A 9-year-old Minneapolis boy was able to get through security and onto a plane at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport without a ticket, an airport spokesman said Sunday.
機場發言人在上周日10月6號稱，一名未持機票的9歲男孩在明尼阿波利斯市的保羅國際機場逃過安檢登上了飛機。
Security officials screened the boy at airport shortly after 10:30 a.m. Thursday, Metropolitan Airports Commission spokesman Patrick Hogan said. The boy then boarded Delta Flight 1651, which left for Las Vegas at 11:15 a.m.
大都會機場委員會發言人帕特里克·霍根稱，安檢官員在周四上午10點半左右就通過監控錄像發現了男孩，接著這名男孩登上了11點15分開往拉斯維加斯的三角洲1651航班。
The flight was not full, Hogan said, and the flight crew became suspicious mid-flight because the boy was not on their list of unattended minors. The crew contacted Las Vegas police, who met them upon landing and transferred the boy to child protection services, Hogan said.
霍根說，當時機上還有空位，機組人員很快就對這個不在無人看管未成年人的名單上的男孩產生了懷疑。機組人員聯系了拉斯維加斯警方，后者在飛機著陸后就將男孩送到局里看管起來了。
Minneapolis Police went to his residence. Parents told officers they “hadn’t seen much of him today.”
明尼阿波利斯市警方去男孩家調查。父母對警方稱他們“今天沒怎么看到孩子。”
“The child was screened along with all other passengers to ensure that he was not a threat to the aircraft,” said the TSA spokesperson.
一名運輸安全管理局的發言人稱，“我們給這個孩子以及其他乘客都進行了身份掃描，以確保他不會對飛機構成威脅。”
They added that video of the boy at the checkpoint has been reviewed, and they are “investigating whether we should reconfigure barriers to prevent another incident like this one.”
該局發言人同時稱，他們已經反復查看過了男孩通過驗票口時候的機場錄像，并且該局“正在研究是否應該應該重新設置檢票口的隔欄，以防止出現類似事故。”
Video also shows the boy at the airport Wednesday, Hogan said. He grabbed a bag from the carousel and ordered lunch at a restaurant outside of the security checkpoints, Hogan said. He ate and then told the server he had to use the bathroom, left the bag and never returned to pay.
霍根稱，機場攝像頭還拍攝到了男孩于周四現身機場的錄像，當時他從行李旋轉帶上取走了一個拎包，還在檢票口外面的餐廳里點了一份午餐。
The owner of the bag was identified, and the bag was returned to him, Hogan said. Nothing was stolen.
霍根稱，被孩子拿走的拎包已經找到了失主并原物奉還，失主并沒有丟東西。
The boy became "violent" and was hospitalized in Las Vegas, where hospital staff reported he was "uncontrollable" at first but eventually calmed down, it said.
男孩被發現后反應相當“劇烈”，人們將他送到了拉斯維加斯的醫院。醫護人員反應男孩入院時“難以控制”，但后來最終冷靜下來了。
A hearing in Las Vegas about the boy's case was scheduled for Tuesday.
拉斯維加斯在本周二舉行了關于男孩的聽證會。
The boy has been suspended several times at school, most recently since Sept. 21 for fighting, the father said. “He’s not an honor student; he has his ups, he has his downs,” he said, adding he met with the principal and “we put in a plan,” but the son’s misbehavior continued.
據男孩的父親說，這個9歲的孩子曾經多次被學校停學，最近的一次是在9月21日因為打架被學習停學。“他并不是一個三好學生；他有自己的優點，也有自己的缺點。”
the boy is known to county staff as a “challenging” child. Since December 2012, the county has four times assessed the boy’s family for protective services.
社區官員稱這個孩子一直是一個“具有挑戰性”的孩子。自2012年12月以來，社區已經有四次就兒童保護性問題走訪過這家人。
The boy also has a history of riding light-rail trains to a Bloomington water park, where he “waits until a large family is entering and joins them”. Of county interactions with the child, it said, “Typically, staff can tell if a child is lying, but with this child, they are unsure what is going on.”
這個男孩還曾經乘坐輕軌列車到布盧明頓的水上公園去玩過，他在車站“等著一大家子人檢票如站，然后和他們站在一起。”據社區官員說，他們在與男孩交流的時候，“官員們能明顯的感覺到這孩子在說謊，但是他畢竟還是個孩子，他們無從得知他到底干了些什么。”
Now, after the boy’s most dramatic wayward act, his father desperately pleaded for help for the son he hasn’t been able to speak to since last week.
在男孩戲劇性的出格事件之后，他的父親已經一周未能和男孩通話了。現在他正迫切的呼吁社會幫助。
“He’s a 9-year-old child,” he said. “I don’t want to see my son hurt.”The father said the plane episode has been “a heartache” for the family. “We didn’t know he’d got on a plane until my fiancée called the police … it came back that he was in Las Vegas,” he said.
男孩的父親說，“他只是個九歲的孩子。我不想看到自己的孩子受傷。” 據他稱，機場時間已經成了全家人的“心頭大患”。“我們根本不知道他去了機場。后來我的未婚妻報了警，才知道他在拉斯維加斯。”
