People have always been tortured by crying babies. Why should we suffer because of them? I once went on a 10-hour flight from Frankfurt, Germany to Saint Louis Missouri. THE WHOLE TIME I WAS DEALING WITH CRYING BABIES. I COULD NOT EVEN SLEEP BECAUSE OF ALL THEIR USELESS NOISE. I mean come on, why are you travelling abroad if you have a newborn child. By signing this petition, you are declaring that all babies/toddlers under the age of 5 should not be permitted on airplane rides. You are helping everyone on the plane.
