<p>However, one unfortunate man met with humiliation and abuse at the hands of United Airlines employees.</p>
<p>One can only imagine the pain Louis Zaharias, whose children have been missing for decades, suffered because of the <a href="https://www.nehoralaw.com/united-airlines-humiliates-and-abuses-its-elderly-passenger/">United Airlines abuse</a>.</p>
<p>Apparently, matters got so bad that the poor man was on the floor, crawling to get away from the situation. He also suffered serious injuries such as brain injury.</p>

<h2>What Exactly Happened?</h2>
<p>Louis Zaharias was at the John Wayne Airport (Orange County, CA) after a five-hour flight from visiting an aunt of his. The 92-year-old woman, Aunt Lil, was ill and he gave her a visit and returned home.</p>
<p>At the airport, he learned that his baggage, which included sentimental gifts, had been lost by the airline.</p>
<p>Louis approached the airline’s baggage claim office and there the staff refused to give him a baggage claim form. They demanded an inventory of his possessions and separated him into a corner of the airport.</p>
<p>Shockingly, the United Airlines staff told him that he would not be able to leave the small area if he didn’t give up his right to claim the baggage they lost.</p>

</div>

<p>The elderly man struggled to complete his baggage claim form, and during the process struck his head on a disguised plexiglass shelf. It was attached to the wall but it’s not quite clear how he struck his head.</p>
<p>Louis had fallen to the ground, which resulted in traumatic brain injury, orthopedic injuries, and a concussion.</p>
<p>Instead of helping the injured, older man, employees simply looked on him, watching his struggle.</p>
<p>He could not stand up and was forced to crawl towards the baggage claim across the airport’s floor. Looking for help, Louis was on his hands and knees.</p>

</div>

<p>The concussion, along with disorientation and pain, caused him to lose control of his bladder and throw up on the floor.</p>
<p>Still, none of the employees moved a finger to help the man. In fact, they stood around laughing and making jokes about Louis.</p>
<p>The mean-spirited employees were unaware of the fact that a security camera was capturing their abuse towards a customer of the airline.</p>
<h2>From Bad to Worse</h2>
<p>As if this maltreatment was not enough, the employees contacted California police to help get rid of Louis.</p>

</div>

<p>Despite being a paying customer, Louis was referred to as a ‘vagrant’ and the employees wanted him forcibly removed from the airport.</p>
<p>Fortunately, the police were more sympathetic. Officers were horrified by the situation and lashed out at the airline for allowing this terrible treatment of a fellow human being.</p>
<p>The police then helped the man get the medical attention he so badly needed.</p>
<p>The footage, a police incident, and the loss of a customer’s possessions have done nothing to move the airline to remedy the situation.</p>

</div>

<p>No one has tried to reach out to Louis to show remorse or try and make up for what happened to him.</p>
<p>Since the incident, Louis cannot work and suffered horrible injuries that could have been remedied. He is getting psychiatric treatment, as well as ongoing medical care, and counseling.</p>
<p>He also had to go for orthopedic procedures.</p>
<p>This kind of despicable treatment is not supposed to happen to paying customers, or any human being for that matter.</p>

</div>

<p>The question now is, have there been other cases of United Airlines abusing customers?</p>
<p>Any such United Airlines complaint should definitely be investigated with the help of a legal professional. From there a complaint can be filed the proper way through someone like Nehora Law, who was chosen by Louis Zaharias for representation.</p>
<h2>The Story of the Zaharias Children</h2>
<p>For more than 30 years, <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/50kffx/the_zaharias_children_who_have_been_missing_for/">Louis Zaharias has been searching for his missing children</a>, Christopher Louis, and Lisa Mae.</p>
<p>They disappeared on 27 November 1987 in Mission Viejo, California. Christopher was three years old and Lisa Mae only 15 months when their mother, Susan Elizabeth Gammill Zaharias abducted them.</p>

<p>The evidence trail and search for the Zaharias children went cold and the two have been missing for over three decades.</p>
<p>Louis has spent more than $1 million in his fight to find his children.</p>
<p>After all that, he had to suffer humiliation and abuse at an airport &#8211; what has this world come to?</p>
