carpenter5 I saw that on the news a day or so after it happened! What I don't understand is why the parent's didn't realize that she was missing? WHY was a 2 year old left alone to wander into the streets in the first place? How could those drivers not have seen her,...

carpenter5 I don't think it's your problem. I do not understand parents not making their children behave in public. I'm totally against child abuse, but not against taking a hand to their padded backsides if they need it. Saturday, we stopped at a restaurant to eat....
