Parents of a young toddler allowed the child defecate on the floor of an airliner about to take off from an airport in eastern China, according to a newspaper report.
The mother of the child said the toilets were too small for her, the child and another relative to get inside, the Shanghai Morning Post reported.
A passenger on the Shenzhen Airlines flight from Nanjing to Guangzhou on Sunday said two lavatories on the aircraft were vacant at the time, according to the report.
A flight attendant found the child at the back of the cabin before the plane took off, the report said.
The mother was heard telling the child there was no need to hurry going to the toilet, according to the article.
No details were given of the child’s age or sex.
