In a Threads post uploaded on July 13, user @zaraaleesya4 shared a video showing the man balancing the child over the rubbish bin, along with a photo of him squatting beside a stroller with the child inside.
The video appears to show the child defecating into the bin.
The post was captioned: “They just let their child poop in the rubbish bin even though the toilet was right behind. The whole boarding gate ended up smelling.”
