British Airways has been accused of treating all men passengers as = potential=20 sex offenders after it was revealed it has banned children from sitting = next to=20 male strangers - even if their parents are on the same flight.

The bizarre regulation came to light when a nine-year-old girl was = moved from=20 her seat next to a 76-year-old passenger and his wife on a flight from = Malaga to=20 London.

Instead her mother was told by a stewardess to take the seat next to = retired=20 journalist Michael Kemp and his wife Frances, and the girl was moved to = the back=20 of the plane.

Mrs Kemp had booked an aisle seat because a bad leg meant she needed = extra=20 space. But as the Airbus A320 filled up, she was asked to swap seats = with her=20 husband so that she, not he, would be sitting next to the girl.

Mrs Kemp politely declined, explaining to the stewardess that she had = asked=20 for an aisle seat to avoid discomfort during the three-hour flight.

But when Mr Kemp offered to move to the window seat so that the girl = could=20 sit between him and his wife, the stewardess said it would still breach = the=20 airline's child-welfare regulations.

Mr Kemp, from Kensington, West London, said last night: "The little = girl's=20 mother put her in the window seat next to me and then went to her own = seat=20 further back.

"When everyone was seated, the stewardess asked my wife if she would = sit next=20 to the girl. Frances explained why she couldn't move and I thought I = could=20 resolve the problem by moving up and letting the girl sit between = us.

"To my amazement, the stewardess said BA had a rule that no = unaccompanied=20 child under 16 may be seated next to an adult male stranger - even if = there's a=20 woman on the other side.

"The discussion went on for several minutes but she refused to back = down and=20 said we could not take off until the problem was sorted out. I heard her = muttering to a colleague that everyone would have to disembark.

"She didn't seem embarrassed - just rather irritated that it was = taking up so=20 much time.

"The whole thing caused a good deal of inconvenience which could have = been=20 avoided if BA had spotted the problem when we booked our tickets."

Leading child protection campaigner Michele Elliot, director of the=20 children's charity Kidscape, said she was astonished by the BA rule.

"It is utterly absurd. It brands all men as potential sex offenders," = she=20 said.

"What message does it send out to children - that men are not to be = trusted?=20 Women also abuse children. This is just totally lacking in common = sense."

The aircraft was operated by GB Airways, a BA franchise partner. A = spokesman=20 said: "As a responsible airline with a duty of care to our customers, it = is our=20 policy to ensure that, where possible, we do not seat unaccompanied = minors next=20 to adult males.

"We apologise if Mr Kemp was offended by our request, but we have to = balance=20 the needs of the child with those of the adult.

"The policy is there as a precaution in the best interests of the = welfare of=20 young children flying alone."
