Parents allegedly ditch their 10-year-old at airport — jetting off to vacation without him: ‘Completely surreal'
As mom and dad prepped for takeoff, their kid was left as a castoff. An unnamed mother and father allegedly abandoned a 10-year-old boy at an unidentified airport in Spain after realizing they didn't pack all of the tot's necessary travel documents. Unwilling to miss their flight, the jet-setters boarded the airbus, leaving their son in the airport terminal, where a family member would eventually — hopefully — retrieve him. Advertisement 3 A whistleblower on social media blasted parents for allegedly leaving their 10-year-old son in the airport while they caught a flight. Michael – '[The kid] told [police] that his parents were on the plane, on their way to their home country for vacation,' said Lilian, a purported air-operations coordinator at the plane station where the incident occurred. She detailed the chaos to over 320,000 TikTok viewers. Her claims, however, have not yet been verified. Advertisement 'The explanation given to [the authorities] was that the child was traveling with an expired passport from Spain, and needed a travel visa,' said Lilian, speaking Spanish in the clip. 'Since he didn't have a visa, they left the kid in the terminal and called a relative to pick him up.' 'I didn't see it as normal,' she noted. 'The police didn't see it as normal either.' 3 Lilina, who claims to be an airport staffer, labeled the boy's abandonment one of the most 'surreal' experiences she's had while on the job. TikTok. Sure, most airlines allow children to fly alone — but leaving an unaccompanied minor alone in the airport just doesn't fly with most people worldwide. Advertisement Still, accidents do happen. A couple in Germany forgot their five-year-old daughter at Berlin's Stuttgart Airport back in 2018, claiming they'd each thought the other parent had taken charge of the girl. More recently, an unattended two-year-old was swept away on a luggage conveyor belt at New Jersey's Newark Liberty International Airport in late May. 3 Lilian claims the boy's parents did not have the proper travel documents for him, but didn't want to miss the flight to their home country for vacation. New Africa – Advertisement But Lilian, a mother of a now-adult daughter, says the abandonment of the 10-year-old boy was the most 'surreal' situation she's ever experienced as an airport employee. 'Hallucinating?' she questioned of the kid's folks. 'I'm an air traffic controller, and as a controller, I've seen a lot of things, but this has been completely surreal,' Lilian groaned. 'I'm amazed to think how parents could possibly leave their ten-year-old son at the terminal because he can't travel due to documentation issues.' She continued giving the unidentified dopes a harsh tongue lashing for putting their son's safety at risk. 'They call a relative, who might take half an hour, an hour or three hours, and they calmly board the flight and leave the child behind,' she spat. 'As a mother, I'd freak out.' Lilian reported that airport cops ultimately removed the parents' luggage from the flight and brought the pair to the on-site police station for questioning. It's unclear whether the boy's parents were arrested.

Federal judges detail rise in threats, 'pizza doxings,' as Trump ramps up criticism
In 2020, a disgruntled litigant posing as a deliveryman opened fire at the New Jersey home of District Judge Esther Salas, killing her 20-year-old son Daniel Anderl. Five years later, as President Donald Trump steps up his criticism of federal judges who have blocked some of his agenda, dozens of judges have had unsolicited pizzas delivered to their homes, often in Daniel Anderl's name. District Judge John J. McConnell, Jr. of Rhode Island, who stalled Trump's initial round of across-the-board spending cuts, is among those who received pizzas in Anderl's name. His courtroom also has been flooded by threatening calls, including one profanity-laced one that called for his assassination. McConnell, Jr. played a recording of the call during an unusual discussion Thursday where multiple federal judges discussed threats they have received — a notable conversation because judges usually only speak publicly from the bench and through their rulings, and rarely if ever, about personal threats and attacks. Salas and others said the number of attacks has escalated in recent months. Without using his name, Salas called on Trump and his allies to tone down the rhetoric and stop demonizing the judiciary, for fear of what more could happen. 'We're used to being appealed. But keep it on the merits, stop demonizing us,' Salas said. 'They're inviting people to do us harm.' Thursday's event was sponsored by Speak up for Justice, a nonpartisan group supporting an independent judiciary. District Judge John C. Coughenour of Washington recalled having a police SWAT team called to his home to respond to a false report of an attack after Coughenour in January halted Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship for children of people in the country illegally. District Judge Robert S. Lasnik of Washington also had pizzas delivered in Anderl's name to both his home and those of his two adult children, each in different cities, after an article in which he was quoted as being critical of attacks on judges was picked up by a television station in the Pacific Northwest, where he hears cases. 'The message to me was 'we know where you live, we know where your kids live, and they could end up dead like Daniel Anderl did,'' Lasnik said in an interview. Salas says U.S. Marshals have told her of more than 100 cases of so-called 'pizza doxings,' unwanted deliveries to the homes of federal judges and their families, since 2024, with most occurring this year. Salas added that she's heard of additional cases targeting state judges in states ranging from Colorado to Florida, incidents that wouldn't be tracked by Marshals, who protect federal judges. 'This is not some random, silly act, this is a targeted, concentrated, coordinated attack on judges,' Salas said in an interview, 'and yet we don't hear any condemnation from Washington.' Salas, nominated by Democratic President Barack Obama, in 2022 was critical of protests at the homes of Republican-nominated Supreme Court justices who revoked women's right to have an abortion, which were followed by the arrest of a man at the home of Justice Brett Kavanaugh who said he was there to assassinate the justice. Salas said both sides of the political aisle have used worrying rhetoric about judges, but it's reached a new peak since Trump took office. 'I've often referred to it as a bonfire that I believe the current administration is throwing accelerants on,' Salas said. Trump himself has led the charge against judges, often going after them by name on social media. He's said judges who've ruled against his administration are 'sick,' 'very dangerous' and 'lunatic.' Trump's allies have amplified his rhetoric and called for impeaching judges who rule against the president or simply disobeying their rulings. Earlier this year, several judges at the panel noted, Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee had a 'wanted' poster of judges who'd crossed the president hanging outside his congressional office. Lasnik said many judges appointed by presidents of both parties have told him of concerns but are nervous about discussing the issue openly. 'A lot of them don't know how to speak up and are afraid of crossing a line somewhere where they would get a judicial complaint like judge Boasberg did,' Lasnik said, referring to District Judge James E. Boasberg of D.C., who infuriated the Trump administration by finding they likely committed criminal contempt by disobeying his order to turn around a deportation flight to El Salvador. Though Chief Justice John Roberts has come to Boasberg's defense, Trump's Department of Justice this week filed a complaint against Boasberg over comments he made at a judicial conference that other judges worry the Trump administration won't obey their orders. Last month, Trump's Justice Department took the extraordinary step of suing every federal judge in Maryland over rules governing how they handle immigration cases. More than five dozen judges who've ruled against Trump are receiving enhanced online protection, including scrubbing their identifying information from websites, according to two Trump-appointed judges who wrote Congress urging more funding for judicial security. In 2022, Congress passed a law named after Daniel Anderl allowing judges to sue internet sites to take down identifying information.
