What they imagined was a smooth ride, with books and food to enjoy on the plane, turned into an unpleasant flight. A mother had to “protect” her child’s eyes so that she wouldn’t see an “explicit sex scene” projected on an airplane seat screen.
LaKeisha Fleming was traveling with her 15-year-old son when she claimed the onboard entertainment screen in the row ahead of them was showing a sex scene. She was looking for some of her entertainment on screen to watch and was amazed at what she saw.
LaKeisha told the site insiders: “I saw a naked sex scene in full view. To be clear, this was not a passenger’s personal device. This scene was played on the back of the seat, with the airline providing the entertainment.”
“I was shocked. That shock turned to horror when I realized the scene was in full view of my son sitting right next to me.”
LaKeisha Fleming is a writer, author, and motivational speaker specializing in writing about mental health, miscarriage, and parenting issues. She had flown with her son to his national speaking contest. Faced with the striking image reproduced on the back of the front seat, she positioned her body like a screen in the gap between the two seats so that the teenager could not see.
After the sex scene ended, he asked the flight attendants for help, but was surprised by the response: They told them all they could do was offer to switch seats.
When the woman contacted the airline after the event, they gave her the same answer: change seats if the problem recurs. She claims this “does nothing to address the content that’s available in the first place”.
The debate on social media
After becoming known on social media, the story divided opinion and many felt that the teenager was too old to justify the mother’s reaction.
One person commented, “He appears to be fine. Someone was watching a movie provided by the airline and the young man wanted to see what other people in line in front of him were watching which his mother didn’t like.”
Another said: ‘I originally thought your child would be five, but at 15, he saw it. And there’s also a major harm in being overly protective of your children and treating sex as if it’s shameful.’ “.
Another person questioned the mother’s attitude: ‘Covering his eyes and making a fuss was definitely more damaging than someone in front of him watching. He’s also old enough to mind his own business, something the mother should be about. to work”.
A third suggested, “Why didn’t you swap seats with him? He was in the front row, a simple move wouldn’t have seen him.”
While someone else wrote, “I’m sure your child has seen a lot. Some parents live in denial.”
Others agreed with their mother. “Report, they should show family programming, sure there are small children on the plane.”
Another said, “To all the people making fun of this, how about we protect younger children from this behavior? I can’t believe passengers are so insensitive to others on a plane.”
A second noted, “Looks like you should be filing a complaint against the airline. Surely there are laws against exposing minors to sexually explicit material and the airline is providing that.”
The mother told the details in insiders: “When I emailed the airline’s executive office, I pointed out that at least one study has found a correlation between adolescent exposure to sexually explicit content and risky sexual behavior in emerging adults.”
