lost child

[what..the?]

I just went into town and as a entered woolworths there was a mother shouting for her child.

As time went on and I went to the other end of the shop you could hear the mother louder and louder and her voice changing as she became more and more worried.

I started to see shop assistants walking the aisles looking for the child and and people talking about what the child looked like.

It was just horrible, they still hadn't found the child when I left but being there it really paniced you to hear what was going and the mothers voice it was horrible.

Have you seen anything like this or lost a child yourself.

Oh how horrible for the mum, I really hope she found him or her before too long!

I once lost my eldest daughter in a co op when she was about 3, luckily it was only a little store and it only took a minute or two of frantic looking up the aisles to find her- she was sat on the floor in the chilled department with a tub of marge between her legs shovelling the stuff into her gob.

I remember someone in a nearby village losing their child, because it was a small village alot of us knew the parents and everybody started looking for him , poor little ben was found in the garden pond. :-(

It's normal for a 3 year old I guess yeah, only today I took my 4 year old into Asda, an as we toddled through the fruit section she whipped an apple and started munching on it.

[what..the?]

open water is so dangerous with small children isn't it poor thing, how terrible.

My son used to hide from me in shops but panicked if he happened to lose sight of me for a second. One day in particular , when he was about 3, I was so stressed and he had hidden from me again, or at least he thought he had, but I could see him so I thought I'd get my own back, just in the hope that it would scare him enough to stay with me. I hid behind some clothes and when he emerged from his hiding place he looked very worried. Just as I was about to pop out at him he cried in a loud voice "I've lost my mummy, she's fat and wearing a red coat !!" Little sod ! Even worse was when I emerged, the assistant said " This looks like mummy !!" That was over 20 years ago and we still laugh about it.

[what..the?]

......are you still fat and own a red coat we all want to know?

[4getmenot]

I was never lost exactl... Mum always found me in either the childrens books sitting crossed legged on the floor or if there was something shiney that lit up and made a noise and had buttons then I would be the child driving the rest of the shop up the wall playing with them... Not much has actually changed to this day.

[4getmenot]

I once lost one of my sons in Argos and after screaming the shop down and crying, he eventually turned up holding the hand of a security guard!!!!

I once lost my daughter on Scarborough beach. She had gone to the water to fill her bucket and I just took my eyes off her for a second, I couldn't find her anywhere and I was in sheer panic, until someone told me there was a little girl crying in the lost childrens tent, it was her and she was still holding her bucket full of water.
