A Texas mom is outraged after a Southwest Airlines worker made fun of her 5-year-old daughter’s name – by snapping a picture of the girl’s boarding pass and posting it on social media.
Traci Redford, from El Paso, says the agent at John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California, began poking fun at her daughter’s name, Abcde – pronounced “ab-city” – as they boarded a flight a few weeks ago and put it online for users to shame the girl, who suffers from epilepsy.
“The gate agent started laughing, pointing at me and my daughter, talking to other employees. So I turned around and said, ‘Hey if I can hear you, my daughter can hear you, so I’d appreciate if you’d just stop,'” Redford told KABC this week.
Redford said she only recently learned that the agent took a picture and put it online after a friend spotted it circulating on social media.
“While I was sitting there, she took a picture of my boarding pass and chose to post it on social media, mocking my daughter,” Redford said.

They are not shaming the daughter, but the mother for such a silly name.
Why do I think no father was involved?
Was Southwest Airlines confused when the kid boarded, not knowing where she should sit - either the rightmost A-B or the leftmost C-D-E?
Seems the proper pronounciation;
AB-ce-DEE.
Well, my daddy left home when I was three
And he didn’t leave much to ma and me
Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze
Now, I don’t blame him ‘cause he run and hid
But the meanest thing that he ever did
Was before he left, he went and named me Sue
This is why she named her child such a stupid name. Attention whore pimping out her child.
Talk about child abuse here is a good case for removing child from idiotic parents.
Yep, silly name. She should have named the Kid ZYXWV.
The father be abcent.
It’s as bad as blacks giving their children ghetto names. One strike against them already.
That is *not* what they are doing, and it is obvious.
Do you think adults should not be mocked for severe stupidity that makes mockery of social boundaries?
That is what the mother did. She stupidly mocked social boundaries and her daughter will pay for it for her entire life.
The mother deserves to be mocked, severely.
Kinda reminds me of these people with ink, piercings and gauged earlobs.....then they get mad when you stare.....wadaya expect??
I knew a Bronco Billy. An inmate was named Serious Curious because his mama was in serious pain birthing him and curious who the daddy was. Far too many girls with boy names and boys with girl names who had the embarrassment of getting put in the wrong groups/classes but these days with all the parents turning their kids into trannies, well...
The mother is the most basic explaination of “ You can’t fix stupid”.. And she is perpetually pissed off about her own stupidity. It does exist.. She is perpetual motion in action. Actually she’s not perpetual motion, others are feeding her need to be accepted as a stupid person. The mother is mother goose,,,Where is the father of abcde? ..
Just wait until she gets put on the no-fly list for having what appears to be a fake name.
The mother is dumb as rocks. You name your child something stupid you pretty much sentenced him/her to a life of ass kicking in school.
I knew a teacher who had a student with first name pronounced “Fe molly” and last name was Brown. The teacher asked her where her family go her interesting first name. The student said that the name was given to her by the hospital when she was born. Her name is Female Brown.
Why do I think no father was involved?......................
The girl’s first name is made up from the first initial of each of the potential fathers.
That would be abcdent!
I am thinking of changing my name to Photi. The “Ph” is pronounced as it is in the word “Photography”; the “o” is pronounces as it is in the word “woman”; the “ti” is pronounced as it is in the word “vacation”. That means my name would be pronounces as “Fish” even though I choose to no longer spell it that way.
Ha!
