“Mid-Flight Horror: Toddler Locked in Airplane Toilet as Strangers Claim ‘Education’ Justification”
The incident occurred on a Juneyao Airlines flight from Guiyang to Shanghai when the baby started loudly crying due to the changes in pressure once the plane took off, frustrating passengers who resorted to stuffing tissues in their ears to drown out the noise.
Attempts by the grandparents to calm the little girl by entertaining her with a phone failed and, feeling pressured by other travelers, they gave permission to two women to take matters into their own hands.
One of them, Gou Tingting, shared the clip on social media, where the toddler is seen trapped in a small bathroom with the two, desperately hitting the door and asking to be let out.
“I just wanted to educate the child and let everyone have a good rest,” Tingting said, ordering the one-year-old to remain silent for three full minutes if she wanted to see her grandmother again.

The two women then proceeded to tell the girl she could only see her grandmother again if she stopped crying. The toddler is seen protesting, and the video abruptly ends, but sources from the flight indicate that she indeed calmed down and remained silent for the rest of the flight.
Upon landing in Shanghai, where the girl was to reunite with her father, police reportedly became involved, but the grandmother came to the women’s defense, leading to no action being taken against them.
