Witness a case of a little girl crying hysterically looking for her mother at a busy tourist spot. She is probably 3-4 years old, we notice her and our eyes followed her while she aim and search for her mum endlessly. We looked out for her in case she fall into hands of bad guys as well as we want to know where is the mother and if she is also looking for the poor kid.
The little girl finally found the mother and guess what we saw? The mother was busy taking photo for her little boy and we bet she didn't even notice that her little girl went missing. The mother offer no comfort when she saw the crying little girl and she carried on with her photo taking. A man who appeared to be the father offer no comfort to the poor girl too. After the mother finally finish with photo taking, she turned around and look at the girl, instead of offering her a big hug, she push her to the father. I stood there looking at the family and I felt so sorry for the little girl.
The little girl could be naughty and roam around without the parents permission or it could be the parents got distracted by some stuffs and forgot about the little girl. Whatever is the reason, the parents failed to protect their little girl and expose her to potential risk and danger.
Am I feeling emotionally affected because I am a mother myself? Maybe, since protecting our children is something very nature. A mother do not need to be taught to know what's the right things to do. Yet, I might be taking common sense and common responsbiliy for granted.
