Wait, she got the turtle back, right?
All is well with little Neytiri.

Edit to add:
I think whoever told the girls to throw away the turtle should be reprimanded. The kid was 10, she felt pressured, she threw the turtle away. She made a mistake. Kids do that. She was holding up a flight and panicked. Yeah, she could/should have opted for the next flight, but didn't. She learned a huge lesson.
Of course, the airline is saying they didn't tell her to do that... So who knows.

Based just on what I read in the article, I don't think anyone from the airline told her to throw it away (just my opinion). Unfortunately, unless multiple third-party independent witnesses come forward to corroborate one way or another, we will probably never know the truth on that detail.

She was 10, I wouldn't blame her. She was in the company of her 22 year old sister. I'd blame her.

The 22 year old is also the one who said that they told her to throw it away. Someone's not telling the truth...
