Please only state actual facts, not hyperbole, conjecture, make up guesses or anything else, just facts. Try it, you might like it, it's called progress !

For whatever reason he is siting on top of the seat back, does not alter the fact he is a safety hazard. I would suggest you follow your own advice. Being snarky doesn't improve your credibility.

Dialing 911 or any of the other widely used emergency numbers (112, 999. etc.) won't dial the actual number. Instead, the cellphone will send a network request to connect to the local emergency call center. So dialing 911 in Germany will connect you to a German emergency call center.

Calling 110 and saying there is a child loose on flight LH xxx about to take off from FRA causing a safety hazard takes about 10 seconds! Nothing much to explain....
Actually you just need to tell them you are on the flight and feel there is a safety problem - they will take it from there!
The tower being informed and stepping in to check and question less than 3 minutes!
It is a standardized process!

HA! But the flight crew did let it happen on a JAL flight I was on just recently, an infant would not stop crying for four hours. My tickets were Business Class...

I don't particularly like children, but a crying baby is hardly the same as a relatively large child that need some limits yelling for 8hrs because the mom cannot and will not handle the situation.

First, it sounds extremely selfish / elitarian.
Second, most children on flights I have encountered didn't make much noise. They may have cried for a view minutes during cabin pressure changes or for other reasons, but that was over quickly. So I don't think this is an issue that needs to be addressed in such a harsh manner.

I fail to see why that would be a good idea.
