I mean I see her point that she considered him responsible for Kevin getting lost because he scared him away. So I see her point. But on the other hand, she should have been extra careful with Kevin after he was forgotten the previous time. She should have made sure he was on the plane.
shareI feel that same way, but they should've had Peter carrying him like Frank was carrying Fuller, or had all the kids in front of them while they ran through the airport.
shareI agree. So she was accusing him as if he was the only one at fault, when they were at fault for Kevin getting lost in the first place. I mean what kind of a mother lets her kid get lost after he was forgotten the previous time? And as the lady whom I don't know her name, said that Kevin had a very convincing story.
shareTotally. I just didn't get Kevin's parents, or the rest of the family. I know they all loved Kevin, but letting Frank call him a little jerk, always taking Buzz's side when he's obviously in the wrong, etc.
shareI made a thread a while back, I'll copy and paste the link below:

Now I'll quote the paragraph which addresses the main subject of this thread:
Then of course there's the Plaza Hotel staff, whose mishandling of the matter: Buying Kevin's "convincing story", checking him in, and direct confrontation over the credit card in the public lobby, resulting in a chase and them losing him, certainly didn't help either - the very reason Peter and Kate were mad at them.
Fortunately, Mr. Hector didn't fall for the ruse (rightfully so), but as manager he shouldn't have allowed the check-in process to go forward. Instead, he should've quietly notified police that they have an unaccompanied child in their care and advise Kevin to stay put until he can be spoken to (while also assuring him that he's not in any trouble) and the matter get's resolved.
Once the McCallister's reunite with their son and come to collect him, the hotel could take some credit for keeping Kevin safe and put the bill on Peter and Kate.
One million percent agree. Kate had her points. The only thing that I blame Kate and Peter is letting Kevin get lost after he was forgotten the previous time.
