I saw this story on the news yesterday. Crazy! I hope your grandchildren are ok.
I do believe that the flight crew should have had the police meet the aircraft upon arrival and had the man questioned, other than that I don't know what more they could have done.
The fact is, it is a crazy world. It is unfortunate that your grandaughter sat next to a crazy person, but it could have happened anywhere, or on any airline. The flight attendant did move her, I don't know what else she could have done at that time.
Thousands of children fly alone on every airline every year with no problem. So to say that the airline as a whole is unsafe for children is a bit much.
It is an awful incident that should have been handled better.
