A 2-year-old boy walked away from his mother at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport while she attempted to print out her boarding pass at a kiosk. The mother told police she looked away from her son “for one second” and he disappeared, according to AP.
An airline employee told police the mother told him she believed that her son jumped on the bag conveyor belt, but he did not see or hear a child on the belt. He also told police that he did not see the boy go behind the ticket counter or climb on the belt.
Video footage released by the airport showed the boy walk through an unattended ticket counter and stand directly in front of a moving conveyor belt. The boy, wearing an orange shirt, climbs on to the belt and momentarily gets stuck before a black and yellow bag pushes him through to the other side of the wall.
Moments after he comes through a woman in a backpack can be seen running to the counter and a Spirit Airline employee stops the belt from moving.
Eventually the boy reached a Transportation Security Administration baggage area where TSA immediately noticed him come through on the belt and a man picks him up off the belt and to safety.
