Thank you for shedding light on this issue. After I read the original post I sat next to an unaccompanied 5-year-old on a long flight. In addition to feeding him, giving him my iPad, and letting him fall asleep on me, I stuck with him for the 1.5 hours after we landed until he was picked up. I hope I would have done the same if I hadn't read your blog, but I can't be sure. I had always assumed that the Unaccompanied Minors program was surefire. juliekinn.wordpress.com
