Air passenger who yelled 'Shut that child up!' is shamed by the girl's mother on Facebook after her disabled eight-year-old daughter ends up in hospital following meltdown on holiday flight

The mother of an eight-year-old disabled girl has shamed a fellow air passenger on Facebook for yelling 'shut that child up!' after her daughter had 'a meltdown'.

Nicola Colenso criticised the 'abusive' woman, who she said made her distressed daughter Yasmin even more anxious on a Jet2 flight from Ibiza to Manchester.

The woman, who was in her mid-20s, then allegedly called Ms Colenso's partner Rick Murray a 'p****' for not keeping his daughter quiet.

He and Ms Colenso were trying to calm the schoolgirl down and reassure her when the row broke out. The woman is said to have complained that her 'beauty sleep' had been interrupted.

Yasmin, who suffers from Sturge-Weber syndrome - a rare condition affecting the skin, brain and eyes - later had to be taken to hospital, her mother said.

In a Facebook post, backed by thousands of people, Ms Colenso, from Northwich, Cheshire, said she tried to explain Yasmin's situation to the woman 'very politely'.

She then suggested the woman ask staff if she could be moved.

The woman allegedly replied that she was 'sick of the noise' and demanded Ms Colenso and her partner 'just shut her up'.

In the post, Ms Colenso told the woman: 'You continued to be abusive and publicly called her daddy a 'p****' in front of her and her other three siblings.

'Your behaviour and outburst was not helpful whatsoever in helping to calm down our daughter's anxiety.

'I hope social media helps find you to let you know that same little eight-year-old girl ended up being taken to hospital by ambulance that evening as she became seriously unwell.
