It was negligent to abandon the minor. It does not matter if the child was in the right or wrong because the law and society required the legal person Air Canada to behave in a responsible manner in respect to the child. Again you try to push the latitude of acceptance by using the term inconvenience. Wrong. When a child is left unattended in a public place it is an endangerment. This is what the courts hold and it reflects society's views. You do not agree. Fine. In Canada we have child labour laws too.

Again you make wild assumptions about over parenting. All that which you argue is worthless. It has no relevance to the central issue which is that the child was abandoned at Canada's largest airport. The child was not left alone for a few hours. He was abandoned by the airline when it would not provide a connecting flight without a delay of 2 days.
