When the plane landed in Albuquerque, the family was met by police. A Southwest Airlines spokeswoman told ABC News the local authorities were called "out of precaution for the child."

The parents were questioned by police and released to continue to their final destination.

The end of the article sounds a lot more reasonable than the beginning.

Sometimes little babies need a good slap to remind them who is boss.

Good for her. You don’t hit a 13 month old child.

The baby pulled the rope for the slide, grabbed two beers and split, after giving everyone the baby-finger.

I've always had littler respect for adults who get agitated because a baby *dares* to cry.
Bratty children are another matter.

Taking custody of a child and asking to bounce and smooth the baby are vastly different things

Since the police were called, I go with the former rather than the the later

Any dimwitted leftie who can not recognize that a child over a year old is no longer a baby has zero business working with the public.

Either as an airline attendant or as a girbilist.
