Parents accused of leaving 10-year-old behind at airport to catch flight
Parents of a 10-year-old child are accused of leaving their son behind at the airport so they could catch a flight. According to Spain's national police, Guardia Civil, the incident took place on Aug. 1 at Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport. Guardia Civil's Catalonia office told USA TODAY the boy wasn't able to board the flight because of issues with his documentation, so his parents decided to leave him unaccompanied while they boarded with their younger child. At first, airport staff alerted Catalonia police, Mossos d'Esquadra, because the incident happened in a public area of the airport, where they have jurisdiction. They, in turn, alerted Guardia Civil, which has jurisdiction over restricted parts of the airport. Guardia Civil temporarily stopped the flight, found the family members on the plane and escorted them to a Mossos d'Esquadra station. USA TODAY has reached out to Catalonia police for additional details. This incident first caught global attention after an apparent airport worker recounted what happened on TikTok.

The now-deleted clip, originally posted to TikTok by Harris County Precinct 5 deputy Jennifer Escalera, shows the uniformed officer writing in a notepad beneath a suggestive caption: 'Didn't get cracked last night so everyone is getting a ticket…' In popular slang, 'cracked' is often interpreted to mean having sex, a detail that didn't go unnoticed by social media users or department officials.

'It's very unprofessional,' one Precinct 5 resident told Fox 26. 'You shouldn't be doing things like that. When you're a professional, you carry yourself a certain way.' Another local, Alex Fitch, echoed the sentiment: 'It makes them look unprofessional when they start posting videos like that. You can't take them seriously… Then they wonder why people don't respect them.'
