I lost my little girl in tesco once for about ten minutes. She was hiding in a rack of clothes that was quite low, so was hidden under them. There was about 3 members of staff looking for her. I was utterly and completely frantic, desperate, totally beside myself!!
They just didnt look like they had lost a child, not how i would have expected them to look.
Well said Yogi, mine have also slept on chairs pulled together on holidays!! thats a typical lovely holiday memory.
And yes, I think I also agree they should have been punished for leaving the children alone. Stupid stupid people.
