I would have had no problem on this flight. Sleep mask, noise cancelling headphones with 3hr mix on repeat, and neck ring. I wouldn't hear or even see him for more than a few seconds. I've taken flights with screaming children and woken up landing with a cabin full of people who have been driven insane. If you get on a plane unprepared for demon children, the fault is all yours because more often than not, there are screamin children whose parents just let run amok. Have to give that kid credit for being demon child for 8 solid hours and the mother who had to look everyone's sour face getting off the plane.
Before the flight takes off, the child’s mum can be heard desperately asking the flight attendant to “get the WiFi going so we can get the iPad going”. But instead of settling down for the flight, the little boy begins his disruptive behaviour which was to torture the passengers on board for eight agonising hours. As well as using the seats as a climbing frame, he allegedly ran about the plane which was flying from Germany to Newark, New Jersey. The video was uploaded to YouTube by Shane Townley, who captioned it “demonic child screams and runs through an 8 hour flight”.
“Three years old on a 8 hour flight from Germany to Newark NJ. He never quits!” His video also captures the pained expressions of other passengers who struggle to block out the child’s behaviour by covering their ears.
After the plane has landed, one passenger can be heard moaning: “What a nightmare, oh my God – eight hours of screaming.”

I wish I lived in a world where one could put such a child in the overhead luggage bin and not get in trouble for it.

How does he not lose his voice? I love how the Daily Mail plugged "send us your vids for cash" with the screaming demon child as background sound. It was a horrible flight, but at least there was cash.

As an added bonus, the flight landed in Newark NJ. I have been to 50 airports at least around the world and have never seen anything like the shithole that is the airport in Newark, New Jersey. The people there made the clientele at the bar in Mos Eisley in Star Wars look like a church group.
New Jersey is home to some of the vilest creatures on the planet to begin with and that airport is home to a hive of wretched scum and villainy. 8 hours of demon child followed by touchdown in the asshole of the world is a lot to ask out of people.

"please get the wifi going so we can use this ipad rather than have to do any actual parenting."
i have kids too and i fly with them. long before their first flight they learned that this kind of behaviour isn't acceptable. sure some kids get grumpy when they're tired, but this kid going on for hours clearly isn't tired, his parents have just not even bothered to teach any boundaries. the "well if your kids are good then lucky you" is infantile, because it's not a coin-flip, you teach your kids to behave well and they do.

Perhaps this kid has something "special". Like autism or something.
(Old Spike)
yup. I'd bet on it. That scream is a "behavior" or a "tick". because of the gibberish and low tone of it, you can tell it's not an upset scream. my money is on him being autistic and the parents are extremely numb to it, not realizing how much of a shock that repeated behavior is to the rest of the plane.

In ancient times children that wouldn't shut up attracted predators to solve the problem.

had a 7 hour flight to thailand where a 4 year old was acting up. now i had my good headphones on ( i had the adaptor and usd amp/noise cancel) so i ignored him for the first 3 or so hours while drinking a lot of rum and watching a movie.
mother fucker poured a drink on me through the seats and it was game on. liquored up i happly proceeded to abuse the shit out of the parents.
kid was quiet after that, seriously i think they held their hand over his mouth.
