JERUSALEM — An Israeli couple going on a European vacation remembered to take their duty-free shopping and their 18 suitcases, but forgot their 3-year-old daughter at the airport, police said today.
The couple and their five children were late for a charter flight to Paris Sunday and made a mad dash to the gate. In the confusion, their daughter got lost.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said a policeman found her wandering in the duty-free area at Ben-Gurion airport, Israel's bustling main international air portal. He said the officer alerted airline staff, but the flight had already taken off.
Israeli media said the parents were an ultra-Orthodox Jewish couple but did not give their names.
Rosenfeld said the parents were unaware they had boarded the aircraft with only four children instead of five until they were informed by cabin staff after 40 minutes in the air.
I also have to confess me and my daughter were at the library. I was looking for movies and turned to go to the check out when my daughter asked me where the baby was, I had left her beside where I was looking for the movies.
I have never forgotten my child was with me but don't look down on those that have. I can see how a momentary thing can happen...for a MOMENT.
In this case, there were SIX other people involved and a 45 minute time lapse. Not one of them looked at the empty seat and thought "where's the baby?" It seems a little fishy to me.
