Abcde Redford, age 5, makes fun of the Southwest California agent online

A Southwest Airlines home agent is accused of being awful in front of a 5-year-old girl and on social media because of her unique name.

The girl's mother said that the agent had made fun of that name and had even posted a photo of her boarding card on social media so that others could participate.

Abcde Redford, five years old, pronounces her name "ab-city".

"The door officer started laughing, showing my daughter and me, talking to other employees, so I turned around and said," Hey, If I can not hear, my daughter can hear, then I would appreciate stopping, "says Redford.

Redford and his daughter were flying home to El Paso, Texas, a few weeks ago, from John Wayne Airport in Orange County.

Abcde lives with epilepsy, so the Redfords are still pre-boarding.

"While I was sitting there, she took a picture of my boarding card and chose to post it on social networks, mocking my daughter. was brought to my attention by someone who had seen it on Facebook and reported it to Southwest Airlines.And after two weeks of official complaint, Southwest did nothing, "said Redford. .

"She said" Mom, why does she make fun of my name? "And I said:" Everyone is not nice and all the rest of the time. world is not going to be nice and it's unfortunate. "
