On August 24, a one-year-old girl travelling with her grandparents on a flight from Guizhou in southwest China to Shanghai persistently cried on the journey, according to Shangyou News.
A female passenger seated near the girl said on social media that many passengers tried to block out the noise by putting tissues in their ears. Some even moved to the rear of the aircraft.
She tried to calm the toddler by showing her entertainment videos, but unfortunately, that failed to pacify her.
Later, this woman and another female passenger took the girl into a plane toilet, locked the door, and disciplined her inside.
