WOW in a bad way! :(

So tonight I went to the Olive Garden with my family and well we were outside awaiting our buzzer/pager thingy and during this time a family was coming out the door and they disappeared...BUT LEFT A TODDLER BOY probably only 3 just wondering alone and then he started to scream for mommy and crying and walking on the sidewalk down the way; so I followed him and grabbed his hand so he didn't run into the parking lot...I kept reassuring him everything will be OK but honestly I was like WHAT, WHERE and WHY did they just leave and NOT notice their adorable boy not with them....UM can we all say together NEGLECT/FORGOTTEN?

I walked him back to were my family was and kept my hand in his and sometime later right before our buzzer went off this mother and father come and she said, "oh we were just switching cars..." I WAS LIKE WHAT!!! Switching cars so you leave him here to wonder alone assuming he was safe??? Mind you only my family was there waiting outside...what could have happened didn't happen but it still IRKS me SO bad that the parents didn't seem upset or anything for that matter!

It honestly amazes me how some parents are so careless towards their own children :( Alhamdulillah the boy was fine....but there are all these IF's/AND'S or BUT's....
