Flying is already stressful enough—do we really have to add stabbing to the mix?
That might sound a little extreme, but one flyer surely doesn't think so. The anonymous flyer was on an undisclosed airline, and while trying to relax and let the airline miles pass by, a little girl approached her and started stabbing her with a fork.
The original video has been removed from TikTok, but Instagrammer Rasheda Gains (@rashedaisthename) managed to share the video on the other social media platform, where users were quick to share their opinions.
The video opens with the little girl in a pale pink dress already standing in the airplane aisle, looking at the woman and holding the fork pointed downward as if to poke or stab her.
The woman holds up a sparkly black flip-flop up over her head while trying to get a flight attendant's attention. Then she continues to hold it up, as if she were warning the little girl that she might get a tap on the hand or head if she tried to poke her with a fork again, all while reporting to the approaching flight attendant that the girl was stabbing her.
The woman says:
"Hey, she over here stabbing people with forks. She just ran up and stabbed me with a fork."
Then she warns as they pulled the girl away:
"I'm gonna f**k her up. She ran up and hit me and stabbed me with a fork."

Some empathized with the woman and encouraged her to defend herself if she needed to.

Others confided that the girl's proximity to the woman alone would have been enough to make them nervous.

Raising children isn't easy, and because every parent and child is different, there isn't exactly a manual on how to do it. But clearly, something is going on at home if this child not only thought it was okay to wander around the plane without reproach, but also to run up to a stranger and also prod at them with a sharp tool.
Bopping her over the head with a sandal might not be the right answer either, but allowing her to do what she wanted on a plane full of strangers isn't winning any parenting awards, either.
