I regularly wake up in the night after having a nightmare, usually after misplacing my child. I think that I have now become over protecting.
I did feel so bad for them. They were mortified at having left the child behind and how terrible that looked, but in utter panic at having done it.
It seemed they had got everything ready, put baby (about 9 months old) in car seat, put the car seat on the kitchen table as they loaded up the car, and then just forgot the baby wasnt in the car yet and driven off..
Fortunately their parents lived close to their house, and had spare keys, so were dispatched to collect the baby and make sure all was Ok. But what a horrible moment! Afterall, this was at LGW, and they lived in Hertfordshire, so they had been gone about 2hrs when they realised.
Eeek..
