DISRUPTIVE PAX DURING FLT.

Narrative

PAX WAS A 15 YR OLD; MENTALLY ILL CHILD; ESCORTED BY AN ADULT MALE. PAX WAS UNRULY AND DISRUPTIVE DURING THE ENTIRE FLT -- BUT TOLERABLE. ESCORT SLEPT MOST OF FLT AND DID NOT KEEP PAX UNDER CTL. UPON CAPT'S INSTRUCTION TO PREPARE FOR LNDG; I BUCKLED PAX'S SEATBELT AND PUT TRAY TABLE UPRIGHT AND TOLD HER WE WERE GOING TO LAND. SHE ALLOWED THIS WITHOUT RIGHTING ME. I PROCEEDED TO CHK THAT THE REST OF THE CABIN AND WHEN I WALKED BACK TO SIT IN MY JUMP SEAT; THE PAX HAD UNBUCKLED HER SEATBELT AND WAS RUNNING UP AND DOWN THE AISLE; FLAILING HER ARMS; SCREAMING OBSCENITIES. I WENT TO REACH FOR HER; BUT THE SPAT SALIVA ALL OVER INTO MY EYES; NOSE AND MOUTH. I TRIED TO REASON WITH HER; BUT SHE AGAIN SPAT IN MY FACE A SECOND TIME. I WAS IN SHOCK; BUT YELLED AT HER ESCORT; COMMANDING HIM TO KEEP PAX UNDER CTL. I RAN TO LAVATORY TO RINSE MY FACE. UPON LNDG; I WAS TAKEN TO MEDICAL FACILITY TO BEGIN BODILY FLUID PROTOCOL; INCLUDING HEPATITIS B VACCINE -- A SERIES TO BE CONDUCTED THE NEXT 6 MONTHS. I HAD INITIAL HIV BLOOD TEST AND WILL REQUIRE CONTINUING BLOOD TESTS FOR NEXT 12 MONTHS. AIRLINE ALLOWED PAX TO CONTINUE TRAVELING ON TO AUSTIN; MUCH TO MY HORROR AND DISMAY. NO AUTHS MET THE FLT TO ARREST PAX.
