One of the most convenient ways for us to get from one place to another is to fly. It’s a very fast way to travel, but it doesn’t mean that it is without problems.
One woman found this out all too well when she was on a flight and had a run in with a little child. The child wanted to sit in the window seat, but the woman had the ticket for that seat and she refused to move.
It happened when Jennifer Castro was flying from Rio de Janeiro and there was a crying child on the flight with her. She took a video of what happened and posted it, starting a viral debate that is still going on.
In the video, you can see Castro listening to her headphones calmly while a passenger is criticizing her for not giving her seat up. The four-year-old boy wanted the seat, but she refused to give it over.
The child’s mother was interviewed and she said that she never asked for the seat or had a confrontation with Castro, but that didn’t stop the video from going viral. A debate even began raging online, and she became famous, having followers that numbered more than 2 million.
Castro found at least a little humor in the subject, uploading a video that made some fun of what took place. In the video, she even partnered with a shopping app to promote gifts for Christmas, joking about how the tablets would be the best solution to keep children entertained on such a long flight.
Most of the people who follow Castro have been supportive of her decision and many of them were happy that she stood her ground. Others, however, felt that she should have capitulated, even if only temporarily.

This isn’t something that is going to be answered overnight but it’s fun to watch the debate as it rages.
