Has Anyone Ever Lost Their Child?

[ummmm]

Not being flippant (I'm watching The Missing)

I lost my son once. I'm very grateful for some advice I got, obviously teach them about stranger danger, but that doesn't always work. I taught them that if they ever lost sight of me to sit down and start screaming.

He was only about 3 and I didn't realise he understood.

Then my MIL told me a story about my OH and his sister. She was buying stuff in MotherCare and he got on one of the toys and road out the shop, his sister followed but went in the opposite direction. MIL caught up with his sister but couldn't find him. She was looking frantically for him when someone approached her asking had she lost a little ginger boy (both his mother and sister are ginger) he was in the shopping centre talking to an elderly man.

See...ginger hair has it's purposes!! :-D

[ummmm]

That is sad Woof.

My dad was the kind of man that kids instantly liked. He was very nice and kind and kids knew that (and animals, they also loved him)

One time we went on holiday and we having a picnic. I think it was a Drake,took a liking to my dad, and it kept attacking us if we near him. We had to throw sandwiches to him :-)

My Mum lost my sister on Woolacombe beach in the summer when the beach was packed with people. The beach is 3 miles long and she had no idea which way she had gone or even if she went into the sea.

[ummmm]

My grandparents lost me on a beach in Donegal...

My mum left my sister outside the Post Office. She said she was walking home thinking 'I'm sure I've forgot something'

Yeah....you forgot you had a baby :-)
