What a coincidence the lawsuit was filed exactly 1 day prior to 2 years from the supposed confrontation with the Cougar.
If the kid really did ask for another seat or to change seats and the flight attendants failed to try to reseat him, he might have a good claim.
What a douche! At 14 I would have jumped at the chance for any trim I could.
I hope is friends make fun of him all the time.

1. Why wasn't the lawsuit filed 2 years ago?
2. Why didn't they file charges against the Cougar with the drugs?

I'd love to know what exactly the $50k in damages are for.
Underwear for all the wedgies he got ;D
I just read this. This is a lot more serious than you guys are making it.
The 14yrold was flying unaccompanied probably due to a divorce situation.
wow, i mean my own children have to due this, and i would absolutely freak if the attendants let this happen to them.
THOUSANDS of children have to due this every year. Knowing that the airline attendants did not assist this kid is extremely upsetting. Making an example of this airline is probably a big part of the situation for the lawsuit. Airlines have special programs for kids in these situations, not sure he was on it as they are allowed to fly alone at 14 without the program. Even still, letting a child, which a 14 yr old still is, stay in that situation on the plane is totally irresponsible.

children fly a lot more alone then just because their parents are divorced.
It is the summer...........the boy might have been flying down to visit his Grandparents who have a house near the beach or possibly a relative?
That wasn't really the point of the posting.
The point was..............why the make the beast with two backs did the Dad wait just under TWO YEARS from the date of the incident to file a lawsuit against Southwest? Why wasn't it filed immediately after the incident as well as a police report with a criminal complaint against the Cougar?
I am not doubting something may or may not have happened, but why push the law suit so far out?
could have been for the boys sake, having to go through it at 14, instead now 16, he's more mature and able to handle the court appearance. could be his lawyer said they didnt have a case, and after consulting with another recently told he had one, for the same reason i would sue, and trust me i'm NOT litigious unless it has to do with my families safety (and motorcycles ;) )

I am not a litigious individual myself, but we are currently in the process of infancy phases of filing suit against a healthcare provider that violated HIPPA by giving out a copy of my wife's insurance card (our joint insurance) and a copy of her driver's license to an unauthorized individual. I don't think I need to type who obtained this. If you know much about HIPPA, that is some serious shit. That is OUR private information and most importantly, my wife's. I don't like my family being make the beast with two backsed with.
Isn't the statute of limitations usually 2 years on complaints like this? Convenient it just hit 2 years today..........
Maybe this is not the first lawsuit coming out of this case.
1) how old was this older female passenger?
2) it's southwest, if there's an available seat, just get up and move to it!
that said, if it was a full plane, and said female passenger was cute and handing out good drugs, i'm sure there was at least one guy on the flight that'd swap w/ the kiddo.
1- doesn't matter
2- still a 14yr old kid flying alone, he's respecting authority and sitting where he was told. too bad the authority wasn't looking out for him
Are there more "witnesses" to this? I understand the kid not wanting drugs but I can't remember ever being offended by sexual advances at 14.....if they happened at all.
DUCATIZ... please remove that picture. you're polluting my eyes.... i'm gonna sue!

Was it you?
You are about as tall as most 14 year olds or shorter (I am as tall as 16 yr olds if that makes you feel better)
I am throwing it out there.........flame me if you want folks.
Daddie needs money to put kid through college.
Your good friend statler may be a better source than myself on this
but
Personal injury (physical and emotional) cases involving children sometimes are pushed out until the child is no longer a minor
and
the standard 2 year statute of limitations is given an extension until the child is of age
depending on the age of consent in illinois this might be the answer to your query

well, seeing as how college cost way more than $50K, unless his dad is investing it reather aggressively, i don't think so.
14 y/o is what, 9th grade (it was for me)?
Plenty old enough to fly alone and not be worried about by the flight attendants IMO. I'm with Metallimonster.
Maybe he's leaving out a key part of the story to good ol' dad...he didn't ask to change seats...he asked to move to the restroom with his cougar! [beer] [laugh] His dad had to come and get him! [evil]
I'm tellin you man, I would have been all over it. My 14 year old brain would not have let me walk away from that one.
I think dad was mad that she was hotter than mom.
what if it was a nasty cougar and the boy was still unsure of himself.
personally i would ahve been very freaked out by someone my mom's age hitting on me at that age.
i grew up in a pentacostal family and despite the fact that we left that church by the time i was 10, at 32 i still havne't stopped thinking that way in a few areas.
as a devil's advocate type thing how about this.
maybe the boy was scared to say exactly why he wanted to change seats and the flight attendants were busy or didn't have a seat for him. had he been able to tell them what was going on away from the offending drug lady maybe he woud have been moved.
just another take on it is all...i do think that it is just as inappropriate for an adult female to hit on an underage boy as it is for an adult male to hit on a female that is that young.

