Overview

• Crampton, 46, was traveling on Allegiant Airlines Flight 2885 from Orlando Sanford to Hagerstown when she attacked an unnamed boy after he called her “fat” and “Miss Piggy.”
• Witness statements describe her punching the child, striking him with a water bottle and slamming his head into the airplane window as he attempted to defend himself.
• Crampton told police that she confiscated the boy’s phone to curb his “rude” and “disrespectful” behavior before the assault escalated.
• The pilot intervened and summoned airport police, who detained Crampton at the gate and later charged her with felony child abuse.
• The relationship between Crampton and the boy remains unclear as the family declined to comment to authorities.
