re: Sending kids alone on airplanes, is it bad parenting?

his kid didn't. I asked him where his parents were so I could offer to swap seats with them and he said that he was alone then a flight attendant came by and asked the same thing, she looked at me and said "They really can fly a lot younger now, they just changed the rules".

That's what bothered me, I think that sending the kid with an airline escort is different than sending them completely alone.

Obviously, they aren't going to send someone with him on the actual plane. They just have people with him when he passes through security and when he gets off the plane. You can't really get lost when you get on the plane.
