Gotta love Bill Maher putting this whole russian kid sent back home thing into perspective

That woman is a role model. I had no clue that kid was so bad. He sounds like a real demon according to Bill. LOL

1. I understand and agree to a degree but he was way too young to

just put on a plane and fly by himself! She obviously had to go through some agency or organization to adopt him and she at the very least should have contacted them and explained why she can't keep him. I understand there are several avenues she could have pursued but if she didn't know about them then they weren't available to her at the time. I can't even imagine what airline would have even let him on that plane alone! That's a VERY LONG flight and no matter how bad or uncontrollable he was, her actions were just wrong.

3. kid

Gee whizz! what happened to him when he arrived in Russia. Was anyone waiting for him? The woman should be indicted and jailed...

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

4. The adoptive mother hired a tour guide to pick him up at the airport. The tour guide

then deliered the child to a Russian agency.

2. I really doubt that that

little boy just walked onto the airplane by himself. He would have had to be taken to the entrance and turned over to a stewardess. The airline would not have let him enter the plane without being turned over to someone from the airlines by his parent. If that was possible, then someone should also investigate the airline that would allow that.

We had to send our six year old son to his grandparents by plane once, and a stewardess met us, put an airline pin on him, and escorted him onto the plane and to his seat. She checked on him a lot and then she escorted him off of the plane and stayed with him until they were sure that the woman who was there to pick him up was indeed his grandmother. So I'm not buying that he was just sent packing to the airplane on his own.

5. exactly. that's what I read

He was never alone. He had airline staff attending him and they had paid somebody to pick him up and deliver him at the other end.
