
Through her social media, mother Eliz Orban posted a video in which she shows the moment when her husband tries to put the mask on the child and she refuses while shouting and crying to prevent it. Subsequently, an employee of the airline arrives as far as the couple to warn them that they must abandon the flight that was about to take off.
In an interview with American news agency Fox News, the 26-year-old described the experience as “humiliating” and “traumatic.”
We recommend:
“We were kicked out because our 2-year-old daughter didn’t wear a mask. And the company has vetoed us forever because a two-year-old girl didn’t put on a mask,” Orban said. However, the airline clarified that the family is not vetoed and may fly through it in the future.
Although this measure has been implemented by most airlines, the World Health Organization (WHO) explains on its website that the mandatory use of a mask for mitigation of COVID-19 should not be mandatory for minors up to 5 years.
