JERUSALEM - An Israeli couple going on a European vacation remembered to take their duty-free shopping and their 18 suitcases, but forgot their 3-year-old daughter at the airport, police said Monday.
Breeders..... They really have their priorities in order don't they?
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

It's worse than that, Marc. This couple were travelling to Paris with their five children. A policewoman in the departure lounge found the child crying. When she managed to quieten the child and get her name and where the family were going she rushed to the departure gate but the plane had already left.
The parents on board were not even aware that one of their children was missing! They found out about it only when the captain told them! The airline put the child on the next plane to Paris in the personal custody of a stewardess.
The police will be waiting for the parents when they return from Paris ready to charge them with gross negligence.
Sometimes I wish one would need to get a licence to be a parent.

The parents should be made to return.
They have no right to a vacation if they can be so neglectful.

I agree it is quite amazing that something as serious and far reaching as parenthood can be entered into as lightly as a few drinks and a fumble round the back of the pub on a boozy Friday night.

They did. Remember that idiotic movie "Home Alone" starring Macauley Culkin? I think it came out the year I was born.

One have to pass exam to get the driving licence, but anyone (healthy) can become a parent almost in the blink of an eye without the test focused on: "Are you parental type?". Well, well, natural selection.

In a distant time I was a scout leader and it never ceased to amaze me of the reasons and excuses parents would come up with to avoid collecting their own kids from, camp or any other activity. Some would openly admit they were glad to be free of them for the day or week or fortnight of a camp. As for being at the hut (scout HQ) to actually meet their offspring at the conclusion... the excuses beggared belief at times.Fact is often stranger than fiction. The parent who would never arrive at the hut until an hour and a half later then the weekly meetiing had finished because he always went to the 19th green at the golf club. Or the one that went off for two weeks holiday whilst we were away for just one and we had to look after the lad for a week. I could go on and any glance at a modern scout leader forum will produce many more even stranger situations.
The classic of all time as far as I am concerned and one that 20 years after formed the basis of a story, was that of a 14 year old scout who returned home from camp to fine his parent had eloped with a lover during the period, to New Zealand from the U.K. never to be seen again, leaving a hundred quid for the lad to fend for himself until his dad ( away at sea on a submarine) could make arrangements... Oh well Licence!!!

Paul,
you amaze me! Reading the stories on IOMFATS and Awesomedude and Codey and so on one reads of parents who misbehave but the thought that real people behave like that makes my blood boil.
I think I would have enjoyed being a scout leader.
Love,
Anthony

Finally got off from work early enough to get on line for a few. Parents leaving their child behind at an airport is nothing. Some parents are actual monsters (just get to know my dad). When a father tries to beat his son to death and then goes and watches his favorit TV program, thats the one people should be up in arms against.
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you......

Yes, It was true back then ( mid 1980's ) and is so today as any perusual of E-scouts forum will reveal many a thread of 'parental misbehaviour' or expectations of a scouter ( scout leader) far beyond the normal expectancies believe me...

hey Michael,
yes, definitely, the natural selection is the BEST process ever made...
[sigh] What I tried to say is, that there are loads of couples that can't have their own kids and an adoption or assisted reproduction is somehow problematic for them, while there are people who do not deserve such delicate (undoubtedly) being as a child to bring up.

Dear Curtis,
Thanks for the warning; I'll avoid him.
The story behind that post of yours sounds painful and also worth recording, even if you don't want to share it.
Love,
Anthony

I'm not minimalizing these children or anyones experience but when I look around at parents interaction with their children I frequently find myself cringing. For me it was a very subtle psychological sadism.
This isn't an insult to anyone but we all are a pretty messed up bunch we humans... I'm not so sure gay couples could or would be any better. Though I have to tell ya I have dreamed of what it would have been like to have two dads. I mean there was little or nothing to endear me to my family, even though I was never physically left behind, I was left behind.
