So I found a 5 year old girl yesterday.....

I would have been taken away by CPS if I was a child these days. With all my runnings off and having accidents and generally getting into to trouble it wouldnt be good for my folks.

About every other time we went to a department store I managed to get lost. It usually started by hiding in the clothes racks....

Me too. I was a master at ditching my mom at the local laundromat when I was about 4 years old or walking to the local Sav-On about a mile away to check out the Halloween masks. But Los Angeles was a different place then.
I have worked for CPS about 14 years now and have seen alot of this crap. The parent who leaves their kid in the car to run into the store to buy some cigarettes (would you leave your wallet unattended on the front seat of your car?). One of the most egregious was when a mom went in to buy some crack and forgot her kids were in the car for several hours.

We have had numerous cases of children dying in cars in summer while the parent ran in to gamble.
