@@ihateyouall7026 Both parent and child will be in distress. It's not simply "oh I'm lost!" It's the dread that you are separated from the only people you know in a sea of strangers. It's disorientating to look around and only see faces unfamiliar to you. Running around looking for them and not finding them just adds fuel to the flames of panic.

She lost a child in overcrowded mall, as soon as she understood what happened she jumped on a bench there and screamed to people about what happened and how her child was looking. So people were willing to help her, they began to search and soon after that the child was found on another floor of the mall. I think she reacted very well!

Crying I spotted a young lady holding his hand because he had run out of the store trying to cross this huge street to go to McDonald's....She was my son's angel, I thanked her but I never got her name because I was so overwhelmed with fear, and relief that he was safe.

I'm so glad he's okay ❤ My house cat got out once and I was terrified she was going to get hurt or killed bc I lived near a main road at the time. I already didn't have any sleep and was walking up the road in a daze, expecting but hoping not to see her lying there after being hit. When I tried looking through the graveyard across from where I lived I was internally begging the people at rest there to help me find her. She was gone all day, probably enjoying the sun tbh, and came back that night. She looked freaked out (she's spooked by everything) but she was ok, thankfully. She's curled up next to me rn. For the amount of terror I felt then, I can't imagine what it must be like for a parent losing a child, even temporarily.

This breaks my heart. Once, I couldn't find my boy for 20 minutes. He slipped out of the vacation home without anyone seeing him. When we found him about five houses down the beach, I just broke down and couldn't stop sobbing for an hour. It was one of the worse feeling I had experience. I pray that every mother and father who have lost their children would reunite with them again. 😢🙏

Everyone's talking about the parent's feelings but what about the kids that gone missing . They're literally lost , they don't know what to do , they're weaker and smaller . What a nightmare for the parents and the kids

[@thegoods7011]

EDIT: just to clarify since some of you seem to be confused. money isn't the only issue, and i never said it was. loving something so much and having it disappear despite putting in so much effort into loving it must be a living hell to experience. yes, while it is equally bad for the parent and child, sometimes the child doesn't understand exactly how deep the situation is. so please don't take the first part of my comment out of context. nah. everyone usually only talks about the child. Imagine investing thousands, even MILLIONS of dollars into your kid, loving them with every ounce of your being, giving up on hopes and dreams, but having them disappear? holy shit. Some parents literally go INSANE trying to look for their kids, but half the time the child doesn't even realize the gravity of the situation.

Yes, my mom would ALWAYS dress us the same as her so she could never forget what we were wearing. But when I was like 10 or 11, i think we were in Walmart, we were getting cat food and my mom said that I should get cat food as she got dog food(an aisle over). I grabbed the cat food and went over to meet my mom but she wasn’t there. So I stayed in the end aisle and looked down all the other ones. I didn’t see her anywhere so I stayed at the cat food. I was so scared because I had never been in that situation and even though I was in Walmart as a 10 year old I was scared. When my mom came back she didn’t even realize that she had scared me. Turns out she decided to grab something from a couple rows over but she never knew I lost her. So yes it is worse for the parent but also the kid depending on the situation. My mom didn’t even think twice about me being lost. If it was in a airport or fair, I agree with you. Sorry for the long comment. I just am so grateful that parents are so careful with their kids.
