In this shocking story a parent abandoned their three year old girl child at the Israel airport. How could we forget a 3 yr old child, it must be a case of  deliberate dumping of child.

 

Staff at Ben Gurion Airport in Israel have found a three-year-old girl alone in a duty-free shop after her parents accidentally took a plane without her.

The parents boarded the flight to Paris with four of their five children.

The parents did not realise their mistake until the captain of the plane informed them after take-off, according to police.

The girl was put on the next flight to Paris. The parents will be questioned when they return to Israel.

"It is usual that travellers in a rush forget their luggage but not a child. This never happens," AFP news agency quoted a police official by as saying.

Sanjay Jha, I like this story.  I once went to pick up my child and other people's children  in kindergarden and drove off before mine got on the car. I have afriend who was left at a gas station as a teenager when she went to the bathroom. I even know a man that drove his camper leaving his wife behind at the gas station bathroom. Boarding at the airport.... it's too much.
