[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 7 year old and I probably would have taken her in only because prescriptions could take a while and lines can be long.

I wrote on another thread that I used to leave my boys in the car when I bought milk at 7-11 or picking up dry cleaning. I could see the car and then through the window.[/quote]

If you’re in a CVS you will not be in there for only 10 minutes.   I did the same thing.  If I was in front of the store with glass and I could see them every the whole time I would, but otherwise they come in with me.

I was at a playground once near some baseball fields where there were little league games going on or something.    This three year little boy fell and hurt himself.  No one came to claim him.   I picked him up and walked with him hoping someone would see him but when no one did I called the police after 20”.  The police came and when they went to take him he clung to me like his life depended on it.  He was terrified.

The father came running over after 5 minutes.   I’m sure he didn’t envision this scene when he went out that day.

Something like that could happen to me. I have three kids. One of them wanders off and another doesn't program in moving their butt to cooperate with you to help find the missing one. I'm #2 of 6, I remember my sister, #3 so one of the older ones, just wandered off. We had to spend the day at the first aid station while my dad looked for her.[/quote]

Yeah that happens.  My mother will never forget when my youngest sister wandered off at the beach,the ocean. She was hysterical. But mothers notice pretty quickly.

But he was nowhere near the playground.   He was somewhere in the stands.    I walked slowly back and forth in front of the stands figuring someone would notice a woman holding their child and run over.  When that didn’t happen I had to finally call the police.  Even after the police arrived it took him awhile to realize they were there because of him. I wonder if his wife ever found out. [/quote]
