Chinese Couple Forgot Their Sleeping 10-Year-Old Daughter When Boarding Off A Plane! Like Seriously?

Forgetting items on a flight is a common issue for travelers, but a mother and father in China was apparently so distracted, or in the middle of a deep and complicated situation, that they forgot their 10-year-old child when boarding off a plane.

According to AirLive.net, the unidentified parents were traveling with their daughter on a China Southern Airlines flight when the plane landed at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport following a journey from Chengdu.

Once crew members thought all of the passengers had disembarked from the plane, they began cleaning the aircraft. A short-time later, an airline employee was stunned to find the 10-year-old girl asleepin the back of the plane.
After waking up the little girl, crew members asked her for the phone number of her parents so they could inform them of their mistake. The 10-year-old girl provided employees with the number and the parents were notified.
AirLive.net provided an image on Twitter of the unidentified child sleeping on the plane after being discovered alone:

The little girl’s father told China Southern Airlines officials that they assumed their daughter would follow them off the plane because they were busy collecting their luggage.

While it’s uncommon, and flat-out horrible, for parents to leave their children on planes, unattended kids being left at airports happens far too much.
That’s a bad parenting move right there!
