So we are at the circus last night....a little long!
And there is a woman in front of us with her son....hes about 4 or 5.
I was there with my parents, my little sister, my older sister, niece and nephew.
So its intermission and I hear the lady say to her son...." stay here dont move" and she gets up...and walks away, I guess to go to the bathroom. I was like....what?? This boy was so little.
So I look at my older sister and I told her what the lady said. She was shocked.
So like 3 minutes later...the boy starts looking around and getting a little scared. So he GETS UP and starts to walk out. I yelled to the end of the row to my Dad NOT to let this little boy leave all alone! So he stops him and explains to the usher what happened. So we told the little boy just to wait for his Mommy to get back because we didnt want him to get lost! So like 10 minutes later she comes back. My Dad is like.....is this your son? And shes like...yes. So hes like...he tried to follow you after you left! So shes lke....." I told you not to move!"
OMGGGG
So my Dad goes...how old is he? Shes like....5.....so hes like...WHAT DO YOU EXPECT HIM TO DO???
So then she sits down and says to him.........' I guess I cant leave you alone anymore"
WHAT?
Am I wrong for being upset? This liittle boy looked SOOOO sad when he was standing there waiting for her to come back. I was almost in tears.

Re: So we are at the circus last night....a little long!
She should not have left him alone-not for a second. Does she live in lala land? Has she never seen the news or read the papers where terrible things are happening to children in our world everyday? She needs to wake up.

Definitely not wrong to be upset.
I'm just glad you had your eyes and ears open. Who knows what could have happened if he just walked away looking for her.
 to your dad for getting him to stay seated.

Re: So we are at the circus last night....a little long!
This reminds me of one time DH & I were at Shea about 8 years ago at a day game. A father and son were in front of us. The father gets up to go to the bathroom and says to us "keep an eye on him would ya?" We were too stunned to say no. Luckily the kid (he was around 8 or 9) was too into the game to leave.

I was all the way at the other end of the row...because there were 9 of us...so my Dad didnt even hear what I was really saying...I was just like...GET THAT BOY!
lol
So my Dad jumps over the row in front of us to get out and get him. I have never seen him move so fast! ha

What a jerk!!!!!!!!!!
I would NEVER, EVER, leave my 5 year old alone.. I don't even leave my kids in the car to run into Dunkin Donuts in the morning. I am so paranoid!
People are idiots!!!

Re: So we are at the circus last night....a little long!
5 is a bit young to leave alone only for that reason. BRAVO for you and your family to take control of the situation.

Re: So we are at the circus last night....a little long!
I just can't understand how someone could do that. No common sense! First of all, he's 5 and seriously..what do you expect? Even if he 'listened' and did sit there and wait patiently for his mother...don't you watch the news?? There's a lot of sickos out there! Unbelievable.
It's a good thing you & your family were there. One can only imagine what could have happened.

Re: So we are at the circus last night....a little long!
5 is WAY too young to be left alone!!! That mother is lucky that he hasn't been snatched by somebody  ! Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I wouldn't ever leave a child of ANY age alone in a crowded place like that.

Re: So we are at the circus last night....a little long!
I don't get why she couldn't just take the kid with her? I'm glad you looked out for them. Hopefully that put a scare into her, knowing that he was going to take off.

Re: So we are at the circus last night....a little long!
that is HORRIBLE! I was there Wednesday night with my 4 year old and there it was so crowded. Never in a million years would I leave me son alone for a second so I could run to the bathroom, ANYWHERE!
I held DS's hand so tight walking with him and we were getting knocked into and pushed around a couple of time by some overbearing people. At one point I picked him up and carried him because I didn't feel it was safe for him to walk next to me

Re: So we are at the circus last night....a little long!
Oh I can imagine. I've been in that kid's shoes...not at 5 but at 7 years old definitely. I know exactly how nervous he felt. He's lucky you were paying attention.  to you for caring.

Re: So we are at the circus last night....a little long!
What's really sad is that the little boy listened to what a total stranger told him to do.
ETA: I wanted to add, I think what your family did was fantastic. I'm sad, because who knows what kind of people could have been in your seats.
