A single mother flying Southwest Airlines said she's 'embarrassed and traumatized' after airport police said a pilot raised questions about her possibly trafficking her 4-year-old son. “My heart was going crazy and I was shaking,” Bridgetta Tomarchio of Palm Beach County, Florida, tells TODAY.com. “I tried to be cordial and do whatever they needed. I was thinking, ‘Oh my god, are they going to take my son?’” Tomarchio first told her story on Instagram.
I don’t know what he might have saw. He just wanted to double check on it.” An airline spokesperson tells TODAY.com that no Southwest pilot on Tomarchio's flight — or any on-duty Southwest pilots — were involved in the incident. 'After reviewing the situation, it appears the outreach to local authorities did not come from Southwest Airlines,' a different Southwest spokesperson tells TODAY.com.
