Greater Noida (Staff Correspondent): An uproar broke out on an international flight of Qatar Airways when a little girl allegedly attacked a female passenger with a fork. The incident happened when the girl’s mother was asleep and somehow the fork (a cutlery item provided in flight) reached the girl. After the video went viral, a heated debate has erupted on social media regarding this matter. The video of the incident is going viral on social media in which it can be seen that the female passenger angrily complains, “She is hitting people with a fork here. She has just hit me with a fork.” After this statement of the woman, the flight crew came into action and tried to handle the situation.
While all this was happening, the girl’s mother was in deep sleep. In the video, flight attendants were seen trying to wake up the mother so that she could be informed about the incident. By the time the mother was picked up, the girl’s actions had upset many passengers.

Woman’s reaction and threat
The injured female passenger appeared quite agitated and even threatened to “beat up” the girl, waving her slippers. Her attitude divided social media users into two groups – some justified the woman’s reaction while others called it overly aggressive towards a child.
Sharp reaction on social media
Internet users’ reactions to the incident were mixed. One user wrote, “I think the real ones who deserve the slippers are the parents.” While another user said, “People should know how to control their children, otherwise there will be such consequences in public.”
On the other hand, some people criticized the woman’s reaction, saying that such a harsh reaction to a child was excessive and inappropriate. “Take the fork, end of the matter. A 200-pound woman is yelling at that girl, was it necessary?” – a user taunted.
The crew tried to calm the situation
The flight attendants handled the situation after the incident and tried their best to keep the children busy for the rest of the journey and keep the passengers calm. There has been no official statement yet about the safe landing of the flight, but it is clear that this incident has sparked a new debate about the monitoring of children and the responsibility of parents during international travel.
After this video went viral, the question has arisen whether the parents are fully responsible for the behaviour of children in public places? And do adults have the right to react aggressively to the carelessness of a child? At present, this video has become a matter of heated debate on the Internet, in which new definitions of discipline versus tolerance are being created.
