0:40Now PlayingA Florida mom has accused American Airlines of losing her two young kids when they were traveling alone and their flight to upstate New York was canceled — claiming in a lawsuit that they were left in a jail-like holding room overnight without food or water.
Amber Vencill alleges in a civil lawsuit that her 10- and 12-year-old sons – referred to in court papers only as RV and JV — were left without food, water, blankets or pillows on July 30, 2022, while they used the airline’s unaccompanied minor service.
The boys had been scheduled to fly from Missouri to upstate New York, where Vencill’s partner planned to pick them up after a layover in Charlotte, North Carolina, according to the lawsuit filed Oct. 31 and obtained by The Post.
But the flight was delayed and later canceled, forcing the company to call the mom’s partner, identified as Ted, and tell him the children would be placed in a “nice room for unaccompanied minors where there were beds and their own bathroom,” the suit states.
“Ted was also provided with a telephone number that was supposed to be a direct line to where the children would be,” according to the document.
