Narrative:
On landing and after gate arrival, I was informed by the purser that a young child, unaccompanied, was a problem for the crew and would not come out from under his seat. Passenger (boy X), I was advised, is the son of an employee. The boy, age 3 yrs old, was traveling with 2 other children. Little boy X should not have been left alone.
