A brutal attack on a baby on an Avianca flight was denounced this Thursday on social networks. Within hours of publishing the story, it has caused great outrage by the way the events occurred.

The woman accepts the suggestion and decides to lower the baby to the ground to crawl. The maneuver took effect and the baby calmed down, however the unthinkable happened.
“A few rows behind, an older lady (if you can call her that) sticks out her leg and kicks the baby in the face, breaking her lip,” says the complainant.
Apparently, the mother’s first reaction is to take her baby to the bathroom to wash off the blood.
The baby cries and squirms for hours, so the neighbor in the hall suggests to the prudent, exhausted and embarrassed mother that she put the baby to crawl in the hall, which is surely what she needs. The baby climbs down and finally stretches, calms down and begins to crawl.

According to the story, one of the flight attendants realizes who hit the child and claims him. The aggressor was an older adult who answered the following:
“The ‘little boy’ has me desperate with his crying, I’m an older woman and can’t stand the situation, that’s why I hit him,” was his argument.
The child’s mother, apparently, did not want conflicts with the aggressor despite the seriousness of the act. The other passengers insisted to the child’s mother that she report the incident when she landed the plane.
