the mother states that the unit kept falling so maybe she should have asked for assistance first of all. the airline should have ensured that these units were attached strongly before every flight so that this situation would not have been possible. Poor kid! i would have expected qantas to have higher standards and to care about their passengers safety

Awful thing to happen – in older times there wouldn’t have been a TV to cause the problem. I can understand the parents being unhappy, but a $200,000 lawsuit means all fares will increase forthwith.

Just because his physical condition was good enough to survive the flight relatively unscathed doesn’t mean a two year old is emotionally able to get through that pain for that long. And just with panadol! I can’t imagine what the family went through.

Maybe health services in Aust. are superior to those in Manila. The fact that the toddler’s condition was stable that may been another reason for the decision. They were extremely fortunate there was a Surgeon on board. The Captain also consulted with Medlink.
The toddler is likely to suffer some trauma as he re-learns to do things differently with part of a finger missing

The poor little boy,hope he is okay and yes l would sue as well.

poor little mite, hope they all recovery fast, so scary!

I’m glad they had a doctor on board and they did get medical advice about what to do. I hope this little boy has no lasting trauma from this experience.
