Angry Georgia mom claims airline 'lost my child' in viral TikTok video
Fox News
A Georgia mom in a viral TikTok video is upset with American Airlines after her 12-year-old daughter traveled alone in the "unaccompanied minors" program, the mom told Fox News Digital.
Mom and daughter arrived early at the airport to check the girl in with the airline as an unaccompanied minor. Gilliam said she was incredulous. "How do you lose an unaccompanied minor?" Gilliam said she'd also like to warn other parents about the unexpected events that may take place when a child travels alone. Deirdre Reilly is a senior editor, lifestyle, with Fox News Digital.
Her daughter was flying solo down to Miami from the Chattanooga airport in Tennessee for a three-week visit with her father, Gilliam told Fox News Digital in a phone interview.
Gilliam said she paid $150 dollars extra, in addition to the ticket price, to make sure her daughter would be escorted directly to her waiting father once the plane landed, under the airline's "unaccompanied minors" program.
