Your judgmental response to this article makes me curious as to whether you have children or not? My guess would be no.
Unless there was more to that article than I could see, I didn't see any details surrounding how the child got away from the parents. I didn't see any details whatsoever, actually. With that said, children can be really sneaky, and short of padlocking all of your doors and windows shut with only you having the key, kids can and probably will get away from you every now and then; even when being a vigilant parent.
My son is now 13 years old and, while he never pulled a disappearing act while growing up, I don't see it as having been an impossibility if he were an adventurous and sneaky kid. Sure, this is a terrible situation for the child and his family involved, but it doesn't seem like there are any details that would reasonably lead anyone to conclude that the incident was caused by any lack of parenting.
LOLZ It is obvious that you aren't a parent. Do you really expect parents to do a full perimeter check, like some sort of FBI agent, of all of the locations their kids ever play at? Sure, be aware of the surroundings that the kid plays in to minimize realistic threats, yeah, but expecting all parents to do full inspections like they are bomb-squad security is a ridiculous expectation.
I hope there are some circumstances regarding the child's escape from the house. I can't imagine my son escaping without us knowing. He doesn't have the strength to open any of the exterior doors. But once he can, I have some sensors I'm going to put over every exit door from the house that will chime when opened.
I figure stupidity is contagious, and if left unchecked, then perhaps others will be affected by said idiocy. However, on the other hand, touche....
I don't know. When I was a little tyke over 30 years ago, I was quite the little escape artist from what my older brother and mother told me; so I am basing some of what I say on previous experience. It happens. Luckily I fell asleep under a piece of wood by the house, but I could have just as easily walked to a more dangerous area. They were freaking out trying to find me after literally turning their heads for maybe 5 seconds; but that's all it took. Toddlers can find many tiny little places in which to hang out/hide in. They tore the entire house and neighborhood apart in the 2 hours I was missing, called friends to search, etc. Sometimes things like this happen, and you just hope you are lucky enough to find them quickly enough when it does. Most of the time it is no big deal, but sometimes people don't get as lucky.
He may not, but I know I did when I was 2. Not trying to worry you, but just saying that it is possible at that age.
First of all, I AM a parent, this us WHY I am so upset! I have 3 kids. Jr high and 2 little ones. So don't pass judgement until you know! Wouldn't it make SENSE why I am so upset? You can NOT turn you head or leave a 2yo. My 2yo? She gets into EVERYTHING and can climb into everything. No heights off limits to her. Doors and cabinets ALL locked. The middle one? Childproof locks just do not work. He knows how to open them. Let him watch you once, he'll repeat it. Kids are amazingly smart and if your child "that type," then watch out.
There are multiple articles out there. It's under investigation, but the point is, HOW and WHY was a 2 yo not attended to? Nuff said.

Even my dog managed to sneak out a few times on me. Once when sleeping on the couch and again wheni was working in the garage. One instance some passersby few blocks down tried chasing him and he ran home into the garage. I seen the guy Walking up like wtf are you doing and told him that's my dog. Other time I walked around the block yelling his name and he popped out from behind a house smelling like shit too.
meh... we lost my lil bro when he was 3 at walt disney at the hotel waterpark... dude just took off runnin' and at under 3' tall but lightning-like speed he was gone in a blink...
we found him about a half hour later... he was off playing with some random family in his snoopy speedo more than okay.

That's totally our kids
Just so thankful they enjoy messin around on cars like we do! Listen, I KNOW kids are sneaky. I know they bolt. My own are pretty much the same way! Very energetic and love to push those parental boundaries. Walking around the neighborhood or going to park is more stress inducing than just going to let them play. I don't feel safe until they are in my home. Kids are kids, but THIS incident just floors me and I can't fathom the thought of one of my little babies just "taking off" without my knowledge.
I also think it's great to hear all the other parents here that struggle/have fun with their own mini-me's! We should have a TCG waterpark day at Raging Raves !
I was merely following the precedent already started in this thread by you. I thought you would like that.

It's cool buddy
I'm sorry to be so grrrrThis was just SO close and watching people with their children really pisses me off. Especially how they talk to them too. World is going to hell and the media always jacks shit up. That "area" over there? Not exactly too safe. Nobody is the perfect parent, but c'mon. You know?
