We were at Holiday World on Saturday (what were we thinking) and at the water park changing clothes. I was in a stall by myself as Noah was with Jerry. I heard a lady start yelling for someone to grab her son. I wasn’t sure what was going on and I was dressed so I came out of my stall.
She came out and looked at me and said did you see where my child went? He is 18 months old, Thomas the Train shirt and he crawled under the stall and I couldn’t get my door open. That quick and he was gone. She was in a panic as any mother would be of course.
We started to tell the attendant and anyone that would listen to help us find this child. First of all the attendant acted as if we had told her there was too much water on the floor. Her reaction sucked and the level of urgency was pathetic. The second thing is that we couldn’t seem to get anyone else to help us. Maybe 3 or 4 other females helped us start searching for this child. I even heard one loser woman say, “This isn’t my problem” as she walked away.
20 minutes into this search the child was located and let me tell you he had wandered quite a long distance in this short time and ANYONE could have taken this child. My heart went out for this mother so much because all I could think was this could be me, it could me by niece, it could be any of us and no one seemed to give a care.
When they met the mother grabbed this child as a mother would and burst into tears and I have to tell you I cried a little too. I was just a little overwhelmed with what happened. My sister asked me why I was crying and I just told her it was too much for me. It broke my heart. More so that no one seemed to want to help us find the boy.
Thank goodness he was found. Also during the day at the crazy water play area there were 2 other little girls that were lost and they were no older than 3. The parents didn’t even seem to care when they hooked up with them. It was as if they just waited for someone to help them show up. One lady even let her child back in the madness and went back to her chair.
I don’t get people and how they choose to let children roam free with all the evil in the world. Noah went NO WHERE at that park without us by his side at all times. People are just crazy. You have to protect your children, they are a blessing.
