The young boy had started sobbing while he on a flight between Brasilia and Cuiaba in Brazil. Despite best efforts by his family, the kid remained inconsolable, prompting a female flight attendant to come over and console the child.

The video was first shared on the Instagram page of Good News Movement on Friday, 4 March. The clip shows the caring and loving nature of the crew member of that flight. The video’s caption described how the attendant soothed the child.
