A couple has been accused of abandoning their 10-year-old son to catch their flight. The child had problems with his documentation that prevented him from boarding a plane at the Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport in Barcelona, so his parents boarded with their younger child and called relatives to pick the 10-year-old up. Local police were called and halted the flight. The couple was escorted off the plane and brought to the police station, where the child had been taken for safety. According to a video on TikTok from an air coordinator who witnessed the event, the boy was traveling with a Spanish passport because the passport from his country of origin had expired. He was missing the required visa and thus could not board the plane. The Daily Beast has reached out to Guardia Civil and local authorities for comment.
