They find out they have to pay 25 euros to fly their son and decide to abandon him at the airport
They didn't think they would have to pay anything in order to board him regularly

In the United States, children under the age of two do not need any seats in the plane and Can fly for free on domestic flights. The music changes when you move from the United States to other parts of the world. In fact, for international travel, you usually pay for the child's transportation and the rates vary as appropriate.
Apparently, a couple - holding Belgian passports - who arrived at the Tel Aviv airport were unaware of this "practice". On Tuesday, the two had arrived at the Israeli airport to take Ryaianr flight 4710 bound for Brussels-Charleroi. Also with them was their infant son, but the two had not paid the 25-euro fee stipulated by the airline specifically for the infants in the womb.
Some local news accounts report that the parents allegedly refused to pay the fee. According to other reconstructions, however, the Ryanair check-in was closed, which would not have allowed the two to pay. In any case, the two decided to leave the child at the ticket counter and went to the security checkpoint to reach the departure gate. At this point the company alerted the local police. The parents were then tracked down and questioned. Only at this point was the child returned to his family.
Certainly the unexpected expense took the two parents by surprise, but the gesture (abandonment) still remains incomprehensible. Even if-as remains to be hoped-the parents had left it there only to go through security in search of someone to whom they could pay the fee to (regularly) board the child.