All of the above would be state specific to Illinois.
If you remember, a 13yr old filed a suit against Michael Jackson in California in 1993; the first of his many.
But that goes back to my first point.........probably some statute of limitations or maybe in IL you have to be of a certain age.
Again..........convenient it is filed a day before the 2 year anniversary of the Cougar Attack.

Community College doesn't.
Maybe Daddy has some saved up, but just short of the rest.
Who knows. Who cares. It also doesn't specify how much the suit is for. It just said "over $50,000" in damages.
I just found it to be an odd time to file the lawsuit.

maybe if parents were more responsible they would supervise their kids when sending them on a plane across the coutnry, you expect others to watch your kid for you? sorry but that is irresponsible and selfish.
Its not the airline's job to take care of your kid even if you fly on a plane, the kid is under 18, its your job as a parent to supervise them, it may be hard but its not their job to do what is your job. this isn't like your kid is going to school where the JOB of the teacher is to watch over your children.

Knight you weren't in one of those Sand Mountain Alabama Serpent Handling parishes were you?
So I am trying to get us all more info on this one, so of course as a no brainer, I went to the Chicago Tribune's website.
I haven't found anything on this thread topic, but found this quite amusing:

Ok, that's all I got.
JJGeo,
here is a quote for you from the story:
"They failed to protect him. They allowed an individual to get intoxicated on that flight. That person was harassing my client sexually as well as trying to give him drugs. He was a very scared little boy."
Scared little boy??? come on.
Raux - My guess was correct.................he was flying down to Florida to visit relatives.

actually it is the job of the airlines to keep the passengers safe. and for some airlines you pay a premium for extra care for minors. that's up to 16 in many cases. so if airlines recognize that issue to inlcude 14,15,16 then it's not a little thing.
and as far as if i coudl MAKE my ex pick up the kids, I would, but it's her responsibility and call according the judge. I have no say in it. I would actually be violating the orders if I accompanied them, because it's more time than allowed.

I am finding this thread quite disturbing.I have had both of my daughters fly unaccompanied on aircraft before to visit family members and it is the job of the airline employees to keep all minors under the age of 18 safe. End of story. I had to provide positive proof of ID when I dropped the girls off and also the person the other end of the flight had to provide positive proof of ID before the girls were released into their custody. Horizon Air did a great job. Not all of us can take flights around the country to drop our kids of at an ex's home or an in-laws, so stop being so infantile and think about what you are writing before you embarrass yourselves.

i know that after that i wouldn't know what to do at that age. parents offer quite a bit of security when you are still trying to gain your own confidence in life. i might have been fearless in several aspects, but if some old lady was hitting on me and offering me drugs i would have been really freaked out. this kid might have been more sheltered than I was. I'm not judging him for that. I'm judging them for waiting 2 years to file.

My joke in the previous post aside I would have been a bit weirded out by that happening to me at 14 for sure.
That part isn't what gets me in the story. I just think the lawsuit is lame in general...and the kid being too afraid to fly home is lame. He was either
extremely sheltered, or there is something wrong with him which the article is failing to mention (very possible). A 14 year old should be able to move past an experience like this. All sorts of disturbing things happen in life...gotta deal with it. A normal HS 9th grader, or even an 8th grader, should be able to IMO.
I'm with ya on the 2 years as well.
I think the whole story is a bunch of bullshit to be perfectly honest.
We all know Southwest fly's 737's or similar planes with 3 and 3 seating.
If the plane was full........there was a third-party in the row.
Wouldn't that person have noticed this Cougar trying to drug and tug (no evidence to back this....just me being me) the other person in the row????
I sure as shit would have noticed
