‘You are not allowed to do this. I got up at 5 in the morning and put a 13-month-old boy on the plane. I simply had to get off the phone with the police and had to describe what my 13-month-old son was wearing.
‘He didn’t make sure he had a pacifier, his lovey blankets or anything. He doesn’t know what time he last ate, nor did he last sleep. He has never had it for more than 30 minutes. This shows how little he cares about his son. So now I’m waiting for the police to arrive.
He added: “I have never experienced anything like this in my life and I pray that no one else has to.” All I have to say is: be careful who you have a baby with.’
The clip has flooded social networks and many users were shocked by Hampton’s behavior.
“RJ Hampton is sick,” one wrote. “The way he talks to his son’s mother is disgusting.”
Another added: “RJ Hampton is literally useless.”
