I have had the misfortune of this experience twice in my life. Once in the shoe department of Sears in Calgary with my eldest (who was about 2 at the time, and was missing for, oh... an eternity of 5 minutes tops) and once with my second daughter at 4 years old in a waterpark in the USA... she was missing for well over an hour. The park was shut down, the police involved, the whole nine yards. Unbelievably seared into my brain for the rest of my life (I am sure Alzheimer's won't be able to erase it) were the plethora of emotions and scenaria that raced thru my mind. It ended OK... but to this day we remain convinced that there was a serious possibility of foul-play at work in this instance.</p> <p>Sorry you've had to go through that experience.</p> ah yes.

Sorry you’ve had to go through that experience.
