Thank the Lord she is safe. I don't think I would let her travel alone again. It's just too dangerous and as you can see, anything could happen. Not just to her , but any child
The family should request a transporter at the time of ticket purchase, this way someone is assigned from the time she gets to the airport to her flight and the same when she lands.
@@fashionlife5348 my grandson is autistic, each child has their own limits as to what they can do safely by themselves, clearly flying alone was outside of this particular child's limits
*Fortunately!* I was not feeling good about this situation with the original details given, but I am pleased about the outcome of her being returned. 💐
@@lettiegrant9447 It's not about thinking positively or negatively! It's about thinking realistically!! It's the world we're living in today, in case you haven't noticed!!
@@lettiegrant9447 The story has been troublesome from the beginning and, having seen the parents, this girl should still be worried about. You want to bury your head in the sand, be my guest. But stop being meddlesome and telling people how to think.
Exactly....I'm confused why it's so important for her to travel. Where the hrll is she going and why? Sounds like negligence at worst or a bad idea at best
Cause for celebration! That baby deserves better/best from her parents. Adults who have no issues, can be stressed flying. Still, hearing she's okay, lifts our spirits!!!
Nowadays, you cannot trust the airlines to handle your traveling minor. This is the third time a parent bought a nonstop ticket and the airlines effed it up.
So now we're mixing apples with oranges.... they never bought Emma a minor ticket... and yes many minor children have been lost.. but Emma is not one of those... That's why Delta didn't get involved and the father flew in to try to find her... try to keep up
@@ronnieking3848 no sir.... keep up... her parents said they saw her go through TSA.... once she is at the gate without paperwork she is a regular passenger.... Delta did not drop the ball... the parents did. If she had paperwork.... she would not have gone through. TSA.... all alone.... the parents did not pay for that service.... they gambled...
Minors are always escorted to the plane by an airline employee and when the plane lands they are taken to a lounge area and that's where a parent or an assigned relative has to pick them up. This girl was not considered a minor.
She has Autism. Depending where she falls on the spectrum she doesn't have the capacity for any of this and something needs supportive care. That's why they had her on a direct flight.
She may have had meds at school and since it was supposed to be a short flight to Boston they probably planned for her to travel without it & just get it once she arrived at school…maybe she attends a school for special needs students…idk about the phone & I wonder why they couldn’t get her an unaccompanied minor designation or similar designation for the trip … but sometimes when you’re raising a special needs child things you do may not make sense to anyone else…I don’t think we’ll ever know all the whys but I’m beyond relieved they found her safe…
Minors fly alone more than you'll ever realize. There's procedures to follow but this was not a minor. She got confused catching her connecting flight. Someone should have told her where to go once she got a the Atlanta airport but she probably didn't ask anyone.
She's probably traumatized from the experience but so thankful to God she's found. I can't imagine having a child missing for five days, not knowing where they are or if they're ok.
@@glocktaviousbrown5420 no it's not. 17 is adult. If you get charged with a crime at 17 they put you in with adults in jail. 17 is old enough for county jail not a little girl.
Why wasn’t her “needed” medication in her carry-on or purse? Why didn’t she have a phone? If she’s non-verbal, why didn’t she have a companion traveling with her? Poor parenting.
She did have a companion clearly you've never purchased an unaccompanied minor ticket the flight attendant watches them on the plane then they are supposed to be transported by company staff to the connecting flight but unaccompanied minors are supposed to fly nonstop which is what her parents got her so it's really the airline not the parents also depending on what her medication is exactly she may not be able to take it herself flight attendants do not administer medication and a 2-4 hour nonstop flight does not mean you need to have your medication on you especially if you only take it once a day
@@ImperfectChristianWoman correct, the mom was saying how the girl has been joking since her return but not saying much about the ordeal so clearly she can speak.
For the most part Atlanta's are pretty good people I felt like if someone recognized her she would get home safe I had her name memorize just in case I happen to see her
I just love people like you who go out their way to help those they don't even know 🥰 I am the same. Wishing for peace and many blessings to be upon you queen 🙏🏽👑💕
She literally has autism and airlines have an entire procedure for unaccompanied minors in addition it was a nonstop flight The airline was supposed to get her to her gate the exact same way they do every other person with a disability Don't victim blame this isn't her or her family's fault it's the airlines and they will probably get sued and hopefully that young lady will be set for the rest of her life
There's a difference between being not all there and being diagnosed with autism. This young lady was autistic and the parents made a decision she should be capable of taking a direct flight to her destination. Her parents.... who we will assume... are not autistic... never considered weather cancellations flight delays or rerouting as possible events Emma was not capable of making a decision on... at least without guidance or a phone. Because these events have been reported in the news all summer long.... about airport travel... one may start to assume their budget made them feel that it was worth the.... gamble.... on little autistic Emma.... their lovely girl and bubbly daughter who likes to sing and likes animals...
@@lettiegrant9447 her medication was in the bag that was left at the airport...n I agree with Wickedsin because I have an autistic daughter and any little thing can cause them to have a meltdown which is why she should NOT have been traveling alone
There's a procedure for minors flying alone. I've never had to pay for an escort for my small children when they flew alone to visit their grandmother out of state. A minor is taken to a special area of the Atlanta airport (all airports) where the assigned relative has to show ID before they can pick them up.
Why is a seventeen year old girl traveling or going anywhere without a phone the days. There are no public phones for help. They had enough influence to get the FBI involved. Happy she's safe
Thank God! They should consider not having her travel alone anymore. You cannot rely on flight attendants and airport staff in these times. It’s so different than 20 years ago.
I'm so happy! I was fearing the worse. No one knows why Zari was traveling solo, hopefully the parents don't make that mistake again. Thanks to the wonderful angel, that good Samaritan who rescued her! Still a little good left in this world.
You can see that her parents are elderly and may not know about airtags. She should have had a cellphone though for emergenciea. She must have propably traveled alone before and had no issues so her parents did not think of extra precautions. I don't where she is on the spectrum but she could have just been top scared to ask for directions in a crowded airport as most people with autism struggle with social interaction. The also struggle with change so the concept of a connecting flight woukd have totally confused her.
No mention of the guy that escorted her away from the airport instead of to the police...who does that?? I hope her experience wasn't worse than getting lost and finally found. That's hard enough. At least she's safe and sound now. 🙏
We need to be told more about what happened with the person she left the airport with. Police questioned him and let him go. What did he tell the police?
Everyone needs to realize at a certain age, it used to be 12, kids can fly alone. Between 13-17 I flew all over the US. Once I had my own State ID at 14 I didn't need an adult to check me in even. After 12 I never needed an unaccompanied minor ticket.
This case was different though. I assume you neither are autistic nor need mental health medication. Also, she was booked onto a flight originally intended to be non-stop from point A to point B. Instead, they rerouted her flight to point C for a transfer at one of the busiest airline hubs in the country. You probably have enough maturity to seek guidance or follow the airport terminal signage to make such a transfer successfully but an autistic teen doesn’t have your skills necessarily to figure that out. She probably left the airport thinking she had arrived at her intended destination city.

Honestly, that is a very large airport and it can be quite confusing I'm so glad she is safe and back with loved ones ❤
It really is. I travel that airport just about monthly...I'll be flying out on 23.

Why were these parents allowing their kid to travel alone?
She isn't the first child that has travel alone
