Traci Redford, a mom from Texas, was at California’s John Wayne Airport with her five-year-old daughter. Whilst there, a Southwest Airlines employee working on the gate apparently started “pointing and laughing” at the youngster, as her name is Abcde. Redford says it’s pronounced “ab-city”.
Abcde suffers from epilepsy, and so her and her mother were boarding early to avoid the crowd.
As per Yahoo, Ms Redford told ABC7: “The gate agent started laughing, pointing at me and my daughter, talking to other employees. So I turned around and said, ‘Hey if I can hear you, my daughter can hear you, so I’d appreciate if you’d just stop’.”

Redford then claims the employee took a photo of her daughter’s passport and uploaded it to social media. The mom was notified when someone else she knew saw it.
Southwest Airlines have offered a “sincere apology” in a statement, but Traci Redford remains rightly peeved.
No child should be teased for their name, let alone by an adult.
