  This is the most likely scenario,
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!"
