Details About The Boy Who Sneaked Into Airplane

That 9-year-old Minnesota kid who slipped through security and hopped a flight to Las Vegas is no stranger to child protection investigators, who say he has a history of sneaking into a water park and was recently arrested after allegedly stealing a car, according to an e-mail obtained by the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

And it turns out that his mother works at the airport where he began his journey, the newspaper said.

The newspaper reported that Janine Moore, area director of the Hennepin County Human Services and Public Health Department, wrote in an e-mail to agency administrators and County Board members of the boy’s “pattern of behavior,” which has included hanging out at a Bloomington, Minnesota, water park and blending in with a large family to slip through without paying.

She describes him as a “challenging” child, according to the Star Tribune.

The newspaper reported that Moore said the boy’s mother works at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and that “there is also an investigation into whether she aided him flying to Las Vegas.” The newspaper did not report who was conducting that investigation.
