  Was the baby named Moses?
context: A spokesman for Israel Police told CNN in a phone call that the matter appeared to have been resolved by the time police arrived on the scene. He said: “The baby was with the parents and there’s no further investigation.”
  
  Uh...Okay... >
  
  I’m sure it was a misunderstanding. 
  
  The couple left the infant seat with the baby and ran toward the security checks at Terminal 1 in an attempt to reach the boarding gate
  
  Oh, okay, well, um…
  Edit: person replied to me with a very reasonable suggestion as to what might have happened. (Exhausted and in a hurry, neither realized the other one didn’t have the baby)
  It’s quite possible this is right, I’ll give ‘em that. >
  
  Both probably thought the other had the baby... Or in their sleep deprived state forgot they had a baby.
  The whole unticketed thing doesn't make much sense to me. For a baby who sits in your lap you usually don't need to pay for a ticket. Maybe Ryanair is different. >
  
  You're required to have a ticket for an infant for international travel typically. Even if they're not taking a seat there's taxes and things that need to be factored in.
  Now that said, even domestically a lap infant needs to be documented in the reservation. >
  
  One time my baby got a 10kg bag allowance.  That was tight >
  
  I bet. I dunno how you got the zipper shut with a baby in there. >
  
  Well, the baby didn't have a ticket, so what are ya gunna do? >
  
  Overhead luggage? >
  
  NO! Clearly not overhead. If that were the case, they would've taken the baby with them through security. They left the baby at the counter, so clearly they thought the baby would be put with the checked luggage. >
  
  Can’t you put like baby’s under your seat until you reach the cruising altitude >
  
  Not if they run on a lithium ion battery I don't think. >
  
  What if you take your babies batteries out >
  
  "Did you grab the baby?" 
  "I thought you had the baby!" >
  
  This is the most likely scenario, >
  
  How? The absence of a carseat with a baby in it is kind of noticeable. Not to mention IT'S A FREAKIN BABY. >
  
  Sleep deprivation usually >
  
  So now airport employees raise the stateless child who can never leave the airport where they learn the value of love and teach weary travelers valuable lessons about the true importance of life. >
  
  Coming this summer...ROB SCHNEIDER IS...Airport Baby. >
  
  Maga Baby >
  
  I wonder if it was actually their baby?  Like what if they just swiped some baby and tried to flee the country?
  Also, don't babies fly free?! >
  
  
  “A couple and an infant with Belgian passports arrived for a flight at Terminal 1 without a ticket for the baby. The couple also arrived late for the flight, once the check-in for the flight was closed. The couple left the infant seat with the baby and ran toward the security checks at Terminal 1 in an attempt to reach the boarding gate for the flight.”
  
  Definitely an abduction. >

  That's what I thought at first, but it seems the Israeli police said otherwise
  
  A spokesman for Israel Police told CNN in a phone call that the matter appeared to have been resolved by the time police arrived on the scene. He said: "The baby was with the parents and there's no further investigation."
  
  So, no abduction, but the "no further investigation" part is just BS. The police should charge the parents with negligence and endangering an infant. >
  
  What it means is they were either well-off or connected. Once police knew who they were, the investigation stopped cold. >
  
  
  A couple abandoned their baby at an airport check-in desk in Tel Aviv, Israel after arriving without a ticket for the child.
  The pair, who have not been identified, were checking in for a Ryanair flight from Ben Gurion International Airport to Brussels, Belgium on Tuesday with the infant.
  It emerged that the baby did not have a ticket, and the couple headed off to board the flight -- leaving their child behind on the airline check-in counter.
  The matter was referred to police, a spokeswoman for Ryanair told CNN in an email.
  She said: "These passengers traveling from Tel Aviv to Brussels (31 Jan) presented at check-in without a booking for their infant. They then proceeded to security leaving the infant behind at check-in.
  "The check-in agent at Ben Gurion Airport contacted Airport Security, who retrieved these passengers, and this is now a matter for local police."
  
  Horrible parents.
  Edit: Adding comment by Israeli Police.

  The only thing I can think of, is the parents have convinced the police that they weren’t actually leaving without it and were just playing a particularly stupid game of chicken with check-in. ‘Fine, we’ll just leave it with you then’ etc.
  Which is still…bad? Pretty prime ‘should be assessed to parent’ levels of crap. >
  
  Hardcore bluff. >
  
  You have to respect it almost >
  
  What do you mean “almost”? >
  
  “No ticket.” - Silent Bob >
  
  “No ticket” - Indiana Jones >
  
  Sounds like things got too spicy for the pepper. >
  
  Kids name was Kevin... and he protected his house from robbers? >
  
  I’m glad the headline mentioned the baby didn’t have a ticket >
  
  Maybe that little prick should have bought his own ticket >
  
  I mean, if the baby had a ticket and they ditched him, that would be a completely different story.
