When parents say they "lost" their kid, it's a hundred percent their fault.

I've heard too many horror stories of parents saying they were at a mall/camp/hotel and couldn't find their kid.<br><br>Let me tell you as a former child, you ALWAYS know where your parents are. I would never wander off without making sure I knew exactly where my parents were. Kids don't just "wander off". Kids don't just get lost. It's always the parents fault. <br><br>One of my cousins claimed that their kid was getting admitted to the hospital after getting lost in the camp my family was going to. (It was a long drive, and we weren't exactly packed up yet) And lo and behold, when we get there, he was at the hospital.<br><br>If you can't watch your kid, don't have one.<br><br>Edit: Since people are asking, with my former child statement, I meant to say as a child. I am no longer a child, obviously.<br><br>Edit #2: I understand where people are coming from with the whole "accidents can happen" thing. But the thing is, most of the time, it's not an accident. It's neglect. I can't count how many times I've seen lost kids, scared to death, and the parents don't give a fuck. <br><br>(I'm only 15 so I don't have kids and have never had kids. I can only speak from a child's perspective. So obviously I can't say all of the time. but a majority of the time, it's neglect.)
