When you really think about it, it is kind of weird to be able to take a kid on a plane with no proof of who they are and that I’m not kidnapping them.

Yeah I’m honestly shook. I thought I would have to at least bring their birth certificate. So basically someone can kidnap a kid and just freely travel with them??

I mean I guess if it was a problem, stricter rules would be in place? Kidnappings are usually done by family members and I bet the rest of the family knows immediately who did it if it happens. Doesn’t seem too difficult to track people down anymore with Amber alerts and all that. I feel like they’d immediately put out an alert to airlines, car rental places, etc and if the suspected kidnapper tried to book travel or check in at the airport, it would send up a red flag. Why did I just put so much thought into this??
