A mere oversight, but makes for a nice birthday ending. I guess the parents thought they paid for the overnight sleepover with Chuck E. plan. :confused:

Also why didn't the police contact them that night????
 
There's no doubt that child will remember that birthday for the rest of his life. I just don't see how you can accidentaly leave a child behind. Sorry I have abandonment issuses, so my daughter is never out of my sight.
Maybe they were playing hide and go seek..lol.
 
Let's hope everything works out for that child(and all the others that need help) Some parenst just don't grasp the concept of parenting,they think it's an optional thing they can pick and choose when they want to do it.I have had a coule of my daughters friends over for DAYS at a time with no contact with their parets,they don't call to check on them or to ask me if it's alright for them to still be here or anything and when I have the child try and contact home noone is there and noone calls back and so on and so on.It's realy sad.
 
I went to our family cottage which is next to a camp ground. My daughter who is 9 ran into a kid from school. I have no idea who this kid is, there for the parents didn't know who I was. The kid ran back to his camp site and asked if he could play. His parents never came over to ask if it was o.k. or to even meet me. He stayed with us for hours and hours until I sent him home. I still haven't meet his parents. We live in a good area and the cottage is in good area, but that doesn't mean that only good people live in the area.

I have noticed that as my kids get older(there 10 and 11) most of their friends parents don't want to take the time just for introductions,and I feel as they get older it's even MORE important for ME to try and get to "know' who my kids are hanging around with.I have actualy had times when the girls are on the phone making plans with their friends to come over or what not and I have said I would like to talk to one of the parents and make sure they area ware of the plans and have heard the parents in the background say "just tell her I know about it,I don't have time to talk right now."and these are people I have never met or talked to.Sad sad world.
 
Went to my daughters school picnic today and saw the boy's father. The whole time he was there he talking on his blackberry. What's the point on going to school activity if your really not going to be there. I feel sorry for that boy, the whole time he kept asking me to watch him do thing on the playground.
 
poor kid, i have a 6 yr old almost 7 (the 15th) and the only way he goes with someone besides me or his dad is when i know about it and watch him get in the car with them. we go places all the time but i make sure i always know exactaly where my kids are. but i guess i am just one of those overprotective moms:)

Good child raising is not being overprotective. As long as they are minors it is your responsability to know where they are and what they are doing. Hopefully when they "come of age", they won't be involved with drugs, bad sex and crime because of your good influence. But don't fool yourself either, peer pressure is a terrible thing to overcome for a parent. In the mean time do your best and keep up the good work and don't think your "overprotective". The people who "lost" their kid are a-holes and it's nice to at least see that the child protective people took the correct actions since they usually get bad press for the few a-holes they (as everyone else) have to employ, who don't do their jobs. Parentling is a full time occupation.

Nothing wrong w/ being over protective. I admit..I am very over protective.
 
If momma lion doesn't protect the cubs shes just just like all the other lions. Protect is a goood thing. The only guys who try to tell you it's bad are the analists (sic). That's probably why the kid got left at Chucky Cheese.
 
It will probably be a fond memory for him too. Someday, should he become a standup, he'll have them rolling.
