A heartwarming video has gone viral on social media, showing a flight attendant of a foreign airline spoon-feeding a child onboard. However, the internet is divided on this act.
While on duty, a Singapore Airlines flight attendant went the extra mile to display kindness.
The widely circulated video shows the attendant kneeling next to the aisle seat of a minor boy and spoon-feeding him with patience and grace.
The incident occurred on a commercial flight where the child faced difficulties with the in-flight meal.
A fellow passenger captured the attendant’s act of kindness and the visuals went viral on social media, prompting mixed reactions.
The Instagram user who shared the video captioned it, “What would you do if this happened to you? We’re having the greatest flight ever and this just made it even more perfect.”
The video has drawn divided reactions from onlookers.
While the flight attendant has garnered praise for her notable act by internet users, many have criticized her for going beyond her call of duty by spoon-feeding a 5-year-old passenger.
Supporters argued that the flight attendant’s action should be noted and celebrated as exceptional customer service, while other internet users insisted that such care is uncalled-for. A child can feed themselves, one of them commented on a social media post.
In support of the act, an Instagram user commented on the video saying, “That is adorable though. Let the little man enjoy!”
However, criticizing the flight attendant for going the extra mile, one Instagram user said, “That child is old enough to feed himself.” Another condemned the act saying, “I’d tell my kid he’s embarrassing himself and her.”
