My parents were taking their grandson to the UK for a week, and they were interrogated by the Heathrow security. They didn't have enough proof that they had permission to bring a minor into the country. But it didn't traumatize them or anything. It took two hours to clear everything up, but it was more annoying than frightening.

[@BenjaminGessel]

1.) Notice if the kid looks like the parent. 2.) Notice if the kid has bruises, is acting in a manner that suggests that they are being taken advantage of, etc. 3.) If a hotel manager approaches the parent, they should do do away from the presence of the kid. They should only ask what they can legally ask. There are numbers to call if pedophilia, kidnapping, etc. is suspected. I don’t know how it works in the UK, but in the USA, the police quickly get involved when stuff like this is suspected of occurring…

[@thisguy976]

Not everyone is a darn pedophile. Those whole pedophile witch hunt thing has gone crazy. If you need parents to bring id then state that clearly. Otherwise prepare to be sued for defamation.

[@BenjaminGessel]

@@thisguy976 I agree. I was only mentioning what I would think would be appropriate in this kind of situation. It is out of control-accusing people of pedophilia. Pedophiles are not like McDonalds hamburgers, they are not very common. What some people think is “grooming” is in fact just adults being friendly to kids. REAL pedophiles crave private, one on one, lengthy periods of time with kids, away from parents, chaperones, and others. Why people cannot understand this is MIND BLOWING…

How come a dad doesn't carry around the kids ids? If you have an accident? If someone falls sick? How irreponsible is it to leave the house with a kid and have no identification?

[@charonel]

This is in the UK, we don't have ID cards or anything here. The closest thing we have is either a driver's license or a passport. If you're not traveling outside of the country and expecting to go through customs, there's practically no reason why you'd take a passport with you, and you don't need to have your driver's license on you either even if you're driving, as most people just show it at the police station later on if they've been stopped (you do have to show it if the police pull you over and ask for it, but you can do it the next day or whatever). In the UK, it's really normal to go about your day to day life without any form of ID. It's called not living in a police state.

[@CPT543]

You need an id just to take your kids out?

[@buddysally886]

Doesn’t happen to a women

[@dimitarjackson5562]

It is a horrible thing that happened to that person but still I appreciate that the staff went all along to make sure the child is ok. It better to ruin someone’s holiday than taking a risk. You cannot go without any child identification, that’s totally on him, I’ll never do this when I become a father. I would say good job to the hotel staff.

[@jayrose4913]

I'm confused how could she tell,the child is not his daughter either way. Was she there in the bed when the child was being conceive.
