Stranger's Reaction to A Crying Baby on Plane Goes Viral
August 09, 2017
Waiting For Compassion To Kick In
According to Kesha, as they sat idle on the packed flight, the mother's baby started crying. Immediately passengers started huffing and puffing. And as the mom desperately tried to soothe her baby, things got worse. Her toddler began having a meltdown over her seatbelt.

Kesha says the stranger even grabbed the toddler's leg. All the while, passengers are making rude remarks to the mom. Kesha reports how one woman even went so far as the put both hands over her ears while making nasty faces."I sat here for 15 mins [sic] waiting on someone closer to this woman to offer her help...because im [sic] surrounded by caring adults, right? (Wrong) I turn around to see people mumbling and staring at this mother with her THREE kids ALONE....A screaming toddler / crying baby/ and a very well behaved older child," Kesha wrote on Facebook.Much to Kesha's disappointment, no one seemed willing to cut this poor mom with crying kids any slack. No one, but her.
Help For A Mom With Crying Kids
Kesha decided to be a "decent human being." She got up out of her seat, and offered to help the struggling mom, who gladly accepted. Not only did Kesha's compassion save the poor woman. But Kesha got the added bonus of snuggling with the mom's sweet baby, who quickly fell asleep almost as soon as Kesha held her."My point???? Be nice and considerate. If someone needs help for God's sake HELP THEM," she writes. Kesha goes on to say, "You're telling me Im the only ONE out of a full plane that was willing to help???? How we can ignore a human in distress beyond me. Please be kind. Please be considerate. Help one another...it makes everything easier."[rsnippet id="2" name="ArticleAd-300x250-3"] We all have those moments and days where no matter how hard we try, things just don't go right. So, when we see someone in one of those moments, let's offer grace instead of judgment. In all the grumbling and complaining from other passengers, things only got worse. But the minute Kesha showed compassion, that poor mom knew she wasn't alone. "There is one who speaks rashly like the piercing of a sword, but the tongue of the wise heals."
