In a lawsuit filed last month, American Airlines is being accused of losing two unaccompanied minors at an airport during a layover in July 2022.
A Florida mother is claiming in a lawsuit against American Airlines that the airline lost her two children during an unaccompanied trip and left them in a freezing room like a " jail cell " overnight. Amber Vencill told ABC’s " Good Morning America " on Wednesday that she had paid American Airlines $150 for its unaccompanied minor service so that her two children, ages 12 and 10, could travel from Missouri to Syracuse , New York , in July 2022.
In the lawsuit, Vencill claims that her children spent the night at the airport in a "cold room akin to a jail cell" and were not given anything to eat or drink. The suit also alleges that the airline failed to answer her phone calls about the situation once she learned that the children’s flight had been canceled. The children were eventually helped by an airport employee, who was not affiliated with American Airlines, before their flight, the complaint said.
