I could not believe when I read the story could NOT believe it but it did happen and I am telling you one thing if this happened to me the MoFo would have his teeth handed to him and it would have been on like on like Donkey Kong. Now we all know that toddlers do not make the best travelers they are toddlers and they suck at it we all know this. But sometimes people need to get on a plane and they have their children it is part of life so people who have a hard time with children flying need to get the f*ck over it. A plane is one big ass overprices bus. You buy a ticket like everyone else and you fly. I do not know when some people decided that airplane travel was reserved for the over 21 set. Yes their might be some parents that have a hard time controlling their kids and just don't give a shit but you also have parents like myself who go out of their way to make sure we do not bother other passengers when we fly. You want to slap your own kid none of my business a stranger walks up and slaps my 2 year old your friggin head is going to roll and believe you me I don't f*ck around when it comes to shit like that. I have thrown down before I had kids and I will throw down now if anyone ever touches my kid. Who the f*ck does this man think he is? Beside slapping the poor kid{who was probably having ear issues as most kids do when plane is taking/landing} he threw a few racial slurs in the mix. Really??/Reallyy???? No matter what you feel like when it comes to kids traveling NO ONE has the right to place a hand on YOUR child......This man crossed the line period...their is no justification for this none whatsoever.
A man is facing simple assault charges after he allegedly slapped a 19-month-old toddler across the face while calling the child the n-word.
The incident took place Feb. 8 aboard Delta Air Lines Flight 721, en route from Minneapolis to Atlanta, when Joe Rickey Hundley, 60, is said to have slapped the child, named Jonah, who was traveling with his mother, Jessica Bennett, the Smoking Gun reports.
FBI Agent Daron Cheney said Hundley was sitting in seat 28A while Bennet and her son sat in seat 28B, during the two-hour flight.
According to the Smoking Gun, Bennett told investigators that Jonah began to cry as the plane changed altitude in its final descent to Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, and that she attempted to comfort him when Hundley, who was sitting next to her on the flight, turned around and slapped her son with an open hand, saying “shut that [n*****] baby up.”
Bennet said the slap caused Jonah to scream even louder, and that it also “caused a scratch below [the child’s] right eye.”
Hundley reportedly denies striking the child or using the racial slur; however, he does say he “asked the mother to quiet the child.”
According to the Smoking Gun, Hundley, the president of an aircraft parts manufacturer in Hayden, Idaho, was traveling to Atlanta to visit a hospitalized relative, whose illness made him “distraught.” He says he consumed one alcoholic beverage during the flight.
But several witnesses who assisted Bennet after the attack say otherwise. Todd Wooten, who was in seat 16C, said that he “heard derogatory language coming from the rear of the aircraft” and saw Hundley hit the child when he got up to investigate.
Bennet said Hundley had drunk several double vodkas during the flight and had previously complained that her son was too big to be a “lap baby.” She added that she believed he was intoxicated when he boarded the plane, and that he “reeked of alcohol” and was “stumbling around wasted.”
Apprehended when the flight landed, Hundley faces up to a year in prison if convicted of the misdemeanor count. In addition, he was charged with public intoxication and carrying a concealed weapon; the "weapon" he claims, was a wine corkscrew.
Hundley apparently has history of violence, having been arrested in 2007 for having a fight with his girlfriend.
