Pinoy Parents board flight, forget toddler at airport

OTTAWA (AFP) - Tickets, check. Passports, check. Luggage, check. Baby ... oops.

A family boarded a flight on Monday in westernmost Canada, and forgot their tot at the
Vancouver international airport, media said Tuesday.

The 23-month-old boy's family had just arrived in Canada from the Philippines,
but they were forced to repack their overweight bags before catching a connecting
flight to Winnipeg, causing them to run late.

In their sprint to the gate, the family became separated.

The boy's father Jun Parreno, told local media he had thought his son was with his wife
and the boy's grandparents, who ran ahead. They thought the boy was with his dad.

On the plane, the family members were seated separately and so did not immediately realize
they had left the child behind.

Sometime later, a security guard found the boy, who speaks no English, wandering near the
departure gate, and Air Canada officials tracked down his shocked parents on the flight.

Because the boy was so young, he was not issued a boarding pass and would have sat on a
parent's lap during the flight, so airline personnel did not notice a passenger was missing.

According to the Vancouver Sun, airport security found a Tagalog-speaking Air Canada agent
who looked after the child while his father flew 2,300 kilometers (1,400 miles) back to
Vancouver to pick him up and then return to Winnipeg to rejoin the immigrant family on
their first day in Canada.

The baby was kept in Air Canada's offices and staff found him some toys, said local media.

"Air Canada took good care of him," Parreno told the daily Winnipeg Free Press upon arrival.
"I'm grateful."

My God this is soooo sad, no matter how busy you are your child is always first priority above all else. What if gikidnap ilang anak? Daghan na kaayo ni nahitabo, naa gani naatrasan ug sakyanan and namatay ang toddler.

Lesson is: always check everything, baby first. Kana among baby di gyud na ipaandar ang sakyanan unless ang ga drive has visual where the baby is, kung naa ba sa gawas with me carrying her far from the vehicle or inside sa yang carseat and safe. Waaaaa makabuang.
