I was shopping at our little local shopping center the other day and I was just coming back to the underground car park with my bags when I heard a little girl shouting, "Mama, Mama!"I looked around and saw a 4 year-old's head stuck out of an SUV's open backseat window.
I went over to ask her what was the matter and calm her down saying her mom would surely soon be back. But she said she needed to go to the bathroom urgently. With no mom in sight, I told her to get out and I would take her to the bathroom (the entrance of which was 20 meters from the car.)
She was very glad and ran with me to the bathroom explaining that she was not allowed to get out of the car by herself. Afterwards she washed her hands and I took her back to the car. Still, there was no mom in sight. But the little girl gave me this really big smile - relieved as she was - and that made my day!
I really hoped that the girl told her mum afterwards what had happened. So, hopefully, next time she won't leave a little girl alone in the car, even if it is only to buy one quick thing from the store.

Look back over your life - how many times were you saved by some invisible, indescribable force? I believe in miracles - do you? All of us can play a part in somebody's miracle today, tomorrow, or next week, if we're just aware of all the opportunities around us. Thank you for being responsible for that little girl's miracle!

Though i too worry and perhaps in hindsight would have left a note to the mother. We have all been there, us mothers.

pat wrote: I live in switzerland, in a rural area, and it is really rather safe around here - i would not expect anything bad to happen to small children in general. And i would not cry child abuse if a mother leaves a kid in the car in an underground car park for 10 minutes or so. Just, maybe, thoughtlessness. And i still think maybe i should have waited for the mother to come back and talked to her about the situation, so she would not leave her alone in the car again at that young age.
