How do you even make it to the car and not realize you forgot your kid? Or even a step or two out the door?

Oh BS.
More like "parents only claimed child they left at Chuck E Cheese after they saw the 11:00 news"

You'd figure the parents would at least have noticed that it was unusually quiet and peaceful.

Well if you read the article, they are not together. Claiming they both thought the other had the kid.


I'm sticking with the fact they both didn't give a shit enough to verify the other was going to have the child afterwards.

Hmm; with that kinda communication between mom and dad, it's no wonder there separated...

Many years ago, when I was a member of the San Bernardino County Search and Rescue team, we got a call about a missing little girl. Her family took a day trip to the mountains from L.A. and didn't know she was missing till they got home that night.

It was several days before we found her body part way down the mountainside, below a picnic area the family remembered last seeing her...

Good Lord...how can someone not keep track of their kids...?

I have 4 children, one with ASD, and we camp a lot in the summer. (RV camping....) My wife and I both "take inventory" constantly, to the point of almost not being able to enjoy ourselves until all the kids go in the camper at night and we know where they are. This kind of story blows my mind.

They sure would have noticed when the monthly checks quit coming in. They'd have to start from scratch on a new one.

Yep. I've got four girls too. Two sets of twins, ages 6 and 7. That's all we do. Count to four... over and over.

We might let our guard down in our own home, but that just means there's going to be more work later cleaning it up, or yelling at them to clean it up.

Same thing just happened here in Milwaukee in fact. http://www.wisn.com/news/30572978/detail.html

Baby Momma and Daddy had restraining orders, so Grandma (probably in her 30's herself...) would use the McDonald's as the drop off. Never checked to see if the other parent was actually THERE.

Its true! Having 2 dogs and a 1yo if its quiet in the house, someone is up to something and needs to be checked on.
Its sad when silence is a cause for concern

My wife and I flew to Paris, France for Christmas one year and we forgot our son at home. The next year when we went to Florida we lost him again and didn't realize he was missing until we were at the baggage carousel.

When I was doing the Boy Scout leader thing, I was always afraid that I would leave on of the boys at a rest stop or a gas station. The little jerks all had cellular phones and would call Mama in a heart beat.
