My link below has different perspectives as there is training going on for this.. We have no idea what trained the staff so we don't know how good their training was.

Now we did not see the way the dad was holding his son, but when I read a report that says someone has their hand near a child's genitals, that is exactly what I think. A hand on the inside of the thigh or anus area. That is never ok no matter if the person is male or female. That is "grooming" behavior. The only person saying lap was the person that had the police called on them. You want to defend someone you don't know though, go right ahead. I'm just saying the staff that saw this is the only ones that know the truth.

Airline Ambassadors

It's that kind of intuition that former flight attendant Nancy Rivard, founder of Airline Ambassadors, is trying to instill in airline staff across the nation as she trains them on how to spot the signs of human

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 2,000 human traffickers and identified 400 victims last year. Since 2009 Airline Ambassadors has been working to make sure that when a trafficker flies with a victim, the flight crew is trained to spot and report them.

Last week Rivard and several of her colleagues flew to Houston to meet with approximately 100 flight attendants who volunteered for the Airline Ambassadors training session on how to recognize human trafficking.
