Should AirBnB have legal responsibilities to their guests? A young boy was trapped in a room at an AirBnB guest house in Madrid. His mother called AirBnB, but was only directed to call the Madrid police to solve the problem. Criminal defense attorney, Nicole Deborde tells FOX Business News that AirBnB should be held liable from a legal standpoint. She argues that although AirBnB uses numerous disclaimers, they also stress that “you are our guest,” yet do “absolutely nothing to help their guests when, in this case, there is a crime in progress.” Since it is not feasible to supervise over half a million properties around the globe, Nicole Deborde suggests that AirBnB employees should be well trained to handle emergency situations like this instead of just “[ferrying] the person onto law enforcement.” Thankfully the situation did not escalate and the boy made it out safely.
